Crazy Baker






We're having a bake sale Saturday for my daughter's dance team and I thought I would try some new recipes and 1 or 2 "tried-n-trues". I found a recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Loaves from cooks.com. It calls for fresh lemon zest and fresh lemon juice for the glaze. I "had to" make an extra loaf for home. This is one of my son's favorite breads/muffins.

The pumpkin cake with apple cider glaze is a combination of Pinterest (sorry, can't remember the source but more than several people have pinned it) and my own glaze recipe. I've made this lots of times and it's easy with just 2 ingredients, canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) and yellow cake mix. The glaze uses more ingredients! In place of milk, I use apple cider with the powdered sugar and vanilla. So... I forgot the apple cider so I made maple butter glaze. I just made it up as I went along and, YAY!, I remembered the measurements so I could tell you! Two cups of powdered sugar, three tablespoons of maple syrup (in place of some of the milk), one tablespoon milk, one teaspoon vanilla, two tablespoons melted butter. Stir with a whisk.
The sausage/cheese muffins came from makingahouseahome.blogspot.com. I had a hard time finding a recipe that didn't call for cheese soup (not a favorite ingredient of mine and I never have any in my pantry). This one calls for milk but no soup. Bingo!
