Every once in a while I get a major inkling (has anybody ever spelled that out before?) to bake.
Right now would be one of those times.
I love to bake, it's one of my favorite things to do, but since Bennett was born I haven't baked nearly as much as I'd like.
The oven in the new house is the original one from good 'ol 1954, and though it works, I'm pretty sure it's temperature is way off. I think I will be purchasing an oven thermometer before I do any baking, but until then I can figure out which one of these yummies I would like to make...
blueberry lemon buttermilk cake
chocolate cobbler
blackberry pie bars
zucchini nutella muffins
double chocolate chunk oreo cookies
coconut lime pound cake
chocolate chip sour cream muffins
carrot sheet cake with cream cheese frosting
strawberry icebox pie
coconut macaroons with meyer lemon curd
vanilla pudding chocolate chip cookies
I'm pretty sure you should have a baking marathon and make them all. Then you can invite me over to help eat them. It's a good idea.
My oven is the same way! I am living in Chile, so all the ovens here run off propane - and the dials only give you a general idea of what the temp is, like 180-210 C. it's nuts! And to top it off they don't sell oven thermometers, so I definitely bought one last time we came up to the states. Happy baking!

I was totally bit by the baking bug yesterday! Soooo, today I'm planning on picking up some ingredients and whipping up a frenzy! I just need to narrow down what I want to make, arrrrr! xoxo
Ok I'm so wishing I hadn't read your post today....my mouth is WATERING! That chocolate cobbler looks scrumptious:)
This inkling seems to be contagious.
oh man....all of these look so good!! almost as good as that delicious meal you cooked up tonight :). thanks again for being the hostess with the mostess!! glad we're friends.
These all look delicious! (Especially the zuccini/nutella muffins!) The oven in our house is from 1920 or so; an oven thermometer is my best friend when baking.
haha I love that I get the most comments when I post about desserts. :) It sounds like we need to have a dessert party!
