What’s Baking January Round Up
This month, I had the privilege of hosting the What’s Baking challenge. I chose a theme to encourage people to “Try Something New For the New Year”. I hope that the other bakers enjoyed the excuse to make something they have never tried before. In no particular order, here are what the other bakers made:

Carrie from Carrie’s Sweet Life made Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread

Catherine from Pursuing Domestic Goddness-ness made Cheese Souffle
Ange from The Tiny Tyrant’s Kitchen made Pistachio Cake

Cara from The Boys Made Me Do It! made Coconut Madeleines

Lindsey from Our Share of the Harvest made Gluten Free Breadsticks
Stephanie from Brownies and Blondies made Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Jade from The Mess Pot made Warm Apple Bread Pudding

Jessica from The Jey of Cooking made Cinnamon Chip Bread

Dani from Cloud 8 1/2 made Cinnamon Rolls

Heather from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks made Cranberry Orange Scones

And last but not least, I made Mini Whole Wheat Bagels
Be sure to watch for the What’s Baking recipes coming in February. Dunne’ from With a Cherry On Top will be hosting. She has selected a theme of “Baked with Love”. We will all be making an item that would be appropriate for a great Valentine’s Day menu.

I made the braised beef for a special occasion and it was AMAZING! Thinking I might need to make it again, now that you’ve reminded me…

I’ve reminded myself to make it again as well! I can’t believe it’s been a year since I made it.
