{Friday Five Foodie Finds #27} Baking Itch

February 15, 2013 by Amanda R DeWitt

 Hello Friends!

I have the itch.

The baking itch.

I mean it hasn’t been that long since my last baking excursion…but a week is long enough!  I am getting ready to head out for the weekend to hang out at the hotel that is Dave (the BF)’s home most of the time and I won’t be able to satisfy it there.

For now I have these yummy eats from very talented bloggers around the web to stare at and get the wheels turning for my next round of baking.  Which will hopefully be next week…otherwise that’s a long time to be itchy!

More about my Friday Five Foodie Finds here.

Colossal Cookies by Lauren at Climbing Grier Mountain

Oh how I adore textured cookies!  Or just any cookie!  And these look ginormous!

Sex in a Pan by Chocolate Covered Katie

Pretty sure that’s the first time the word “sex” has ever been on the blog.  Let’s see how the search terms change to get to this blog, shall we?  But about the actual dessert…I didn’t realize there were raisins in it!  Ewwie!  I will have to substitute something…maybe craisins?

Stuffed Cherry Blossom Sugar Cookies

I’m pretty sure yummy things stuffed in other yummy things is a crowd pleaser and I am definitely going to be making something similar very soon!  Also, hello pretty photography!
 

Baby Banana Quinoa Muffins by Gina at the Fitnessista

These are meant for babies, but I want to try them!  I STILL have not touched quinoa, which seems to be a foodie blogger sin, so I better get to it!

Skinny Cake Balls by Gina at Skinny Taste

Well a day too late, but the base recipe will still last throughout the year.  Skinny cake balls!  Who knew, right?  I know the outside is the same as a normal cake ball/pop, but the inside is a bit healthier with egg whites and greek yogurt.  Who’s birthday is coming up?

I will be pinning all of these to my Friday Five Foodie Finds Pinterest board! πŸ™‚
Wish me luck on my 4-ish hour drive to nowhere, Nebraska! πŸ™‚

Do you like raisins?
What did you do for Valentine’s Day?  I did a bootcamp with my roomie and I’m heading to see the BF this weekend.  I still need to pick him up a card/present on the way…boys are so hard to buy for!

    I can. not. bake. in my home. I will EAT it all. I bake only to give away! πŸ™‚ Raisins…meh. I don’t like them in cookies or on their own – but will tolerate them in GORP (Good Old Raisins & Peanuts). Valentines Day – erm…hubby came home early and let me get my workout in earlier in the day, we went and picked up our van and paid 16-hundies in repairs, and after that there was nothing left to do but share a bottle of red and watch Stargate SG-1. What can I say – we’re hopelessly romantic. ;o) Safe travels, have a super-duper weekend!!

      haha that does sound romantic! πŸ˜‰

      I like giving away treats too lol. I used to keep them a day or two and then take them to someone else’s house but I don’t know that many people in this city now!

    These all look sooo good- I’ve enjoyed your finds! I’m so glad to have found you on Friday Favorite Finds- I liked the idea of sharing others’ recipes and wanted to meet other bloggers who felt the same way. πŸ™‚ I am now following you on FB, Bloglovin and on Twitter.

    I do like raisins…in moderation….in some recipes that call for raisins, I kind of like dates… now you know way more about my raisin likes and dislikes than anyone. πŸ™‚

    I’ve got to check out the sex recipe. [How weird does that sound?]

    Maybe dates instead of raisins?
