Tenuousness...

I figured I'd share a bunch of things I've baked over the year. It's just a snippet, really, as I've made loads of things, as well as the same things multiple times but with slight variations, such as different flavored scones, or different foccacia, biscuits, rolls, etc... I just thought it'd be fun to do a little round-up.

Bread pudding + homemade applesauce.

Cinnamon raisin bread.

Oat soda bread with sesame seeds.

Pumpkin bread.

Fig galette.

Dark chocolate confit with plums.

Thyme blackberry honey peach pie, from scratch, with fruit I got to pick during my birthday. :)

Wheat baguettes, from scratch.

Basic rustic bread from scratch.

English muffins from scratch.

Wheat foccacia with thyme, grapes and sugar. I've also made a sundried-tomato basil variation. Super tasty.

Soft cheese herb breads. Thyme and Parmesan and basil cheddar.

Ginger rhubarb crisp.

Thyme sable breton cake with chai poached plums.

Apple cardamom cake.

Bagels from scratch. Cinnamon sugar and everything.

Carrot cake.

Chocolate ginger chai scones with a ginger rhubarb compote. I've made this scone recipe with all kinds of variations this year. It's wonderful and they always come out well! Strawberry hazelnut, dried cherry almond, cocoa almond, lemon poppy-seed, etc.

I alone...

Home-made bread, egg whites, spinach, cranberry sauce, ricotta and apricot jam, cara cara orange and tea.

I made two different fillings for these, one with caramelized onion and a mustard sauce and the other with sauteed mushrooms and goat cheese. Sooo good, but so labor-intensive to cut the dough and fold them. I also made a dessert version with a poppy-seed filling.

Whole wheat cous cous, almonds, golden raisins, arugula, cooked onion. Coffee.

Homemade raspberry coconut bars.
