I might have to make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies soon.

On Sunday, I tackled the remaining limes in the refrigerator and juiced them. I froze 1/3 cup. Little of the zest was useable. I decided to take the King Arthur recipe for Lemon Crinkle Cookies and see if I could use the rest of the lime juice. I substituted white whole wheat for the AP flour and added 1 Tbs. milk powder. I replaced the 2 Tbs. of melted butter with an additional tablespoon of avocado oil (my oil choice) and increased the lime juice from 3 to 4 Tbs. It is a soft dough and would likely be so even without my substitutions. The cookies baked for 11 minutes. I might increase the time by 30 seconds if I bake this recipe again. They would be better with the zest, but they are good enough to accompany a mug of tea.

On Sunday I made a vanilla cake from a box mix.

Cinnamon Buns, with maple sugar instead of brown sugar in the filling. The smell of it rising and baking was incredible. And the taste . . . perfect!

On Wednesday, I baked Apple, Barley, and Olive Oil Bundt cakes. I used a 6-cup Nordic Ware Heart Bundt pan and a 3-cup Kaiser Bundt pan. I will freeze the small one for future desserts. I have loved this recipe ever since I first tried it five years ago. I was unsure about the olive oil, but Cass told me that olive oil goes well with apples, and he was, as always, correct. I put the heart-shaped cake on a heart shaped platter, because why not celebrate Valentine's Day throughout all of February?

I also baked orange Sesame Whole Wheat Muffins to take advantage of the zest of some Cara Cara oranges. (I will eat the oranges.) Some of the muffins are for breakfast over the next few days, and some are destined for the freezer.

Chocomouse, you have me hungry for cinnamon buns!

BA, that heart shaped cake is cute! I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks.

I made a batch of burger/sandwich buns this afternoon.

I baked two coffee cakes last night to take to the poker game tonight. One was for my sister-in-law one for the game.

Thanks, Len and Joan for the cake compliments! If anyone is looking for that heart pan, TJ Maxx online has it on sale. BTW, the grease worked beautifully to prevent sticking.

That is a wonderful looking coffee cake, Joan!

I made dough for Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers on Friday. I will bake the crackers sometime next week.

[Mike Nolan]

It came out of the pan very cleanly, too.

I was in the mood for oatmeal cookies, so I baked Soft Oatmeal Cookies with raisins and walnuts on Saturday.

[Joan Simpson]

I made the Deep Dark Fudgy Brownies from KAF to take to my friends tomorrow. I love them.
