September’s Tasty Treats

I had lots of yummy dishes going on in the month of September. I broke in my new oven, and got back to baking. Here are a few photos from my kitchen.

My gardening buddy brought me some fresh tomatoes that he had grown. They were so delicious with pasta and broccoli. I might have to give tomato growing a try next year.

Before the new oven arrived, I made lots of no-bake goodies. The kids were pretty happy with this batch of Rice Krispies treats.

I also used the waffle maker. I made up a big batch for breakfast for dinner night. I love Belgian Waffles, and they freeze well too.

Finally the new oven arrived, and just in time too. I had a cookie catering gig in just a few days, and I needed to break in the new oven and stove.

I tested a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies to get my timing down. They were close, but they needed a bit of adjusting.

The second batch was perfect. I was making a big batch of Giant Chocolate Chip cookies, and brownies for the cookie catering gig. I took this plate over to my neighbors.

I also made Cakerdoodles for the cookie catering gig. I shared these with the neighbors too.

One large Cherry Pie,

and one large Peach Pie were also requested for the cookie catering gig.

All packed up and ready to go to the lunch.

Since I had leftover Rice Krispies, I made up a recipe for Peanut-free Scotcheroos. My kiddo with the allergy didn’t care for them, so I ended up eating them all…

I made a Chocolate Bundt Cake from scratch. I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. It wasn’t too tough to make, and I had everything on hand to make it. The cake was moist and delicious too.

The Homemade Chocolate Glaze was easy to make too. Luckily the family approved, and I’ll be making this recipe again soon.

I made a Pumpkin Pie for the first day of Autumn. Nothing says Hello Fall, quite like pie does.

My neighbor shared her sourdough starter with me. I gave it a try, and baked two loaves of bread. They were so delicious. I have been feeding the starter, and making lots of different types of breads.

One very rainy day. I took pies to my hubby’s co-workers. One was Cherry, and the other was Dutch Apple. Surprise pies are the best.

I finished off the month by baking more Chocolate Chip Cookies. You would think they would be sick of them by now, but no, they love them. I guess I’ll keep baking them.

Speaking of Chocolate Chip Cookies, I’m pre-heating the oven right now to make another batch. The boys have an early-out day at school, and Thade is having a friend over for the afternoon. That calls for more cookies.
