It has been awhile since I have baked for an entire day, or atleast a good part of it. Earlier this week I decided that I was overdue, so I planned a Baking Day for today. Crystal, has been baking up a storm this week in preperation for baby #3 and blogged through it, so I decided to blog through mine as well.
As the day progresses I will update my post with my progress. Unfortunately, since I still cannot figure out why my computer won’t recognize my camera–there won’t be any pictures. You’ll have to use your imagination!
Here is my “To-Accomplish” List
- Chocolate Chip Cookies for next weeks snacks. I’m going to try out this recipe instead of ol’ trusty.
- Try not to eat all of the cookie batter! It’s my weakness.
French Bread Baguettes for DH’s sandwiches. (same recipe, different method. I hope to share my “new” way later.) They are all shaped, and are working on their second rise.DONE!Oat Bran Bread. It’s on it’s second rise. This is a new one to me–and I just don’t know about it….**It’s done–and it is not so good! Any ideas on how to salvage it?Granola Bars.Finished and bagged up!Chocolate Zuchinni Cake (Thanks for the reminder, Jessica!) In the oven, and I just remembered I forgot to add the butter! Hope it turns out!DONE! And delish! Since I’ve single handedly eaten almost half of it, I froze the rest of it in 2 seperate portions.
Cheese Crackers. I was going to experiment and come up with a recipe, but Laura took out all the guess work for me.DONE!- Clean up the kitchen.
- Freeze half of the Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Let Noah help me. This is always a hard one for me, as I mentioned here.It was SO much fun having him in the kitchen!- Have Fun! Of course!
Find a snippet of time to do a load of laundry.Getting ready to start load #3!Start dinner by 4:30pm.Well, 4:45–close enough.
Time to get cracking!

I’m right there with you on staying out of the cookie batter! Happy baking!
I think I eat more cookie batter than actual cookies. Your post is inspiring. You are do so much today. I think I’ll spend some time in the kitchen today too.
Wow. You go girl! It’s always so nice when you have a baking day and can get some stuff put away in the freezer.
I don’t do that alot but when I do I like to have an extra casserole or two in there for busy days! Also like to bake and freeze cookies.
Hmm, I might just have to try that cheese cracker recipe! I’ve been on the lookout for homemade cruncy/salty snacks that I can make to help cut down the “chips” expense, this one might just accomplish that!
I have been afraid to try baking bread. Lately i have been wanting to try it but I just haven’t had the opportunity. What is your favorite easy bread recipe?
Wow, you’ve been busy! HOw about using that bread for making croutons or bread crumbs?
That’s so funny you just posted about this today! It’s giving me extra inspiration, because just this morning I was standing in my kitchen thinking that I would like to take a whole day and just bake up stuff (breads, muffins, cookies, etc.) to freeze and have on hand!
Now i’ll have to check out some of your recipes:)
I have a baking day coming up pretty soon and I am certainly going to try the cheesy crackers!! Can you freeze them?
Looks like you got lots of great stuff made. I need to do more of that.
Those french baguettes look delicious! I am going to try to make them next week. I planned on making your granola bar recipe but didn’t have time this week, so I will try again next week!
