We have had a very productive weekend. Yesterday, Jolly and I had a baking party! Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but I assure you, there were lots of delicious treats. Jolly ended up making peanut butter oreo cheesecakes. They were definitely decadent treats! I made pumpkin spice cookies, which were cakey and moist… delish!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (plain)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
- 1 cup golden raisins
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Mix pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and molasses in a separate bowl until combined.
- Stir the wet ingredients and raisins into the dry ingredients, making sure that none of the dry ingredients remain.
- Drop tablespoons of batter onto a cookie sheet 1.5 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until they are firm to the touch and lightly golden on the top, about 10-12 minutes. Place them on a wire rack and let cool.
I’m going to bring these to work tomorrow, and I bet they’ll go fast!
After a long day of cleaning, shredding, and vacuuming, Chris and I decided to cook up the filet mignons that my grandmother sent to us. Let me tell you, we were excited to see these lovelies in the mail!
Chris put a little bit of Worcestershire sauce and stir fry sauceĀ on the filet, and grilled them to perfection. Really, he can cook a mean steak.
Add a dollop of cheddar mashed potatoes and a side of green beans, and you’ve got yourself a dinner!
