Hello,

I came across this thread and wanted to join. I bake a LOT of things. One thing I specialize in as a hobby is making cheese. Saturday I made a wheel of Farmhouse Cheddar, it is aging now. It will be done when a friend of mine visits from Japan.

Hello,

@ronott1, Farmhouse Cheddar and Mozzarella are very easy. The Mozzarella recipe I use takes 30-45 minutes from start to eating. It is a fast, simple recipe. Farmhouse Cheddar is simple also. The first time I did it, I aged it in my refrigerator for two weeks, (its supposed to age for a month,) then realized I made a mistake. I peeled away the wax, and checked it, worried about the mistake. When I checked it, it tasted PHENOMENAL. Almost sharp!

Both are simple Recipes.

@wyoDreamer, Cannoli shells are easy to make. Here is a link to the recipe I use.

Anyway, I have to go teach a painting class at an old folks home now, so I will post more later.

I want to make another wheel next weekend. It takes a bit of time to do all the pressing for the one I made but so far it looks great!

Tried a new recipe this afternoon. One of DH's favorite store-bought treats are the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies (he probably only gets them about once a year ). I came across a copycat recipe the other day and they're good! Won't be buying any more of these (not even once a year).

MY OATMEAL CREME PIES

Cookie:
1 1/4 C softened unsalted butter
1 C brown sugar, packed
1/2 C granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tab dark molasses
1 1/2 C AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
3 C uncooked quick-cooking oats

Creme Filling:
3/4 C softened unsalted butter
3 C powdered sugar
3 Tab heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Cookies:
1. With a stand or handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugars together util light and creamy. Add egg, vanilla and molasses. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Whisk it up. Add the quick oats and combine.
3. Pre-heat oven to 375*.
4. With the mixer running on slow, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. The dough will be thick.
5. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a large (3 Tab) cookie scoop, drop dough balls on the baking sheets, leaving balls at least 2" apart because they will spread. (I could only got 6 cookies per baking sheet without them spreading together)
6. Bake for 10 minutes, until cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling:
1. With a stand or handheld mixer, beat butter for about 1 minute until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Mix on high for 3-4 minutes. The filling will be thick.
2. Spread about 1 1/2 Tab of cream filling on the bottom side of half the cookies, top with remaining cookies right side up.

Note 1: These are BIG, next time I'll make them smaller. Using my large cookie scoop, I ended up with 9 huge oatmeal creme pies.
Note 2: You definitely want to use some sort of mixer for this recipe...both the cookie dough and the filling are thick.
