Rhubarb Cake

I baked the rhubarb cake this morning and yum yum, is it good. I took some to my daughter and also to the neighbor as it made a big 9 x 13 cake. That's a lot to eat by myself. It was a cold morning so was good to have the oven on. Now the sun is out and is heating things up again. It would have been nice if the daughter that brought me the rhubarb could have been here to help enjoy the cake too. Nothing quite like fresh rhubarb. You can freeze it over the winter but it isn't quite the same.

Monkey Bread

I have not made Monkey Bread in years but just looking at this picture makes me want to get busy and make some. I remember when I was working that we would all take turns bringing in home baked goods and Monkey Bread was always a favorite. It is so good when it is warm especially and fresh from the oven. Makes you hungry just thinking about it.

Christmas Cookies

This is the time of year when all the baking gets done. I don't do a lot of baking anymore but our Pastor's wife has invited us to a coffee Saturday morning and we are supposed to bring a dozen Christmas cookies. So yesterday I baked a half batch and ended up with 25 cookies. Set aside the 12 best looking ones, my husband ate one, and gave the neighbor the other 12. She doesn't have sweets in the house because her husband is diabetic so she was quite happy to receive the cookies and I am not tempted to eat them myself.

Sunday Morning Snow

No church today. We are up to our ears in snow. It is blowing fiercly everwhere. I doubt you can see anything out on the road. They have advised no travel now for 2 days already and we're wondering if it will be done by Monday. I just heard the entire State has been declared a disaster area. That's saying some!! Quite a few main highways, freeway and Avenue of the Saints have been closed since early this morning already. It's not a good day. Good day to bake something warm and yummy.
