Muffin Overload!

PL came over to my place after midnight on a Saturday in May and we made banana muffin and 2 different types of blueberry muffins in 4 hours... It was simply muffin overload!

The brown muffins that you see in the picture were way too sweet while the whitish one was too bland. Haha...

Had a great time baking after a long break. Shall chase away my lazy bug and plan in more time to do so before my work schedule gets busy again...

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

I love these cookies with the melt-in-mouth texture! They were easy and quick to make too. Made these for my dear friends on Vday and most of them liked it. But... there is a milky taste which I feel that not everyone might enjoy. Here is the recipe which I got from a blog. I made the choc chip version which were really good!

On the very same day, I attempted this red berries tray bake with cheesecake ripple which I got the recipe from another blog. I thought it sounds good but when I made it, they were way too sweet and was not what I expected.

Fortunately, the German cookies saved my baking day on Vday eve! :)

My oven is back in action!

My oven came home after repair, just in time to spend CNY with me. And if I remember correctly, I started baking again on 11 February 2012. I made yummy Cinammon Rolls again (though I was not very satisfied with the texture, they still taste good!)!

Along with the Cinammon rolls, I made baked rice for dinner. I tried to be healthier and ommitted some seasonings and..... it ended up being too bland...

But overall, it was still a good start for my oven!

Rowenta Oven (26/07/08 to 31/12/11)

After close to 3.5 years, my dear oven gave up on me on 31 Dec 2011... it celebrated my New Year by tripping my home electricity, turning my home into pitch darkness when the clock was about to strike 12mn! Haha...

It still looks to be in such good condition that I can't bear to give it up! Shall try to check out the servicing cost... and hopefully, it will be working again soon. But for now, with no oven, it's a break from baking for me. Perhaps time to pack my baking materials (equipments, books, etc etc). :)

November in the Kitchen
