Marshmallow fondant brain cake

Marshmallow Fondant

There's other fondant, but this tastes better. And it's wicked easy. I used this stuff to make the sulci of a brain-shaped cake.

Chocolate chip cookies

Mom's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

The cookbook called these "Dad's Favorite" chocolate chip cookies. But it turned out the cookbook was wrong and they were, in fact, Mom's favorite.

This is a half batch of the original recipe, but it still makes a lot of cookies.

Naan

Naan

This stuff is good. I eat way too much of it.

Oatmeal bread

Oatmeal Bread

This isn't store-bought sandwich bread - you don't avoid the dry end crust. You fight with your silblings over who gets the crunchy and soft heel of the bread when it's fresh out of the oven and the butter melts into it.

Pancakes

Pancakes

Who doesn't love pancakes? (Real maple syrup only, tho.) I've tweaked this recipe until I have it juuuuuust the way I like it.

Chex snack mix

Party Mix

Some people have Chex Mix. But our family? We have party mix, and it's a staple at Bauer family Christmas. And of course, there's butter involved.

Pasty

Pasties

Originally from Cornwall, then brought to the UP of Michigan before migrating south to my stomach in Wisconsin.
