So, the holidays are right around the corner. Are you ready? Maybe I can help...
Are you having company stay with you? How about ordering some cinnamon rolls to serve warm to them for breakfast? I'll even let you take the credit for them if you want. :) I will prepare them as brown and serve, so all you have to do is warm them up! Or banana muffins, blueberry muffins, bran muffins....all kinds to serve the different tastes of your guests!
What about holiday dinners? Do you plan to serve rolls? I can prepare and freeze dinner rolls for you. All you have to do is heat them until browned from frozen. Easy.
What about leftovers that you'll make sandwiches with? I can get you homemade loaves of bread to make those sandwiches! Honey wheat bread with leftover turkey? Mmmm.
Snacks, dessert.......what about banana bread or pumpkin muffins?!
If you'd like to order something for the upcoming holidays - parties, guests, dinners, etc - just let me know! Give me a date and time and I'll have it there for you!
I'm also working on offering a muffin variety package....a dozen muffins, but a couple different kinds instead of just one flavor. Email me if you're interested. We can work out the details!
Thanks!

Cool Weather = Great Baking Weather
Fall is upon us. This is GREAT weather for baking. The house smells great, the breads/cookies are warm and fresh, and the oven helps warm the house without having to waste money with the furnace running.
I have been baking frequently for my immediate family - rolls for dinner (they go wonderfully with soups and roasts!), cookies and cakes to snack on. I have a few orders trickling in here and there. Please let me know if you'd like to order anything. I am almost always able to bake within 24 hours of the order coming in, so if you needed something the day after ordering....it's almost always possible. I do have a life outside of baking (hard to imagine, I know), so there are times when things come up but not too many that I can't sneak in some baking time.
I did waste $6 the other day at Costco and bought their "homemade" mini cinnamon rolls. The samples they had tasted good (and I was very hungry for lunch at the time), but now that we've been eating them I'm thinking what a waste! I could have made huge homemade ones with as much icing as I wanted and saved my $6 on all the preservatives and junk they put in theirs; plus I could have frozen mine and only used as many as I needed instead of having a bunch of Costco ones that I need to eat before they go bad. Oh well. You live and learn, right? That's why I try not to shop on an empty stomach. Silly decisions.
Speaking of freezing breads, you can freeze all of the breads I make. The dinner rolls I make are brown and serve, so I pre-bake them slightly so the dough sets. I then package them in freezer bags with heating instructions, and you can use them as needed and as many as you need. One order makes 16; you can pull out a few if that's all you needed and bake them til golden. They last in the freezer up to 3 months. The same is true for the cinnamon rolls - I bake them to set and then you can freeze to bake them at a later time.
The loaves of bread freeze well up to 2 months. You do lose some of the moistness (as you would with any bread), but you still get the freshness without the preservatives and artificial flavors. I do double wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in food storage bags, so they are ready to freeze when you receive them.
Happy Fall everyone. I do wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween!
