Whole Wheat Bread Experiments

Experimenting with recipes is something I love do to, but it often stems from the fact I don't have all the right ingredients on hand. I'm impulsive and don't always want to go out to the store so I just go for it. I just got this awesome recipe for whole wheat bread. And true to form I tweaked it.

Super easy cinnamon buns. Like, for beginners.

This Brioche dough takes 5 minutes to make. I mix it up in a tupperware container (and don't seal the lid, just set it on top). I do this after dinner then just before bed throw it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, it takes a few minutes to roll out the dough, sprinkle it with sugar, and pop it in the oven.

Maple bacon chocolate toffee

Yup, you read that right. I made this after the hubby came home with the recipe from a coworker. It was adapted from this recipe.

I made 1/2 a batch and stirred in a scant 1/4 cup chocolate chips at the very end after it was spread out onto the silpat. Mine looks much butterier than the one on Foodie with Family, I'm not sure why. I can tell you it doesn't affect the taste! Man this is RICH stuff...very very addicting. Probably excellent on ice cream. I'll have to check that out since the summer weather seems to be happening now that it's the END of SePTEmBer. Sheesh.

Lamb Barley Stew (Slow Cooker style)

I've been looking forward to doing some fall-style meals and this one really hit the spot.
