Thumbprint Jam Cookies: The Cookies

So I finished my cookies and pictures will be up soon I promise. I used the recipe from here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/jam-thumbprints-recipe/index.html. Make sure you leave the butter out for a long time so it comes to room temperature; thats the only way to guarentee perfect cookies. I had more jam than batter so I recomend doubling the cookie recipe.

Team Baking!

Hello everyone!

So I've been really busy with summer and getting back to school but I'm now ready to start baking some more! This is a list of different (big) recipes for my Cross Country Team

Quiche Lorraine

Long time no see!

I've been busy vacationing in beautiful Barbados with most of my family. I was given a daunting task, though: quiche lorraine. It's my cousin's favorite quiche and also mine too.  The recipe I used is here : http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/quiche-lorraine-recipe/index.html. Pictures will be coming soon!

Honey mustard sauce

Hey all,

At my cousins house we decided to cook a ham. We wanted a really sweet and delicious sauce to go with it. We mixed honey, mustard(could be frenchs or grey poupon) and brown sugar. You can also mix a little pineapple juice to give it more flavor

Mayo?

So I was looking at a few different websites about how to get perfectly moist cake, and one website said put in mayo. Really strange to me, but I tried it this morning when making my friend Mixie's cake. Right now it's in the oven so we'll see!
