This Summer the kitchen is my home sweet home. I’m either cleaning up, washing dishes, cooking ahead a meal, grabbing snacks, or baking something, a.k.a. I have become my Grandmother… Yesterday, I spent the entire day baking and preparing Sourdough dough, and I’ve already got bread in the oven this morning.

I have a few photos to share from my kitchen in May, and one seriously EPIC FAIL from my kitchen too…

Chocolate Chip Cookies…. Cookies, cookies, cookies. I keep asking my family if they would like me to bake anything else, and nope, just Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Cinnamon Rolls, breadmaker cheater batch. I’ve been stocking the fridge for grab and go breakfasts for James, and Cinnamon Rolls fit the bill. I take a little (well a lot) of help from the breadmaker with this recipe, and proof the dough with it instead. It really does cut down the time, but I feel a little guilty.

Homemade Chocolate Mousse. I made this for myself for Mother’s Day. I also froze half of the batch, and made some amazing ice cream out of it.

I made a big batch of Cherry Cheesecake Pudding. I’ve been making lots of cool desserts lately. This one was absolutely delicious, even though my family wouldn’t try it, because they don’t like cheesecake, and they are crazy…

Agnes and I made a batch of Sunbeam Cookies, the kids loved them!

Banana Muffins, I double the batch, and keep them in the fridge for fast breakfast. The kids even like them for dessert too.

We have been going through a lot of bread, so I’m making a few loaves from scratch for the kiddos lunches. It is so tasty, and makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

Depression Cake, Snack Cake, Wacky Cake, Crazy Cake, whatever you call it, throw some ice cream on top of it, and it is dessert.

So the tiny ones have been wanting to help me in the kitchen. They like to help prep ingredients, and make suggestions on what to make next. We were watching a cooking show on Food Network when they spotted Marshmallow Dream Brownies. The tiny ones said right away that we needed to make them.

To the internet, to obtain the recipe, and to the store for the extra ingredients, and then off to the kitchen to follow the direction step by step,

And I ended up with an entire pan of FAIL! O.k., so we called them spoon brownies, and they did taste pretty good. I’m going to try this recipe again, but this time, I’m using a bigger pan.

I hear my oven beeping, so it is time to take the Sourdough Rolls out of the oven. I had better get to it.
