Baking as Coping

I love to feed people.  I love finding new recipes and thinking, “Oh, I can’t wait to make this for Person X who will love it!”  I love mixing and forming breads and crackers, pies savory and sweet with music playing and me dancing in my kitchen.

It’s no surprise, then, that I spent time baking on both days this past weekend as L1 recovered from surgery.

First up, cheese sticks from Melissa of Tiny Happy.

Cheese Sticks

My notes on the recipe are with my pin for it on Pinterest.  Overall this is a SIMPLE, quick recipe and was a HUGE crowd pleaser.  Seriously.  I put the platter of them down in front of my family and they were gone in a flash.  They were especially good for a husband whose face was sore and couldn’t talk much.  His quick consumption of so many of them in quick succession was all the feedback I needed. :)

The second baking for the weekend was in the form of Jennifer’s Buckeye Muffins over at JCasa*handmade.  This was the fourth Sunday in a row I’ve made these for breakfast.  They are so good with morning tea.  A batch lasts us through Tuesday morning only because they are rationed.  This past weekend I brought them to L1 in bed and the kids joined us to eat theirs as well.

And tonight?  Tonight I have some of this bread in the works to go with soup for dinner.
