          Baked some chocolate chip cookie bars today was good and stayed soft,called for 2 cups of chocolate chips and I used one and half cups and that was a little too much for me,baked in 9x13 pan.I found some seven grain cereal to use for some bread will be doing that soon.Not a lot of baking here cause it's so dang hot.

            I made another batch of cinnamon rolls and replaced the milk with buttermilk and you're right BakerAunt they are moist and more tender,also added left over mashed potatoes that was prepared with butter and sour cream.I made 2 9x13 pans so I had plenty to share with our aunt and sister who live near us.

              BakerAunt glad you're home and baking again.Let us know how the buttermilk is in the Vienna bread.I've made it a time or two and like it also.I'm thinking of replacing buttermilk for the whole milk to the next batch of cinnamon rolls.

                    I made 2 loaves of Rum soaked raisin and cinnamon bread from the Amish bread recipe and added in buttermilk for half the liquid-called for 2 cups water so I added one cup buttermilk,added an egg and some left over mashed potatoes.Turned out good and sturdy,didn't cave when it was turned out,very happy!

                      Sunday I cooked fried chicken,rice and gravy and dry lima beans and made a no bake Peanut Butter pie was very good and light.I didn't have a graham cracker crust but had graham crackers so I made my crust and put in 9x13 dish.The recipe said it made two pies but I did only 1 dish so good tastes like eating a candy bar or a nutty buddy ice cream.

                        I made an Apple Crisp Wednesday and it was good but a tad sweet to me,we had it with vanilla ice cream while it was warm.The topping was only flour,brown and white sugar and a stick of butter crumbled up and spread on top.My sister had a birthday today and her favorite cake is pound cake,so I made the Cream Cheese Cold Oven pound cake it was really good and so moist,that's my favorite too.

                          Cwcdesign zipper peas are just a small green field pea that is real easy to shell that's why they call them zipper peas and one of my favorites.Cooking some pink eye peas tonight with meatloaf and macaroni and cheese.Cleaned out the fridge yesterday and creamed 3 ears of corn,diced up some fresh tomatoes cooked with the corn then when that was done I added leftover speckled butter beans and zipper peas with okra let that cook slow and we had a good hearty small pot of thick vegetable soup.Bakeraunt that would be wonderful if we could do a taste test over the net πŸ™‚ I enjoy reading every ones posts here too!

                                I made Cinnamon bread for the first time in awhile it was the recipe from the KAF .I made it my own recipe as I used left over mashed potatoes about a half cup instead of flakes,used brown sugar instead of white in the bread,I did like you suggested Mike in soaking the raisins in some rum and poured rest of rum off raisins in batter,used half milk and half water in the with the brown sugar and yeast time I finished I had to put another half cup or more of flour in and I also put a tablespoon of cinnamon in the bread and added an egg.The recipe states to use a 8x4 but I had a good bit of dough so I went with 9x5.When it rose up and I kneaded it and put the cinnamon sugar flour mixture on it it looked really big so I divided in 2 pans 9x5.It rose up really nice to top of pan and when baked looked good.Let it set just a few minutes before turning out and I guess the weight made it sink,it's like 3 inches tall but I'm not complaining it tastes very good and moist.Gave one loaf to my sister and mine is half eaten already.Baked a chocolate cake Sunday my husbands favorite.
