A quick rehash of this season's holiday cooking: because I've been a negligent blogger.
My last Thanksgiving treat - leftover cranberry sauce bread. I view such recipes as a reason to make extra cranberry sauce, not get rid of it!
I also made the standards: cinnamon rolls, pecan pie...
apple pie...
and pumpkin pie, not pictured this time around.
My main Christmas baking this December was gingerbread men. Lots of gingerbread men:
But for the holiday dinner, I made up a three layer cake from this recipe - a caramelized apple spice cake with brown sugar swiss meringue buttercream:
The finished dessert (and yes, that is a pie in the background as well)!

Gingerbread Waffles
In December, my friend Cherie hosted a Chaos Cooking event. The idea is that everyone comes bearing ingredients, and cooks. It's kind of a demented potluck.
Since Cherie owns a waffle iron, I decided to make peanut butter waffles, with grape jelly and bananas to top:
I was inspired, and asked for a waffle iron as a holiday gift:
For my first homemade waffles, I decided to keep the holiday going and make this recipe for gingerbread waffles.
Waffles are very similar to a quickbread recipe - wet ingredients (butter or other fat, eggs, milk or other liquid, andin this case, some molasses) added to dry ingredients (flour, leavening, spices):
Ready to go:
The leftovers, ready to make like Eggo and go in the freezer for weekday breakfast!

Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
I tried a new sandwich bread recipe, involving a loaf that I was not to knead, really, but stir vigorously, and knead a little bit. Here's that dough:
Risen a bit:
And then it went into the fridge for a day, and got giant!
The resulting light, fluffy, 100% wheat loaf was delicious...even though I didn't grease my pans well:

Cracked Wheat Bread
Back to some bread, especially since I haven't posted in a while!
Bulgar. The base for this cracked wheat bread published by the NY Times:
Do not be fooled - this recipe is...more complicated that the much more famous "minimalist" loaf!
It involved a sponge, a dough, lots of rising...
More rising...
And when all was said and done, I probably need to make it again to get my loaves a bit lighter. But the flavor of this one is amazing, and worth another baking!
