Spiced Dessert Bread

Advertisements

Nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon are your staple spices of fall into winter. These spices remind everyone of this crisp time of year. This bread was made to be more of a dessert than your standard bread, but it’s not so sweet you couldn’t enjoy it with a cup of coffee for breakfast. This bread stands alone as a sweet bread, or can be pair with a scoop of vanilla bean and some warm apple topping. This recipe makes one standard loaf, or 14-16 slices.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar

Advertisements

Giant chocolate chip cookie? Yes please! This recipe is delicious and super easy to make. Just mix, spread, and bake! My only advice for this recipe is to use a glass dish if you have it available. My textured pfaltzgraff dish, even though it was sprayed with lots of non stick spray, stuck very badly. If you don’t have glass, you could also line the dish with wax paper, just remove the cookie before it’s fully cooled to prevent the paper or the cookie from sticking. If you want thicker bars, you can also use a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking pan. This recipe makes 10 bars.

Meals Without Refrigeration

This weekend, Josh and I were looking at an end of season camping trip. As the weather was getting colder, we decided it was now or never for finally going on a summer trip. We chose not to, but I did lots of research, and below that I will have a list of refrigeration free meals and snacks. This is not only a good resource for future camping trips, but it’s a good idea to have some of these items in storage for the next possible natural disaster.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Aldis Brand Recipe Review

Advertisements

You can find the recipe here!

Time for another review you’ll see. This time I’m reviewing Aldi’s Chocolate chip cookie recipe. You can find this recipe up above at the link, down below, or on the side of Aldi’s baking soda or chocolate chips bags. As a plus, these did in fact turn out to be chocolate chip cookies. They tasted like chocolate chip cookies and were fully done, as per instruction. However, these cookies did spread a lot and the dough was very thin, and not a dough I would/could roll out by hand. There was a good proportion of chips to dough, and the cookies did have a lot of flavor. These cookies also didn’t have much, if any, structural integrity. You’d have to break the cookie before it would crumble apart, then you’d have to quickly eat it before it fell all over everything. This was the case even once the cookies cooled. It’s a good recipe, and it made delicious cookies, however, I think Betty Crocker’s cookie mixes may still be better. If you try this recipe, be sure to let me know what you think!

What You Will Need
  • 1 cup Softened Butter
  • 1/2 cups White Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
  • mixing bowl
  • electric mixer
  • spoon/cookie scoop
  • Baking sheets
  • Non-stick spray
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 375 F
  2. In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Add flour and chips, then mix until combined.
  3. Spray baking sheets, then scoop out dough and place on sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Let cool 5 minutes before trying to remove from tray.

Bread with Orange Blossom Honey

Bread is one of my favorite gifts to make for others, and this recipe has been a huge hit. If you don’t have honey, just simply substitute honey for 1/3 cup sugar. I like the honey recipes not only because I have a lot of honey, but because it’s healthier and adds a bit of a different flavor to the bread. Though the honey in more noticeable in bagels and rolls, you still get some of the flavor, and the bread isn’t as overall sweet as it would be with the sugar. I doubled the recipe and made 2 loaves at once.

  1. Mix together in a bowl, bloom 1 Tbsp active yeast in 1 cups warm water and 1 cups flour. Add 2 cups flour, 3 Tbsp Orange Blossom honey, and 2 Tbsp oil. Mix by hand or with a dough hook until dough comes together. Knead until elastic.
  2. Place in an oiled bowl, turn over, cover with a hand towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  3. Grease a 9×5 bread pan.
  4. Punch down the dough, kneed, and form into a loaf. Place in prepared pan, and let sit until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  5. About 10 minutes before bread has finished it’s second proof, turn oven to 350 F.
  6. Once risen, bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minute before serving
