I just made my second batch of Mary Jane's No-fuss Biscuits (at the request of Bo, who rarely asks me to make anything twice!) Boy, are they good! I admit I tweaked the recipe a bit, though.
I used whole milk, lots of fresh-grated extra sharp tillamook cheddar, and a handful of dried chopped chives. The first time, I'd mixed up some Budget Mix with some dried thyme and parsley, planning on making some dumplings for a chicken soup, but the soup was too stew-like without, so I skipped the dumplings and added cheese, chives, and more Budget mix to the thyme-flour mix and made biscuits instead.
Please feel free to steal my ideas. I promise, even your picky hubby will like it.
What have you been baking lately? What's your latest concoction/new old favorite?. I'm working on making fresh bread at least once a week, but need to perfect my recipe and technique. My new old fave is the biscuits mentioned above.

ACK! Just ran out of Budget Mix! NO!!! I'M DOOMED!!!
Just kidding. I'm already ordering a 10lb. bag to replenish my cupboard.
Rene-
Not much of a secret, just something I knew he'd like, and I'd once bought some really tasty green onion and cheese rolls at a farmers market here. Those were the most fluffy rolls I've ever had, and I wanted to try to recapture that.
Now I must go wash the flour off my hair and face. I'm steppin' out with my best girl friend tonight.

Yesterday, I baked two dozen cupcakes for four girls for my daughter's birthday party. I ate two, my friend ate two, my son ate four. Those little girls ate the rest. (gag)
Then today I baked two cakes for her family party. One of my killer Chocolate cakes, and one marble.
I have half the marble, and 1/3rd of the chocolate left.
I never thought I would say this, but I am sick of cake.

Oh, Kate. I've been there. I bought 2 dozen cupcakes for my own birthday party with my friends this year, and hardly anyone ate them, so Bo and I had to try to eat them before they went bad.
I baked 17 strawberry muffins yesterday. I know, very early for strawberries, but they were SO GOOD!!! I used a recipe from the Joy of Cooking. (I can't believe I ever lived without that book before.) I also went a little crazy taking pictures of the strawberries before and after, which you can see on my blog.
