When Did You Last Do any "Baked Goods"?

ECBG — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 00:14:09 GMT

I can bake, but don't want the calories.

The last time I baked a "goodie" was Christmas. All holidays after Christmas I bought at Fresh Market!!! (That would only be Easter)!

I think I made muffins once in my 72 years but that's the end of my baking experience!!

Last weekend I had company here at the lake so I made a coffee cake for breakfast one day and caramel rolls another day. I also baked a pan of brownies. I bake cookies and brownies occasionally when it is just my DH and me. I can usually leave them alone. It's the salty snacks I have trouble with.

@ECBG I don't really bake often...but... I do make a yummy apple crisp if I do say so myself. Just got all the ingredients today. I like to combine Honeycrisp and Mackintosh apples with a lot of cinnamon. It always comes out great. Plus the house smells like fall while baking. 🍁🤗

@Mombo1

That sounds nice, but I am not a fan of cereal.

We live in apple country, Gerber used to have a baby food factory here, and DH does this. It's really good if it has a lot of apples.

Unless it's a holiday, I don't have flour in the house.

I don't bake often anymore, but once in awhile I get the urge. I'll bake something simple like apple or pumpkin bread.

I bake about once a week or so. Last item was a lemon cream cake with blueberries and topped with cream cheese icing. It was yummy.

I made homemade biscuits this morning. I don't make them often but they are so good. I only eat half of one. My husband loves them. He needs to gain some weight so he can eat them occasionally.

It's been so long (years) ago that I would have no idea. I'm not much for dessert or bread so I don't make and rarely eat them. I do bake casseroles though. .🤣

Hello. I hope it's ok to chime in. Now that I no longer work and have no young kids at home, I'm doing all the little things I've wanted to do. Today I made my very first cake from scratch. I can count on one hand home many times I've baked in my life.

I baked a blueberry sour cream Bundt cake.! Delicious!

I bake for my husband and brother in nursing home. I have David's cookies on hand and toss in a few every so often. That's how I roll. I do bake cookies at Christmas time from scratch. I do not want those calories either.

I gained weight during pandemic and have taken it off now and plan to keep it that way.

I bake for them and have no problem passing.

Even though I love to bake, I only bake around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don't want the extra calories.

I used to be a great baker but haven't made anything for more than a few years. Nobody to eat it but me and I hate cooking in my kitchen. Its just not worth the aggravation.

I made a batch of keto corn muffins this past Thursday. I'll be making an assortment of keto muffins and keto chocolate chip sheet pan cookies this week.

I bake at least once a week. I always bake a small loaf of banana bread, chocolate chip bread, or something like cinnamon streusel. My mother currently is in hospice care. I also bake for her and her caregiver some cookies about every two weeks. Baking makes me happy and makes my home smell good too.

I bake a lot. I usually have some sort of quick bread that I have made in the freezer. I bake a lot to send off as gifts for the Christmas holidays. To me it is relaxing.

Last week I made Commissary Chocolate cake for a friend. I only eat a sliver. For myself I baked fig muffins and breakfast bars with all my special flours and sugars to hopefully keep my weigh down! Figs, I was told to pick by a neighbor who is away! I froze some and will ask her if she wants any upon her return.

I always bake at Christmas for my daughter and grandchildren. Several times a year I will make the chocolate cake, lemon bars and seasonal pies! I also do Quiche, with my low fat items. Leftover meat or poultry sometimes will go in a pot pie. Just how I was taught. I am 71 so it sort of keeps me busy!

@ECBG I always bake pies and bread for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Other than that, I bake in the fall and winter because.... I don't know. Today was the first time I have baked since Easter. I made the two ingredient pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips. Not very smart, because we just bought a shoo fly pie at the local farmers' market this morning. I plan to distribute the pumpkin muffins to the neighbors tomorrow morning. Sunday coffee!

I haven't baked in so long I can't remember☹️☹️☹️

I've always enjoyed baking for us and others, especially for special occasions -- life this past few years has changed immensely.

We no longer entertain as spouse illness has stopped any gatherings. Right now, my focus has been on him although baking and cooking was really such good "therapy" for me.

I don't even think in my baking pantry I have the ingredients. Although, he did ask me to make chocolate chips for him (I haven't as yet). Neither of us are big dessert eaters -- and I cook so little now that Sundays has become our "big meal" for the week.

In fact, we didn't even have bday cake this year (I usually make it) - first time in years I think we missed!

@ECBG This week, I baked a Devil's Food Bundt Cake with a

macaroon filling and vanilla icing for my son's birthday.

I don't bake as often as I did when my children were growing up and still living at home.
