Baking Done...

 

The weather cooled down a little

so I thought I would do some baking,

Haven't done much lately, so I thought

I would try a couple new thing...

 

 

These are some Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.

They were, to my surprise, very good.

The only difference I noticed was that they were crispy.

All that really matters is that my dear husband likes them,

he is the Chocolate Chip cookie lover...

they passed the test with flying colors:)

Next was a Chocolate Bundt Cake...

This is a double chocolate cake with chocolate pudding filling and

chocolate drizzle icing... Now this would be my field of

expertise... OH MY, this cake definitely passed the test with me!!!!

 





Busy Last Week...Busy This Week

Last week I was able to get my

quilt blocks made for an upcoming Friendship Swap.

Got to use up a lot of scrap fabrics I had stashed away!!!

All have left to do is sign them:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then the first of some garden goodies ripened...

So I made my first batches of Blackberry Jelly and Salsa.

There is a jar or two of each already missing...

My dear grandchildren LOVE both of these items:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I received this too too cute Summer Mug Rug

from a wonderful quilty friend :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spent some of this past week cleaning so I can get going on

some much needed re-organizing and getting rid of.  I can't

believe we will back in school in less than a month....

I have curriculum to go through and lesson plans to get done,

Good Grief, I've got so much left to do!!!!!

So much for getting the living room wall paper stripped

and a new paint job on those walls - that will have

to wait until Fall Break :)

And this week is even busier in the kitchen -

I have 2 bushels of peaches to can and make into jelly,

About a bushel and a half of tomatoes, so far,

to transform into salsa and tomato juice,

and 6 gallons of Blackberries and

3 gallons of Red Raspberries to make into Jelly.

Next it will be more tomatoes & green beans & potatoes...

and it won't be long before the pears & apples will be ready.

I am so very blessed to have all this coming in and the

ability to can everything :)  I Thank God for all His blessings

and all that is good in my life.

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry

Sweets for the Sweets

Today's high was only about 60 F.  So I thought,

"Self, you need to bake something special for the Grands after school snack...

Ahhhh, Amish Whoopie Pies should do the trick"

And of course to celebrate the Fall temperature

I added some Fall color to them:)

Yes they were a BIG hit!!!

Oh, the grand kids liked them too :)

Blessings to All,

Terry
