This is a blog of items I have baked, including recipes from the many cookbooks I own, my own created recipes, and recipes from other sources. I will write about what I have made and post a picture along with it! During stretches when I go without baking, I will write a brief article about some aspect of cooking, baking, ingredients, or preparation techniques.

April Fools!
To celebrate April Fools' Day today, I made nachos! These aren't just any nachos though, they are dessert nachos! I made a very simple batch of cookie dough, using just butter, brown sugar, honey, and all-purpose flour. Then I spread the dough out thinly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I baked it at 350◦F for 8 minutes, just until the cookies were golden and set. When cool, I cut them into triangles and other irregular-shaped "nachos". I spread the nachos out on a plate and drizzled them with green icing. Then I sprinkled them with toasted coconut (grated cheese), and red and green candy-coated chocolates for chopped red and green peppers (or green peppers and tomato). This might have looked more realistic if the candies were more square-shaped then round, but oh well. I don't think anyone was really fooled anyway, although the nachos did look cute. Happy April Fools' Day!
