baking

I’d like you to go get your favorite bubbly, champagne would be best, but also prosecco or sparkling wine would work, pour yourself a glass, raise a toast to me, drink it and then think about how you could use the rest in a recipe.

Since this month’s theme was up to me, and “sweet breads” had already taken their turn, I decided to spice things up and have us all try our hand at Latin Bread / Pan Latino!

Family Recipes is an event hosted by myself and Laura of The Spiced Life and Lynda of Lynda's Recipe Box. Monthly we make a recipe that is a family recipe and talk about memories connected with it. Below is the "rules" of the event. The deadline date will change monthly however it will for the most part will be the last Saturday of the month at midnight when the submissions are due.

I'm blogging every day for the 10 days before Australia Day with a new recipe for Lamingtons - with a twist!

I'm very glad to announce the 4th edition of World Bread Day, that takes place on October 16th again. As the years before:

Let's bake and talk about bread on this day again! Anybody is cordially invited to participate.

The theme is open, just bake a bread with or without yeast, use sourdough, experiment with different flours, add some seeds... It's up to you!

Sugar High Friday is a monthly blogging event where people create a wonderful sugary treat based on a theme. Then we all go into a sugar coma on the last Friday of the month, when the roundup is posted.

This month's theme: Locavore treats (using great local products to create awesome treats!).
