I made Snickerdoodle Bread. Found the recipe on Tasteofhome.com, but when I looked for it now to give a link, I can't find the recipe. It uses cinnamon chips and cinnamon. I've always baked bread in a lightly greased non-stick pan. This recipe stuck to the pan. It needs to go into a liberally greased pan. It's cooling, but because it stuck to the bottom of the pan, I've tasted it. As a cinnamon fan, I'm going to enjoy this bread. It definitely offers the lingering warmth of cinnamon.

Because of Food Network, I knew this.

After I started a pot of beef broth, I made Bouef Bourignon (sp?). The former is for the freezer. The latter is for tomorrow's dinner.

My husband is a big mango fan, so I knew this.

For breakfast, I make KAF Easy Holiday Eggnog Muffins using the eggnog I made a couple of days ago. They're delicious.

Joan, I hope you don't catch the illness.

Yesterday, I make Martha Stewart's Eggnog. I learned a strainer lesson. I used an old strainer for the liquid. I used a spatula to swirl the last of the eggnog. I ended up with tiny particles of egg in the nog. What this recipe needs is a modern fine mesh strainer, or one layer of cheese cloth lining an older strainer.

Day before, I made KAF English Muffin Toasting Bread. I used that today to make KAF French Toast, using my eggnog as the cream. I didn't use the sugar; there's sugar in the eggnog. I also didn't use the alcohol. Or, the butter for the skillet. I used light olive oil to coat the skillet. This made delicious french toast. With 3 eggs also in the batter, I've relegated this to special occasions. I ended up with 9 - 5/8" slices with the batter.

I had no idea, so I missed it.

I'm putting together New Year's Eve day breakfast. I made KAF English Muffin Toasting Bread. I didn't line the pan with cornmeal, because I don't like the mess when cornmeal or farina falls off onto the board. Tomorrow, I'll make Martha Stewart's Eggnog. Tuesday, I'll slice the Toasting Bread 5/8" thick and use the eggnog to make KAF French Toast. Unfortunately, I didn't think about the fact that my oven heats hot. I baked the bread for the minimum amount of time in the recipe. It's supposed to be golden brown. I ended up with brown. My husband says it looks like, "an old loaf of bread." That amuses me, because he's right. I hope it doesn't crumble when cut.

Missed it. I never buy the winner.

I don't drink coffee. I've seen food show hosts add espresso powder, espresso, or strong coffee to chocolate cakes. They claim that makes the chocolate more pronounced. I've never had a desire to make any of those recipes. My concern is that the coffee would add too much additional caffeine. I think chocolate has caffeine, and that's all I want.

I made blueberry pancakes for the freezer.

Missed it.
