Today I did some baking in my new kitchen!! (It is bigger in real life. Phones don't take great pictures.)
Having a beautiful home is the advantage of moving. The disadvantage is paying through the nose to do it.
Since a shoestring budget is too extravagant for us right now, I'm doing this thing where I don't buy anything ever- except gas to get to work. It's a good plan, but I don't have a whole lot in the way of baking ingredients. I mean, I've got the basics: flour, sugar, butter, baking soda and powder. Looking at recipes online though, I kept coming up short on all the parts. So, my friend introduced me to a wonderful website called myfridgefood.com. You go on and check off the ingredients that you have and the website tells you what you can make. It's fantastic. In this way, I learned that I had all the ingredients for Easy Shortbread. And 20 minutes later, Ta-Da!
I was hoping to make some sort of cake, but the shortbread turned out really delicious. I mixed a few chocolate chips into some of them for a little pizazz. They are also really delicious with some raspberry jam spread on them.
