I have a friend in my prenatal nutrition group who is moving, and tomorrow we are having a "unpacking the moving boxes party" and I thought it would be nice to have some baked goods that we could all enjoy while we chat and unpack, as well as a house warming gift. (Remember in my baby shower post how I mentioned that it's almost impossible for me to go to someones house without bringing something... or at least offering?)
I've already started on cookies. I've chosen Chocolate Kissed Gingerbread Cookies from: http://www.beckybakes.net/2010/12/10/chocolate-kissed-gingerbread-cookies/
And Admittedly, I was planning on making these for the Christmas holidays, but I never got around to. So, I'm testing them out now. I did add chunks of candied ginger, which the recipe doesn't call for, but I didn't realize before I did my Christmas baking shopping, that I lost my old gingerbread recipe THAT I LOVED. So, I have lots of candied ginger.
I'm also doing a variation on my favourite banana bread recipe, which I got in a baking recipe book as a gift almost 5 years ago. (William-Sonoma Essentials of Baking) BEST baking cook book EVER... seeing as how I don't have any nuts (which are optional in the recipe, and I don't know if anyone will be allergic to them at the unpacking party) or chocolate chips. I prefer the banana bread with chocolate chips instead of nuts.
But today? Instead of either, I'm going to try with cranberries. I'm still not too sure how it will turn out, but, I have some cranberries that I flash froze in my freezer just sitting there in the freezer bag. We'll give it a shot. I'll update to say how things went.
What are some of your all time favourite recipes? Have you tried any intesting variations with your favourite recipe?
