Baking Wonderful Things

I got a wonderful new cookbook from my sister for my birthday. It's call Whitewater Cooks by Shelley Adams. It has so many wonderful recipes. So far I have made samosas. Which turn out delicious, they did take awhile to make but it was well worth it. Finding good samosas is hard then you think and these ones you bake so they aren't oily. I made a double batch and put them in the freezer, so I just take them out and bake some in the oven whenever I want some. I also made some mango chutney to go with them, the recipe was so-so but I'm not a huge fan of mangos so that's most likely why.

Another day I made the recipe for cinnamonbuns for the same cookbook, that had raisins and pecans. Yummy! I also have been baking a lot of scones one of my favorite recipes I found a few years ago, so quick and easy. I put cinnamon and apples in them. They are great for breakfast or a quick snack.

Cinnamon Buns: hot out of the oven!

So I disappear for awhile. But have come out and am ready for the year 2010! The New Years kicked off with my favorite person and we had my favorite food, sushi! So it's going to be a good year. This year is out with the junk and old and starting fresh. I've been getting rid of a bunch of junk and finishing up projects that have been put to the side. My old junk has gone to new homes of friends or has been donated. It feels good to have less stuff. Even if I see everything as a possible project. But one can only get so much done!
