Just Baking

I was browsing my all-time favorite site of trusted recipes, Allrecipes. I came across this homemade pizza crust and sauce. They both had such great reviews, I knew they must be good. Then I saw the buffalo chicken pizza on another food blog, and was reminded of the yummy one that Pizza Hut used to make. […]

I’ve had this bookmarked and decided to whip these up. Smitten Kitchen made hers as Whole Wheat Apple Muffins, but I made ours as whole wheat banana crumb muffins. Here are the ingredients I used.

1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

I love fall. The cooler weather, the leaves turning colors, soups and stews and just getting ready for all the holiday baking that’s to come. I mark these muffins as my first recipe of the fall season. I love pumpkin anything, so when I came across these, I decided I’d share them with you. The flavor reminds […]

Looking for a healthier muffin to bake, I opted for some sort of a bran muffin. I came across a few I wanted to try, but didn’t have all the ingredients on hand. I did have some bananas that needed to be used, so these were perfect! I liked the fact that these had diced bananas […]

These are a simple classic oatmeal cookie. They are soft and chewy and stay that was for a few days, that is if you can make them last!

What a great back to school treat either for the lunch box or after a hard day in class. Maybe even a late-night snack with a cold glass of milk. However you enjoy these chocolate chip cookies, you’ll love how soft they are.
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup […]

I fell in love with this recipe; I really like the chicken and Swiss in it. My favorite way to eat it is cold the next day for lunch.

Who can resist chocolate chip cookies? For these I used some leftover plain M&Ms and other chopped up chocolate. I really enjoyed the flavor of these cookies but was sad that they came out so flat. Although I love a puffier cookie, the flavor wins overall, so I’m sharing these with you.
