What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

I was in the mood for something sweet, but low on energy. I had a tube of crescent rolls and some semi-sweet chocolate chips, so I rolled up chocolate chips in the dough and made a sort of chocolate croissant. They turned out pretty good, and were just sweet enough to get rid of the craving.

Chili in crock pot, cornbread in the oven!

I didn’t bake but made one of my favorite snacks, vanilla oranges. It’s like eating a creamsicle.

Ought to be tasty. Y'all got snow yesterday, didn't you? Try a little of this on your chili.

We are on the ocean…no snow accumulation, turned to rain and plenty of wind. Roads/sidewalks all clear!

We still "snowbound," with icy streets. Sunshine this morning and should be above freezing late this morning.

I made Texas chili on Sunday or Monday (chuck steak on sale!) but no cornbread . Only one in the house and decided to bypass the carbs. Froze the chili for another day or so.

I can’t get over the fact that you get icy streets EVER!!

I admit that cornbread Is just as important to me as the chili!

@bobbiwoz I agree just my thighs have been sniggering at me of late, sigh

Happy to share. It’s super easy.

I make a simple syrup (2 cups water 1/12 cups sugar)
Let simple syrup cool
Cut up oranges
Cut two vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape the seeds
Mix the seeds with the simple syrup
Place oranges and pods in a bowl, cover with syrup
I let them sit overnight to work their magic

I get the vanilla beans at Costco. It is like $17 for 10, in case you have a Costco near you.

Understood.

Tried out my new corer and mandoline shield to make cinnamon apple chips. I got impatient ... half burned and half were more like dried apples vs. crisps. I may try again this weekend.

I may try again this weekend.

“…If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again…”
Go for it!

Persimmon bread (James Beard's recipe). Had a ton of very, very ripe persimmons to use up and found this recipe via David Lebovitz. Used less bourbon, added cardamon, and sprinkled the tops of the loaves with nuts and sugar. In the oven now and the house smells great.
