October’s Tasty Treats

Usually it is only desserts that you will see on this post, but this time around I thought I would share a few more homemade dishes from the kitchen with you.

I had heavy whipping cream on hand in the fridge, so I thought about whipping it up. I made a Homemade Coconut Cream Pie to go along with it. It was amazingly good.

126

I made Agnes some completely from scratch vanilla buttercream cupcakes for her birthday, and she wasn’t too enthused about them.

132

She ended up chucking her cupcake on the floor. I thought they were pretty good though.

When it was James birthday, I had a recipe for thin crust pizza that I couldn’t wait to try out. So I asked the kiddos to help with the menu, and I made a big pizza buffet.

010

There was Thade’s favorite Pepperoni.

011

James new favorite Ground Beef, Pepperoni, and Bacon ( this one ended up being my favorite too).

0124

Cheese Pizza was Dylan’s favorite.

0131

The BBQ Chicken with Bacon was so good. There was cake too, a Chocolate Bundt Cake, but sadly there are no pictures, my family tore into the cake at record speed.

This month it is all about holiday baking, and Thanksgiving dishes. I’m so ready to start baking some Pumpkin Pies too!

September’s Tasty Treats

You know my kitchen has been really busy, and it’s just the start of Autumn. I love to bake bread, cakes, muffins, and of course cookies in Autumn. September brought a cookie catering gig, and I got out the bread maker too.

012

I made a big batch of Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, Dylan and James helped out a bit too.

0121

Oh yeah, Chocolate Ganache Topped Brownies too.

005

I needed to make 15 dozen cookies for a cookie catering gig, so I made Chocolate No Bakes

0041

Cakerdoodles

0062

Candy Bar Cookies

0122

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (the kiddos new favorite)

015

and Caramel Apple Oatmeal cookies too.

018

James also wanted a batch of Coconut Macaroons, but those were just for us at home.

002

I’ve also been using the bread maker all the time. I love to serve a fresh loaf of bread with dinner.

October is going to bring a lot of treats too. I’m still trying to figure out what to make for our anniversary, and I’ll be making some homemade Vanilla Cupcakes for Agnes first birthday. Then there is James birthday, and two more cookie catering gigs too. It looks like it will be another busy month in the kitchen.

August’s Treats

I have a lot of cooking to do in September, but I thought I would share some of the goodies from August.
