weekend baking

We love the weekend! Kasey and I were so lucky to spend so much time with her Daddy.
We also got new shelves in the living room, which we love, thanks hunny and Pop-pop)!

checking out the hard work going on in the living room

we played with our puppy:

take her bone, give it back, take her bone, give it back

we got to see (most of) Daddy's family

and read some stories...

and my poor Kasey-girl is either getting a cold or a tooth - poor girl - she didn't want to eat much today but she was happy to dig into this pear with her Dad

We are just loving the perfect fall weather and got to make some yummy treats this past weekend too:

Carrot Cake Bread, we omitted the almonds and coconut and replaced half the oil with applesauce and crushed pineapple for the diced

                                                                                   3 large eggs

                                                                                    1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup of applesauce
2 cups granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 cups coarsely grated carrots
3/4 cups crushed pineapple, drained 



Our Cream Cheese Glaze - we started with 2 tablespoons milk, 4 oz cream cheese at room temp and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar (add more sugar or milk to change the consistency to what you are looking for)

Zucchini Bread Pancakes, our only change was the half the flour and replace half with whole wheat as suggested

and

Cinnamon Buns, which we thought could be a good idea for garlic knots - by replacing some of the butter with oil and the cinnamon sugar with garlic

Goodnight!
