Procrasti-baking!

Been a busy week pretty much spending all my time at the library. My daily schedule follows a eat.sleep.library routine. This routine has gotten more boring and tiring each and everyday. A few nights ago me and my friend aislinn had enough and decided to study at home. By study at home i really meant make cupcakes!!

I adapted Anna olson's tangerine cupcake recipe and made clementine cupcakes!! The cake itself is not too sweet and was almost like a muffin with very sweet icing. I would definitely make these again!

Christmas Spirit

Since i'm in the middle exams there hasn't been much christmas spirit in my life. I decided that some holiday baking may help. One of my favourite christmas cookies is the traditional shortbread cookie!
I follow Anna Olson's recipe from her "another cup of sugar" cook book! they turned out delicious!

Pizza!


Who needs to order pizza when you can make it yourself! quick and delicious and top it with whatever you want!


Ani and I decided to tackle this recipe it was pretty simple but took a while to bake - bad oven (and set off the fire alarm a few times....)

Recipe:
-2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-3/4 teaspoon salt
-2 teaspoons sugar
-1 package of quick yeast
-3/4 cup warm water

Preheat oven to 450. In bowl mix 1 cup of flour with salt, sugar and yeast. Add the warm water. Mix in 3/4 cup of flour and form a ball. Let dough rise for 5 minutes (or longer if desired). Roll out dough and add in last 1/4 cup of flour as needed. Place on oiled pan and add toppings as desired (We added red peppers, chicken and onions) Place in oven untill crust is slightly browned and cheese is bubbling.

Enjoy!!
