So about a month ago, someone at work gave me a bag of starter for Amish Friendship bread. I've done three batches so far, having fun with variations and tossing different things in there. I had the idea a few days ago of using the next batch to make a chocolate version. I'm not entirely sure this will work, but I figure someone here has to have tried it at least once. In case you haven't ...

Mmm, Cheesecake.... I love cheesecake. So when I finally joined the Daring Bakers and was eligible for the April Challenge, imagine my delight to find that the challenge recipe was cheesecake. I haven't made cheesecake in quite sometime. This would be fun! Of course, first I had to come up with a flavor for the cheesecake, or as it turned out, cheesecakeS. Yes, I never do things the ...
The Recipe is mainly from experiments I've mad ein my kitchen this morning. I'll probably be adding to it or rearranging it as time goes on. I most likely will be trying to contact my mom about her original blinz pancake recipe to flesh some of this out and to get away from the pre-package stuff. I started out with bisquick mix, and followed the pancake/waffle recipe. 2 cups mix 2 large eggs 1.5...
12 eggs 1 teaspoon baking soda Place eggs in large pot. Add water to cover by two inches. Add baking soda. Bring water to boil and boil for 12 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and cool with cold water and ice. Once cool, peel. *** A while ago, someone made a post to cooking and linked to this youtube video .

If YOU want to bake one of these tasty treats, here's the recipe! 24 vanilla sandwich cookies, crushed 4 tbsp. melted ...
I thought I would do a spice cake for this month's theme, but since the selection of cake mixes is pretty slim where I live I ended up buying a Betty Crocker carrot cake mix. It calls for 3 eggs, water and oil, but I subbed in pumpkin and a bit of milk for the liquid, and added a pinch of extra spice. It came out moist and sproingy, and very tasty... Almost as good as scratch. ;) I think the...
