Sunday Sweets

After spending pretty much the entire day in the kitchen, I've had some hits and misses.  I'm not sure where the drive to bake and cook my day away  came from but it was quite fun.  Had I had more misses than hits, I'm sure I'd feel differently but it turned out pretty well.

Dish #1: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins: Yum!  My plan was to only make a few since it was just me but then I thought I'd make the whole recipe for breakfasts this week.  So glad I did, because they were delicious!

 

Dish #2: Honey Roasted Peanut Butter: Easiest recipe ever!  It was good but not nearly as sweet as I had hoped.  But definitely yummy!

Dish #3: Red Velvet Macarons from this book:  The second time was most definitely not the charm for these gosh darn treats.  I was worried about trying them the first time, and they worked out fairly well with just a few tweaks.  However this time, they weren't nearly as good.  They didn't look like macarons (as you can see, the "Red" velvet didn't go so well...), and they certainly didn't have the consistency of macarons.  But the filling was yummy.

Dish #4: Ham and Dumplings: The highlight of the day thanks to my chef of a dad. Yum Yum Yum!  The perfect meal for a cold and sometimes snowy day.
