A host of delightful scents
There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh baked bread… there is just something wholesome and timeless about it. Add into that lovely scent the smell of roasted garlic and caramelized onions and you will know what my house smells like tonight.
It is amazing.
Once the garlic begins to dissapate I will be adding the uniquely delicious scents of dark chocolate brownies and pumpkin muffins… yes, home is a very good place to be right now!
Why all of the mouthwatering scents? Why all of the baking? Well, we are heading out to help feed a mini multitude of friends!
We are embarking on the largest camping trip in the history of our family… we usually take one, maybe two families with us, but this time it seemed to take on a life of its own.
Let’s just say it this way… we have a group site reserved. It holds up to 7 families… 50 people… and we have other sites reserved as well
So, back to the baking… I think I may just run out of flour again! I have a loaf of White Sandwich Bread, Wheat Sandwich Bread (the white with 1 cup of whole wheat flour substituted & maple syrup instead of honey… I ran out of that!), Sunday Dinner Rolls from What Geeks Eat (yes, go there, it’s AMAZING!!!), and a modified recipe for an Italian garlic, onion, herb bread (thus far I have added the garlic… we’ll see what else I do!). That’s the breads… after we slog through baking those, we will begin the Dark Chocolate Brownies (without the cherries this time – I ran out!) and Pumpkin Cookies/Scones. Yes, the house will be smelling good for a while. I hope the kitty enjoys it!
I just had to share while I am waiting for a batch of dough to rise… it was smelling too good not to!
Have a good one…

Doughmakers 14×17.5 Cookie Sheet
A couple of years ago, I picked up a set of Doughmakers baking pans. They have a “pebble” finish to them that helps in heat circulation and in food release. There is a raised lip around the edges that helps prevent them from warping, and the size is perfect for baking cookies!
This size is my favorite and most often used pan, as it fits my baking stone perfectly. I also use a silicone baking mat on it to further help with easy clean-up. I use it under my glass & corningware pans to provide a barrier between them & my baking stone, and it often gets left in the oven. I have been using it for over 2 years now, and it still looks like brand-new and works wonderfully!’
I highly recommend Doughmakers for cookie sheets!
