BREAD!!!!

I love making bread, I learnt in Pathfinders and I can never have enough. I found this quick recipe and must try it! I was even more intrigued because it uses club soda so let's see how it turn out...

The bread was pretty cool...the inside was moist but I cut is pretty warm so we'll see how it is in the morning. :D

Delish Dinner rolls...

Who would have thought it could be so easy to make these things! I thought that yeast hated whole wheat flour until now. I have had such bad luck with it that I had all but given up on it. I started the recipe and didn't see until too late that the recipe called for 9-10 cups of flour! I kneaded the flour and left it there for a good while and when I came back it had spilled over! I had to throw away a huge handful of dough! :(

I divided up the rest of the dough as stated in the recipe http://www.howdoesshe.com/delicious-dinner-rolls and wrapped up two sections to be frozen. I rolled out the other two, cut and rolled them as shown below then I went to the gym for a couple of hours...



 Before we went to the pool...there are spaces....

 Chilling with the kiddies...no that's not me...


 Now we got 2 trays filled with fat dough!

After they spend a little time in the oven and butter is rubbed over them...as you can see one is already missing! ;) 

They are best served warm. Enjoy!

Pineapple up-sidedown cake

Came across this recipe on pinterest...as usual...but my Mom would usually make this for our birthdays in Jamaica, so this is an old favourite of mine. I followed the recipe from the following website:

 Mixing the sugar and the melted butter....
Adding the pineapple and cherries...

 The cherries stained my fingers...I don't even want to know what is in them!

 The pre-baking stage..

 Check out that layer of sweetness!

End product! Sweetness!

Sally likes her stuff sweet so I would recommend only using 1/4 C of sugar because it is REALLY sweet. I did the normal energ egg replacer substitute and it was ready in about 40 mins with our unpredictable oven...Enjoy!
