Baking Mood

Got up real early this morning and decided to fix some cookies. I found the oatmeal recipe that my mom always used. I tweaked it some and added my own touches. I added a little almond flavoring because I could not find any nuts. I was sure I had some, but searching the cabinet did not produce any. So the almond flavoring will have to do.
Here is the mixture with some raisins.
It really doesn't look the yummiest does it? raw oatmeal cookie dough.

So instead of making them as drop cookies, I ended up putting them into a cake pan. I figured it would be easier and faster and still be good. Here they are ready to go into the oven.

I ended up making two batches, one with raisins and one without. Now are you ready? Here is the finished product. Yummy!!!

While the oven was nice and warm I decided to make pizza. Do you remember those little round pizzzas that the schools used to serve for lunch. take a hamburger bun as the crust and add the toppings then toast? Well, I kind of did that. I took a loaf of french bread, sliced it in half, added sauce, then hamburger, then shredded cheese and baked/toasted in the oven. I used hot dog sauce as the sauce for the pizza. It gives it a different type of flavor, but so good. Now I have lunches for the next couple days. Yummy lunches!! Love me some pizza.

And now there is chicken baking in the oven. I found a good deal on some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I ended up buying extra so put them in the freezer. The rest is now baking in the oven. They should almost be done. Smells yummy.

I am not sure why I am such a baking/cooking mood this morning. However, I work the next few days so having this ready will be a good thing.

And before I close this post, I need to say Thank you Lord for the bounty you have provided.

Have a great day!
