Happy National Cheesecake Day!
I’m really enjoying this new Monday Muster feature. I always have so much to say but lots of it would not fit into an entire blog post. it’s kind of like turning to a friend and sharing your frustrations or celebrations but they’re only a few sentences.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with the new muster feature, feel free to view the original Monday Muster for a quick refresh. Without further adieu, let’s get this muster underway …

These are miscellaneous items that are not quite ready for their own blog post. These can be things I’m working on, kitchen mishaps, new acquisitions, funny things, etc. These may or may not be coming to a blog post soon :-)
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – These taste amazing but they really did spread everywhere. Should’ve used shortening instead of butter, I guess.

Berry Claufoutis – Texture was very wet & mushy.
We were only able to eat a few bites around the edges :-(

Buttermilk Pound Cake – I was playing around with oat flour and this just did not work out. It looked awful and was way too sweet. Couldn’t even pick it up because it kept falling apart.

Honey-Do Bars – I had planned on posting about these the week of Independence Day but life got int he way and I wasn’t able to. Had to show you my cute star confetti, though.
Hope you enjoyed this week’s muster & thanks for stopping by!












I like your new Monday posts – even if it took me until Wednesday to catch up with it LOL
I know what you mean … It takes me a while to get around to all the great blogs so roundups are a great way to keep up :-)
Wow, too many good things in this post to know where to start! That low-carb cheesecake looks amazing…and that clafoutis is a darn sight prettier than the one I tried to make a few weeks ago. If you think that one was mushy, you should have seen mine. Egads.
