I came out of hiding to help spread the word on this beautiful new cookbook. I have sort of been on a hiatus these days. There is just honestly not enough time in the day now that I am back to work full time and have the two babes. Well I guess there is time but I just don't always want to spend it baking, photographing and writing. What do I do instead... well some nights I clean (not because I want too), I have been knitting myself a cowl very slowly, I work out 5-6 days a week, and then sometimes I just want to sit on the couch and watch tv. Weekends are full of holidays, birthdays and random events to keep kids busy. And so is life.... but I would rather share with you recipes once a month that pump out garbage every day.
I made several recipes from the book. I made the Chocolate Chip Cookies, the Squirrel Pie, the Pumpkin Loaf and the lemon loaf. The cookies are a great oaty chocolate chip cookie, the coconut in them is an awesome addition. Everyone loved that part. The squirrel pie was for my Hubby's birthday. I tweaked the recipe a touch because it called to be in a 7 inch spring form pan which I have never seen so I multiplied the crust by 1.5 and put it in a 9 inch pan. It was devoured at a family birthday dinner. The pumpkin loaf I made with gluten free flour so a friend could eat it and it also turned out quite good considering I tweaked the flour which can be very iffy in recipes sometimes.
The final recipe I made was the lemon loaf. Rosie says this recipe is the best seller at her bakery. I can see why. I opted out of the lemon glaze on top and it was still wonderful. It's light and tart and I really enjoyed it.
