I have a lot of events coming up in the next few weeks and I've volunteered to bake treats for several of these events, which has led me straight to Pinterest to find some new recipes to try out! I have a few tried and true recipes that I know I can always fall back on, like PW's Monster Cookies, but I am kind of in the mood to try something different!
Here are a few of the recipes I've pinned for the next few weeks. I haven't decided which of the cookies I'm going to make, so if you have votes, let me know!
My family is coming into town to visit this weekend and I'm thinking about whipping up this French Toast bake for breakfast one morning while they are in town. I think it sounds heavenly, what do you think?
And D is a big eggplant fan, so when I turned on the Food Network today during nap time and Giada was making this recipe, I knew it had to go on my list of things to make sometime soon!
And finally, D's battalion is having a Halloween Trunk or Treat event next week and we're planning to have a "Cake Walk" at the event. I volunteered to bake a cake, and this is the recipe I found. I think it looks super cool, and it is basically a red velvet cake, but using black food coloring instead of red, so its super spooky!
So there you have it, folks! I've obviously been drooling over sweets lately, which could be disastrous to my already ever expanding waistline! Hopefully I can concentrate my efforts on baking and not eating all these goodies! What have you been pinning lately?
I had a black cake once and it turned my mouth hilariously black! Those lemon cookies look really good and so does the eggplant pesto pasta. Z and I have been on a pesto kick lately, so maybe this will be a nice change up!
ReplyDeleteYes, the girl who blogged the recipe said that you should be warned that the cake will make your mouth black. But since I'm not going to be the one eating it, I don't really care! ;)
