Tonight I took a recipe my mom had for date oat bars and made a whole bunch of substitutions and tweaks to make a cranberry oat crumble that is dairy-free and gluten-free. It's delicious 
I have a lot of fun doing this sort of recipe tinkering. I keep a kitchen lab notebook for the recipes I create or modify. My spouse suggested that I show it to my chemistry students. I use a lot of the same habits
B is for Bread
or...
C is for Challah 
Here is my recipe:

I get a kick out of this "budget meal hack" trending hashtag on #scoopz at the moment.
It's always WAY over complicated, and made with processed food, and not actually budget because it costs like 3+ dollars a meal.
If you actually learn how to #cook #baking use staples/seasoning, and plan ahead, THAT is the real budget meal hack.
Don't say you need money. I do this on #disability
The economy is crashing. You should learn now, it'll save ya later.
Whenever I manage to make a pie that doesn't gloop out all over the plate I feel like I just won the Bake Off.
Happy Pi Day!
Dinner is served.
Chicken leek and mushroom pie, with my no fail pie crust.
I just have to give a big shout-out to Mannheim-based Anna Fronek who just makes the BEST vegan cake recipes! She's a geniuuuus 
(recipes are only available in German, but I'll gladly translate for you if you want!) - check her recipes out https://www.annafronek.de
(she's also a really funny and kind person and a fellow antifascist)
I just made her carrot pecan cheesecake creation and I love it so so much, wish I could share with everyone! 
I did stress-baking yesterday and it was an epic fail. It made the house filled with smoke. I ended up feeling even more stressed than before. The spousal unit took me out to get (gluten free) poutine for dinner as a consolation so that was nice. Poutine is a comfort food.
Anyway, the epic baking fail was because I thought it would be a great idea to change the composition of my own tried and true, gluten free flour mix. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I tried again this morning with the original flour composition (equal part of glutinous rice flour, regular rice flour, tapioca starch and corn starch) and it was, once again, a great success. I got myself a lovely, vanilla loaf cake and learned myself a valuable lesson.
Hi #baking folks, what's your favorite #vegan replacement for egg yolks in cookies, specifically just the yolks. Even searching Kagi is turning up no conclusive information. Recipe calls solely for yolks, no whole eggs. Isn't critical, but would love to try. #askfedi
EDIT: Thank you for input, but I have ready substitutions for *whole* egg. I explicitly need *yolk*. 99% of blog posts that say 'yolk' proceed to regurgitate the same info for whole eggs instead. But I'm still glad to get confirmation on others for whole egg!
Celebration brownies! This time, it's a dual-celebration: I turned in the edits for Enchanting the Fae Queen, and my teenager achieved a massive milestone of his own.
Victory tastes DELICIOUS. ;)
(And thanks SO MUCH to everyone here who answered my cry for help about the missing baking paper!)
Ugh, I was right about to line my brownie tray with baking (parchment) paper when I realized we're out. Fellow bakers: would you just grease the tray or would you substitute aluminum foil for the baking paper?
Some cooking today.
Another batch of cocktail cherries -- made from last year's sour cherries. We got a huge harvest last year. And you can only eat so many pies!
And some bolillos. Pambazos and tortas in our near future.
Anyone have any leads on a retailer of acorn flour in Canada? Like, we have so many oak trees, and I know it was a traditional ingredient for people here. It seems kinda bonkers that the only non-American retailer that I can find is Turkish.

What to do when you have leftover lemons and aging blueberries?
It turns out you bake glazed lemon blueberry bread.
We were going to need snacks for our sign making session anyway.
A new recipe for me but I am happy with the end result.
Moist and not too sweet.
Summer was watching me bake and looked interested for a few minutes. Obviously the interest gave way to a nap.

Stopped by our local mill to pick up some more flour.
They source from local small scale farmers, all organic, mostly heirloom varieties.
They always ask me what I'm baking.
"Oh, you know, everything we eat. Bread ...<waves at the rest>"
They're great.
I was a little indisposed Thursday night, but I baked this orange blossom honey almond yogurt cake and absolutely loved it! Would play more with spicing and the like next time to tweak slightly, or maybe do something with apricots for filling or even a blend!
In honor of St David's Day, I decided to make my first-ever attempt at homemade Welsh cakes, using this recipe: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGlYZeKt3s3/
And the results were very, very yummy!

Freezing some Doubletree Hilton cookies for a rainy day :D Apparently they released the original recipe a few years ago.
Chocolate, oat and walnut.
I really love my souper cubes.
