Any Home Bakers Here?

I am a recipe collector! and have the family recipes on drop box.The blueberry pie recipe is a very good one! It is always a hit. I made it for Thanksgiving one year and have taken it to work.

You are so organized, I want to be like you when I grow up But alas, my DH is my excuse for disorganization at home .....at work I am quite organized and efficiency
You are so nice to share your baking with co-workers.

Those look great. Bet they taste wonderful too.

View attachment 1178941 My baking for today:

Starting from left, Sourdough honey spelt bread, Blue berry muffin and Walnut breakfast snack cookies.

The cookies did not go flat!

Awesome.

Ok, time for true confessions... I'm a better than average cook. When it comes to baking,well I need a lot of work.

You are too modest, I find baking easier than cooking. But really don't have a lot of luck with frosted cakes - they are hit or miss - and the misses are still tasty But pound cakes are so much more predictable.

Just curious. Most bakeries do use a preservative and I usually make a couple of loaves at a time and with just hubby and me, we can't eat both loaves in a couple of days. I also made some sub rolls.

You really should try freezing what you cannot eat fresh - bake, cool on a rack. Wrap in plastic wrap, cover that with aluminum foil, write what and when baked one each. I also then place in a zip lock type bag if small enough. If you use them within a month they taste like freshly baked - just take them out, defrost still wrapped... you can rewrap in new foil and heat in the oven if you want it warm.

Thats a lot of time, $$$ and work not to be able to enjoy......or just share with friends/neighbors )

Some things are really wonderful frozen. Our family really likes our Banana Fruit Bread frozen. Take out of the freezer, partially unwrap and cut a slice or slices off of the frozen bread (do not thaw) and rewrap the remaining bread and return it to the freezer. Eat the slice/s while still frozen.

Pumpkin roll is also excellent for eating frozen slices.

Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, what's cooking? I love to try new ideas but love the classics too! I like to see the different areas of the country traditions. Thanks!
