Sweet Melissa's Fallen Chocolate Souffle

A recipe from the book Meagan Nui Jai gave to me. Super yummy and surprisingly, super easy to make. Only required 6 ingredients !!! May, Ben and I each had two pieces at one sitting = )

Savory Sweet Melissa

For lunch today I made savory muffins from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book (courtesy of Meagan !) The variation I chose was sun dried tomato, mozarella & oregano. Also for lunch I continued the Italian theme and made spaghetti squash with veggies in tomato sauce. Both were yummy. I kind of over baked the muffins so they were a little dry. I kind of made too much sauce for the spaghetti squash. Therefore the only solution I saw was to dip the savory muffin into the tomato sauce which was super yummy.

Brown & Green Amish Friendship Bread

HAVE NO FEAR MEAGAN !!!

I figured out how to get the "graduation" cake = )

Somehow, when I combine the Amish Friendship recipe with banana, the bottom turns kind of green. This is my third attempt and all three times the bottom has been green. When I do not use banana it is all one colour, boring.

Banana Almond Butter Yeast Rolls

Well, I was going to take a picture because they looked really cute. Instead of the 12 rolls it was supposed to make, I rolled the dough along the long edge making 24 rolls. However my camera was out of batteries. By the time the batteries were charged, all the rolls had disappeared. Half into my stomach the other half I traded for some home grown zucchini and tomaotes. Maybe next time I will be able to wait until the batteries charge. I doubt it though. I cannot resist warm bread that has just come out of the oven.

So this was attempt #2 at the yeast apple cinnamon rolls. I did two things differently. This time I started at 9:30pm and let the rolls have a "cool rise" overnight. The second thing was that I used probably 1/2c more sugar and 1/2c less flour. Still used the same old yeast that expried in 2007 = )The results were much better this time. Not (as) sour !!!
