Jake’s Birthday Breakfast

It’s Jacobs 8th birthday today! 

For the last couple of days he has been planning his birthday meals.  For breakfast his request was for cinnamon rolls, lunch cheese pizza and dinner stuffed bread.  But since today is Friday he has delayed his stuffed bread for later this weekend.  So last night I found this recipe for Caramel Apple Sticky  Buns over at Confessions of a Pioneer Woman.  I got up at the crack of dawn this morning to bake for my little man.   Since I didn’t have any apples in the house this morning I just made them without.  I made one pan with walnuts and one without.  They came out most yummy.  I did add a bit more flour because I thought the dough was little too sticky.  Next time I won’t bake them for quite so long.  They are sooo good.  I’ve tried a few cinnamon roll recipes before and this one is by far the best.

 

 

    

     

Happy Birthday Jake!

He loved the sticky buns.

 

Baking Day

I woke up Friday morning in the mood to bake. Sooo I looked around the pantry to see what I could come up with and decided to make Pear Cake, German Chocolate Cookies, Chewy Chocolate Walnut Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Keepin it real. I'm a very messy cook.

The cookies are delicious. The Chocolate Chewy ones were the big hit. I love the German Chocolate ones with just a little coconut.

I love how the pear cake came out. Very heavy and fall tasting. My family is happy all of the cookie jars are full.

Happy Fall Y'all


Pear Cake

1 1/2 c vegetable oil

2 c. sugar

2 eggs

Mix well. Add:

3 c. finely chopped, peeled canning pears

1 c pecans

3 c flour

1 t soda

1 t salt

1 t apple pie spice

2 t vanilla

Mix well. The batter is very very heavy.

Bake at 300 degrees until brown (about 40 minutes) in two 9-in pans or 3 8-in pans. You may also use a tube pan for this cake. The tube pan will take considerably longer check it every 10 minutes after the first 40 minutes.
