Treats for appetites of every size
I had a really hard time deciding what to bake this weekend. I was home in Massachusetts with my parents, who are currently in the the process of selling the house I grew up in, and when I have the whole kitchen at my disposal I always feel like I need to make something extra special. Also, when I bake at their house, I know that I won’t have to bring the treats home with me, so there is little danger that I will eat them all. This also makes me want to bake more extravagant things.
It is impossible to say exactly how awesome it was to go home to Massachusetts this weekend. I spent four whole days with my family for Thanksgiving break, and I am already looking forward to going back for Christmas. Unfortunately, I was so caught up in the awesomeness of being home that I forgot to photograph while I was baking things for Thanksgiving. I made Pull Aparts successfully for the first time ever (a yeast recipe very similar to monkey bread) but alas, I have no proof for you. I also made some pretty delicious brickle from a Serious Eats recipe, …
November really is an awesome month to be a teacher. I’m currently enjoying a long weekend due to the Teacher’s Convention, which I am spending in Philadelphia with my boyfriend. However, I did bake before I left for Philly, mostly so that I could use lots of butter that said boyfriend wouldn’t want in treats baked for him. I’ve also been on a huge blondie kick recently, which is strange because I love chocolate and they are basically brownies without chocolate, but I decided to go with it. And thus I bring you: Chocolate Swirl Blondies.
I know, I know, it’s Monday, not Sunday. And you all thought I forgot you. Yesterday I ran a half marathon. So while I did bake, I was a little bit too exhausted to think about uploading pictures and typing a post. But not to worry, I’m here, on a Monday, to tell you all about Oh Henry Bars!
