Challah Bread

So...remember the grilled cheese sandwich that I made for the Crazy Cooking Challenge???

Remember how I said that I made my own Challah bread for that Challenge???

Well today, I'm going to share with you the recipe for this fabulous bread!  It was super simple to make, so don't fret.

I found the recipe out of this book:

It's kind of an old school book but I use it every once and awhile when I'm looking to try something new in the baking department.

Instead of typing out the recipe, I figured it would be easier to scan it, and post it as a picture.  I actually followed the recipe, suprise, suprise.

Almond, Craisen, White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I've made a new cookie.  Or I should say that I've combined a new combination of flavors into my favorite cookie dough recipe.

Almond.  Craisens.  White Chocolate Chips.

Yummo!

There is something about Almond Extract.  The flavor is magical.

Strawberry Coffee Cake

Sunday mornings, I try to make breakfast...go a little bit fancy, giving cereal a break.  This past week, I suprised the kids & told them that we were having cake for breakfast.  They were excited!  They got even more excited when I told them that I had made Strawberry Cake for breakfast.

I don't know much about Coffee cakes, but I liked this one & the substitutions that I made.
