Knitter in the Kitchen

This recipe is from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours. I made it for the first time two summers ago, using an angel food cake pan because I didn’t even own a bundt pan. I remember two distinct things from that experience:
(1) The cake looked really, really ugly (probably because I used the incorrect pan). So I didn’t blog about it because it was extremely un-photogenic.
(2) My colleagues at work raved about it.

A couple of weeks ago I finally bought a bundt pan so I decided to try this cake again. It was good, but I think my favorite is still the recipe from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook. But I am sure I will find some other goodie for this pan!

A couple of months ago I made chili for the first time, and I wanted to find an accompanying cornbread recipe. Beth suggested Grandmother’s Buttermilk Cornbread from allrecipes.com, and Hubby said it was a winner!

I baked Pumpkin Bread the night before Thanksgiving using Elise’s recipe found here. It was delicious, and I’m looking forward to using my leftover canned pumpkin to bake another loaf.

shared with co-workers.  Intensely chocolate-y but the banana flavor still comes through. Recipe in Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Received my second Piddleloop small project pouch. If you are searching for a practical and stylish way to tote around your sock projects, look no further. These pouches are simply awesome.

Gifted with this lovely book by Joyce. So many enticing projects!

Started another sock. Hubby and I went to an NBA game and the sock made the time go by quickly!

Baked banana bread using the recipe from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook. This has become our all-time favorite banana bread. Even if it’s not low-fat.

Sewed two zippered pouches and a tissue holder. Both pouches are lined with fleece. Hubby is using his pouch to hold a saxophone mouthpiece, and I’m using mine for my iPod.

Hope you enjoyed a good weekend as well!
