Any Home Bakers Here?

I baked some Garlic bread.
I used 2 different flours to make dough. The white dough is regular All-purpose. The darker dough is Red Wheat whole grain.
I rolled out the dough after first rise,, into 8" x 16" rectangles. Dusted generous amount of Garlic Powder. Rolled up, which is what creates the interesting swirl pattern.
Placed into bread pans.
After a second rise,, I (whole egg) egg-washed,, and sprinkled with Italian Seasoning,,,
Onion Flakes, and
Rosemary and Herb seasonings. View attachment 4324918
Looks nice, and interesting,,,, and Delicious:drool:drool:drool

With my remaining white dough, I made Empanada/Calzone Hybrids.
Let me explain;
Filling is Taco meat, with Taco Blend Cheese.
Dough is yeast raised like I use for Calzones, and size is somewhat medium.
I also (whole egg) egg-washed these, and cut slits on top with scissors.

Note;
And I am aware that most of the regular participants here are familiar with the Nice Coppertone Tan result, when using a Egg wash which includes the yolk. (whole egg)

Just for giggles.
Nice bread!

So, had 8 chaotic days of family visiting for easter, 8 people to feed, no time for anything except grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up, my oldest son brought his youngest daughter, she had a bad cold and happily passed it around , my hubby hurt his meniscus and had to visit the ER, yesterday, he got an mri, I am very relieved he doesn’t have to have an operation 🙏🏻 usually, he walks the dog when I am busy and does the heavy lifting, I had to walk the dog and do the heavy lifting too 🤷🏻‍♀️ all while the house was filled to the gills with visitors 😓 my youngest son’s girlfriend also was here, she is vegetarian , so I had to cook extra for her too 🤪 anyway, yesterday, I tried to recover from the days before, today, I noticed we had too many „old“ eggs (1 week old) I only sell day fresh eggs, the ones in the store are way older, but since the eggs are homestead eggs, they want „fresh“ ones, so, today I baked a rhubarb streusel cake and banana spinach muffins, very tasty, with sd, I was hoping to put some in the freezer, but my family has other ideas , my oldest daughter begged me to save some for her, she will be visiting Sunday 😅
 
I made my first icebox cake. No sooner had I gotten a topping made (the gnash was a no go, I am out of chips!), and poured on, than I was informed the get together was canceled because the others went away for the weekend. Now I am tormented by this lovely cake in my refrigerator. Lovely. Delicious looking. Pudding filled. Sooo lovely … :drool
I am trying to leave it alone until Sunday evening or Monday afternoon.

Pictures or it never happened :idunno
 
<sigh> I took a picture. Now I am ashamed, and I need to hide the evidence.
I am not ashamed because I had to make a last second switch when I realized that I was out of chocolate chips. The frosting is a little bit tacky, but I’m not worried about that. It’s the fact that the cocoa powder should have been sifted. I saw it, and I ignored it. It wasn’t as obvious before it hardened.
