Oh dear lord, that sounds amazing. How much parmesan in the phyllo? Just a little shaving?

I just grate it over the inside and over the asparagus..I don't measure I just grate it on til I like how it looks.
Brush the asparagus tips with butter when done and ready to serve.

Wow! Those scones look great!

I am baking fresh bread with dinner and an apple strudel for dessert. Yum. I can't wait for dessert!

Thank you. It's all because of the Nordic Ware pan. I'd be happy to trade some of my scones (well, that's if there were any left) for a few slices of your bread.

Made French macarons. I wasn't very successful this time although I didn't mind disposing of them They still tasted very good!

Jet, your bread looks wonderful. Can you share the recipe.
I'm baking an apple pie - but it is just one from the freezer - no recipe.

It's just my take on the master recipe from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. I disagree with the main premise of the book, that their dough keeps well in the refrigerator, so I make and bake mine immediately.

Here are the ingredients:

• 354g warm water
• 8g yeast
• 10g kosher salt
• 390g flour (about 90 whole wheat, the rest all-purpose)

I'm not sure about posting my instructions, since they follow the book so closely. I make sure and heavily coat the non-stick pan (9 1/4 x 5 1/4) with cooking spray and flour, because this dough sticks something fierce. I slash the top with a serrated knife because it works better than the sharpest non-serrated blade (even a new razor blade).

Going to be making buttermilk biscuits as soon as the over finishes heating.

[babetoo]

have we all given up on baking? lets each bake something tomorrow and surprise each other. i'll do brownies. or maybe a different kinda cake. go for it!!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

That sounds like a WAY better idea than grocery shopping! Now I have to decide between one bakery item and a week's worth of food.

I baked some salmon...since DH's getting a diabetes diagnosis, it's slowed down my baking considerably...I'm trying really hard not to tempt him. DH was the dessert eater, I'm happy with beef jerky or corned beef.

 

[JamesS]

I have a nice big batch (one and a half dozen) of orange cranberry walnut muffins in the oven right now.

I'm in the mood to argue muffin vs cupcake with my mother and fiance this morning.

I was going to make a pumpkin pie because I've had a taste for it. Just as I was ready to pull ingredients out DH called - got out of "Dodge" early and wanted to know if I wanted to go out to dinner. Bu-bye pie! Maybe next week....

 

[babetoo]

just finished roasted garlic for garlic bread with spaghetti, bread is rising. brownies are next, everything coming to room temp. but will have to wait for my nap, lol

spatchcock chicken---will let you know how it turns out......the prep method (cutting out the backbone and flattening the chicken by applying pressure from the breast side) was an absolute disaster.......let's just say that I broke a pair of kitchen shears and managed to create "offal--akin to awful" spatterings on my wall........

 

[JamesS]

It's rainy and miserable out, and I'm having motivational issues today. If I can get myself out of this chair and into the kitchen, I'm planning to make some butter rolls for dinner and maybe some asparagus puffs to freeze until Easter.

Made my usual Sunday cinnamon rolls (which I put in the freezer before baking and sell to a local coffee shop), but saved out three for our breakfast (we had a friend over). Expat girl, let us know how the spatchcock chicken turns out. I tried it a few months ago and wasn't impressed - it dried out pretty fast while cooking.

the spatchcock chicken tonight was delicious, MK, despite the horrible prep butchering job....I guess I never would have been a neurosurgeon.....had I had decent kitchen shears (as in sharp) I might not have had such a colorful poultrified wallpaper and a mutilated pair of shears.......rescued by a sharp knife and unmentionable language it was marinated overnight in a bottled South African peri peri sauce (deliciously spicy) lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and mixed herbs and baked covered for 45 minutes and then uncovered for the last 15 minutes.....it yielded delicious drippings......if I hadn't been so lazy I would have made a sauce out of them.... I wished that we had had your cinnamon bons for dessert...they sounded wonderful like all of everyone's posted recipes..........

Rolls made from dough prepared yesterday based on the 5-minute-a-day pretzel dough recipe.
