Jen's Baking Adventures

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Good Morning, everyone. I know you’re all probably dying to know that the challenge is this month for Sally’s Baking Addiction. I was actually surprised when it came out, as it’s one of my favorite desserts, but one that I’ve never made before: Lemon Bars. When I was a kid, I remember my Nan (grandmother)…

Back up, Cake!

As some of you know, one of my big goals this year is to work on and improve my cake decorating skills. So far, I have none, but I’m working on it. This last weekend we celebrated a family birthday and I was once again, asked to make a second, or back up cake, to…

Piggies in A Blanket

Welcome to my little corner of March’s #greatbritishbakeoffinternational challenge. I really enjoy doing these challenges with my baking friends. I learn so much by baking a new kind of food and by seeing other’s successes and failures. For this month’s challenge, we picked “Pigs In a Blanket”. However, the dough was not a crescent roll…

Lemon Blueberry Danish in a muffin

Happy Muffin Monday, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve focused on low carb muffins. And I’m telling ya, I miss it! Today I’m sharing a recipe for Lemon Blueberry Cheese Danish Muffins. I know that’s a mouthful to say. It’s also a mouthful of amazing flavors! The recipe itself is very long and intense,…

White Chocolate Brownies

Ok, so I promised that I’d get back to some good old fashioned baking on here, and today is the day! This week I went searching for a new sugary recipe on Sally’s website. It’s usually a good place to start. After much deliberation, I settled on a recipe for White Chocolate Brownies. Now I’ve…

Enchiladas Gone Wild

Ok, so I know that my blog is titled “baking adventures”, and the last few posts, including this one, have been about healthy dinners. However, they are all dinners that were BAKED in the oven, so it counts, right? Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to bake a lot of pretty desserts lately. Between work and…

Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Happy Hump Day! It’s a gorgeous sunny morning here in Southern Indiana. I hope you all are staying warm out there. Today I want to show you a recipe I stumbled across last week while planning my meals for the month. It’s for a low carb Zucchini Pizza Casserole. I know we’ve talked about zucchini…

Serendipitous Squash

Have you ever had those days where you had everything planned out and you were pumped and jazzed about it? We all have, right?! I’m going to take you back to a Sunday night a few weeks ago. It’s dinner time, and I had big plans for what I wanted to make. My goal was…

Self-Care, DO-Care

Ok, so the last week or two, I’ve taken a step back from baking and have been experimenting more with cooking and eating healthy. After meeting with my doctor about my high cholesterol, I made an all too late new year’s resolution to take my health very seriously. Clearly the steps I was already taking…

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Happy Sunday everyone! I’m so ready for Spring to arrive, but while we’re waiting, I’ve been working on some recipes that will help keep you warm the rest of the winter. One of my friends and I were feeling the itch to cook a few months ago, so we went to the store in search…
