It dose look like a Turkey
I guess it was a Turkey that didn't grow right

I have not made them but they look like they will be good-- especially for those that are gluten free.

Never heard of it, but since I'm GF, I'm interested...

Morning Home Bakers. Absolutely love the Microwave brownie!

Today I made another loaf of GF in the bread machine. I remembered the salt! Yay!

The saltless bread rose better. Or actually, the salted bread rose, then fell. I can't be sure this is due to the salt because yesterday, nobody was in the kitchen while it was rising/baking. Today, both hubby and I were in there, working on various cooking projects. So maybe the vibrations from the footsteps and the oven door closing had something to do with it.

I may leave the salt out again in the future, as a test.

Now I'm toasting slices of (dense!) GF bread in the oven to cut up for toast cubes. I plan to make the stuffing tomorrow afternoon. Then, aside from the turkey, the only other kitchen project is lemon meringue pie for hubby. I can do that Thursday morning.

I made cranberry for me today. I think the sweet potato un-pie can wait for another time. We'll have enough to eat, I'm sure, and I don't need any more sweet things.

3-minute microwave brownie

3 tbl sp flour ( the original recipe uses 4 tbl sp of flour, but adding nuts improves the flavor)
1 tbl sp almond flour
1 tbl sp brown sugar ( the original recipe calls for 4)
2 tbl sp cocoa
1 egg
3 tbl sp milk
Vanilla
3 tbl butter ( original recipe uses oil)
1 pinch of baking powder

Melt butter in a large microwave safe mug ( mine was about 450 ml)
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder
Add melted butter, egg and milk and stir until smooth
Pour dough into mug and microwave on high (1000 watt) for 3 minutes, attention, dough will rise about double ! Take out and enjoy hot! Adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream is also delicious.If it gets cold, it gets a kind of rubbery substance to it
If you are like me and don’t like chocolate brownies, don’t add cocoa but 1/2 grated peel of an organic orange, and substitute 2 tbl sp milk with orange juice, and 1/2 tbl sp extra flour
If you use whole spelt flour like me, you may need to add up to 3 tbl sp sparkling water ( I just added 1 extra tbl sp of liquid)
Just fyi, I used big table spoons
You can also add chocolate chips, I did with the first mug
If you use oil instead of butter, add a pinch of salt

THANK FOR POSTING RECIPIE.....it looks like something I WOULD LIKE...baking
for just me...this would be GREAT and QUICK and SIMPLE. Thanks again, Aria

I just finished making six dozen cookies for Thanksgiving.

Peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanutbutter
3/4th cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
3/4th cup rolled oats (I use quick oats)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips into a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine.
Stir in the chocolate chips. Form dough into balls (golf ball size)
Place on prepared pan and slightly flatten. (I like them a bit flatter so I flatten them to about 5/8th inch).
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Golden brown is the unbaked color so I go by how we like the texture and that's 9 minutes of baking instead of 10-12.

Note on the baking soda: The recipe says 1 tsp, I use 3/4th tsp because I can taste it if I use more.
