Im use to baking in my oven in the 80's I do it all the time and it has been in the 90's here. I do not get a day without cooking something. or baking something. dh loves oatmeal cookies and amish bread I spent last tuesday baking 8 loves of amish bread. he topped it off saturday so I had to get more starter going on the 10 day journey. Now cinnamon rolls is his favorite . If I bake them he can have a dozen gone in 2 hours so I don't bake them that often. Homemade chocolate cake with homemade icing will be gone over night. I can't eat the stuff (diabetic) but boy does my family love it. I am thinking about making them some peanut butter fudge today so maybe that will tide them over for a few days but I doubt it.

I use that frosting EVERY time I make cinnamon rolls. I wish they would last more than one day in this house but of course with 4 kids and a husband who eats like he is still 17...... sometimes I am lucky if I get even ONE of my own cookies!!!

I would LOVE to share my deadly chocolate cake with all of you....... so rich and chocolaty.......

I want to bake THIS next:

Pumpkin Pie Biscotti
Makes about 96

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup mashed canned pumpkin
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1-1/4 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl; stir well. In another bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla, stirring well with a wire whisk. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. (Mixture will be very crumbly; it will gradually become moist after stirring.) Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add macadamia nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until nuts are browned. Remove from heat and cool completely. Knead or gently stir cooled nuts into dough. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. Lightly flour hands and shape each portion into a 1 x 15" long log. Place logs 3" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 23 minutes; cool logs 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2" slices using a serrated knife. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.​

Ooo, I've tried this recipe (or one very similar to it) before and it was fantastic. I think I used pecans instead of macadamia nuts.

Mmmmm. I love biscotti!
