OMG.. i drooled on the keyboard!

[Sharon]

Yeah, I tried to find all the pies and applique patterns, but gave up. It was hard and I finally figured out it was the same pie shapes in differnt colors. HA! I can do cloth pies, just not the real thing.

It's not pie but it is baking ... I posted on my blog about our family's favorite coffee cake. Is this receipe similiar to your's Pat?

Pat, I didn't realize that you would also like to make yeast breads. I have a couple books that I really like, one it particular is:  Ultimate Bread by Eric Treuille.  It has all kinds of yeast breads:  Bagels, Filled Focaccia, stramboli, Nan, Pita, tortillas.  It's one of my favorite books (well, I also REALLY like the King Arthur Flour book).  Amazon has it for 7.60 - 9.30.

Any ideas for what you will make next?

i'm teaching myself to make yeast breads.. I've ALWAYS wanted to learn how to make REALLY good bread!! Thanks for the book idea!

I want to find a grainy healthy bread I can make sandwich size.. guessing I need to bake it in a pan but have to figure out that grainy healthy recipe that I can do

Here is the recipe for Chewy Chipit Delights

CHEWY CHIPIT DELIGHTS

Cream together:

1 cup brick margarine (do not use soft!)  (In Canada, a brick of margarine is 1 lb or 454 grams)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Add and mix well:

2 cups flour
3/4 - 1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Press into a 9 x 13 baking pan and bake at 350F for 12 - 15 minutes.

I use a whole brick of margarine and double the rest of the ingredients for two 9 x 13 pans...while you're baking, you might as well make a big batch and they freeze well. They store best in a tin...I used to put them in a tupperware container, but they don't keep as well that way.  I use the Our Compliments brick margarine from Price Chopper or Foodland.  And, it tastes best with 'real' chocolate chips which I get at Briwood.  But, cocoa chips work too. And, while you're at it, might as well use real vanilla too :-)

The original recipe says to bake them 25 minutes, but I found that way too much...we like our cookies soft, so I experimented with baking them just until the edges of the squares are brown and the center is set...they keep baking a bit after they are out of the oven.  You have to check with your oven to get them just right.  I have a gas oven so, if yours is electric, try the shorter time and you can always bake it longer :-).

i'll try those sometime!! Today will be traditional choc chip.. been wanted some for SUCH a long time!

[lovetostitch]

Sounds like they are kind of like a brownie...??  I still have not gotten used to cooking here in higher altitude.  And I agree - if you re gonna bake 'em, use the real thing!!  Thanks for sharing this.
