It wasn’t super hot yesterday, so I took advantage of the semi-coolness and did some baking.
I made three loaves of whole wheat bread (one for communion, two for us),
a double batch of buns, ( I’ve been using the dough from Honey-Glazed Pan Rolls for this lately…I just leave off the glaze.)
a batch of Snickerdoodles,
and a new recipe for soft ginger cookies. The dough is still in the fridge, unbaked, so the jury is out on whether or not the recipe is good. 😉
I made some mess, but not as much as one might expect, because I had to keep washing and re-using my bowls and pans. So, it’s not like I ended up with a huge pile of dishes when I was all done.
Have a lovely Sunday, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow. 🙂
Today’s 365 post: Help me!

No baking here this weekend but I did do a lot of batch cooking. Trying to fill my freezer with homemade convenience foods before school starts next week. I did 3.5# of taco meat, 3.5# of ground beef seasoned for Italian meals, 3# of cooked chicken - diced & sliced for meal plans, and 10c. of brown rice. That should provide the base for quite a few meals. I had hoped to get 2 batches of cookie dough in the freezer too but I ran out of time. When the weather cools, I'll do some baking.

That's it, I'm bookmarking your blog in by "blogs" folder for easy future access. Good reading and info. Just might inspire me to use that oven more as well.

Loved this post! Everything looks great! Thanks for giving us another glimpse into your life for some much needed inspiration :)
The pictures, as usual, look awesome. Were these taken on the rebel or on the new camera body?

I'm not positive...I know some of them were taken with the 7D, but I think a few were taken with my old body too! I switched back and forth yesterday. lol

It's so hot here, I can't even imagine turning on the oven. We had pizza on the meal plan, but I decided to go with pesto (already in the freezer) pasta (already in the fridge)..... and I was still sweating preparing it! Everything looks delicious, though - and now you're set for awhile.
