Keep seeing the advert for hot cross buns from M&S, unfortunately, no M&S close by, so I'm making them myself! and a mississippi mud cake

Oh no! Two times would be my limit as well. Sorry they didn't turn out!

Fortunately I don't even like Thin Mints that much and a friend is sending us a box so all is well  :D

I got my baking mojo back with coffee cake this weekend. I keep having to explain to Brits that it doesn't have coffee in it. But I sent half to my FFIL and he's a convert. He requested more in the future and told DF that he's lucky to have found such a good cook  ;D

On Saturday, I made a lurrrvely rhubarb cake - recipe from the Riverford website & I'd gladly provide the link except their website is having lots of issues today and doesn't want to play ball.

Anyway, I'm trying to find ways that I would like to eat rhubarb, because it's not my favourite thing, so this cake was especially nice - it also had vanilla, orange zest and plain yoghurt (I used the good Greek stuff) in it, very moist, and easy to make too - bonus!

I recently bought vanilla paste from Waitrose & OMG it makes everything so much nicer & more vanilla-ey than just regular extract (and I have good Madagascar vanilla extract as well) but this is like using the beans - only easier.  I've done two lots of vanilla ice cream with it, and now this cake.  :)

Chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal walnut scones.  We watched "Stranger than Fiction" (which I LOVED), and it made me want to bake! I mailed some of the cookies off to friends; hopefully they make it in one piece!

I don't really like rhubarb either, but my in laws do, so I made this for Easter dessert. I actually really liked it because it tasted more like strawberries and they all scarfed it down!

I thought about making something rhubarb-strawberry, but the hubs was suspicious of such a combination.  ::)  I think he's more a purist wanting his rhubarb separate from his strawberries.

Myself, I'm not a big fan for fools...hahaha.  :P

I made a batch of Paul Deen's Cheesy Biscuits!  Everyone is going gaga over them. LOL

I've been making them in a Yorkie pan, so they are more cupcake shaped, but nicely cooked through. 

I'm excited for the summer, because we have Rhubarb, Blackberries and Apples growing in our back yard - oh the pies!

Rhubarb-Strawberry is one of the main mixes on every cooking show!

One of my absolute favorite pies came from the Little Apple Pie Company in New York.  It was a rhubarb/berry crumble, with rasperry, blackberries, strawberries and rhubarb. I could sit there and eat it all by my onesies!

Can you find that link Mrs R? I love rhubarb and I have a go-to crumble/cobbler recipe that is always very well received but I'd like more options  :) 

I made the Banoffee Cheesecake from Nigella's Kitchen. I love banoffee pie and I love cheesecake so I figured it would be a good combination, and it is, but I'd prefer to have a regular banoffee pie (with a distinct layer of banana) so I don't plan on making it again.

Oooh, one of my favourites! I love it so much I actually had it as my birthday cake one year.  :)

I just made some apple crisp. I had some apples that didn't taste very nice on their own, so I thought baking and smothering them in sugar would do the trick. Thankfully I was right!

I made some "Olive Oil, Thyme and Lemon Muffins" from the Pioneer Woman's food blog.  I only got one and the rest were devoured by my boys. I might have to make a secret second batch, so I can get another one :)
