Monday Muster

Monday Muster @ Food Stories

Happy National Root Beer Float Day!

I’m really enjoying this new Monday Muster feature and it’s actually turned out to be quite helpful. Whenever, I’m making something new in the kitchen, and it doesn’t work out, it was always a huge let down. Kind of like, “What am I gonna blog about”. Now, I get excited because there’s a place for things that aren’t perfect. I can at least dialogue about what I’ve been doing. It seems like I always have so much to say but lots of it just wouldn’t fit into an entire blog post. Hooray for Monday Muster!

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 :-)

Hummus – I thought it was great but the hubs says I went overboard on the garlic and lemon. Since he eats hummus way more than I do, I’ve got to keep working on this one.

Carrot Bread – Made a carrot cake this past weekend and had lots of leftover grated carrots so I thought I would make some other carrot stuff. This bread was a huge disappointment. I actually like heavy, dense baked goods but this was so dry.

Carrot Bread with Glaze – Thought the glaze would help but it didn’t. Still a dense, dry brick but it is pretty :-)

Cheesy Muffins – You can’t really see the kitchen mishap in the picture but let me share with you what happened. The napkin that I put under the muffins for the picture was new. Didn’t even think twice about using it and the black ink stained all the muffins that touched it so I had to throw most of these away. Too bad because they are scrumptious.

New Kitchen Toys – Bakers twine and cake stencils

Hope you enjoyed this week’s muster & thanks for stopping by! What’s been going on in your neck of the woods?
