We have attended three holiday parties in the last three days with a fish fry scheduled for tonight, a Christmas Eve party on the 24th, and the annual Christmas lunch and family bowling tournament scheduled for Christmas. I bake for all of these events so today I was up to my elbows in sugar cookies and brownies. I love to bake anyway so baking cookies and breads and cakes from scratch is a good (cheap!) way to contribute to parties without having to go to the store and buy stuff for each occasion. Now to get the brownies out of the pan without mangling them...
I like to bake too! In fact, as early as it is on a Sunday morning (I'm an early bird and usually in bed by 9 PM at night), I'm getting ready to make a cherry pie. I just wanted to give you a little tip that I have started using myself- put your brownie batter (bars, whatever) on a foil or parchment lined paper in your pan. I still grease it slightly or use spray. It makes cutting and removal so much easier and your pan stays pretty clean too. I do this with my fudge too. I'm enjoying your blog- I have only been to Vegas once in October 2018. My sis got a bonus and treated 4 of us to a flight, hotel and food! Enjoy the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I've never tried baking parchment but you can bet I will get some next time I go to the store--I did manage to mangle the brownies unfortunately :(
DeleteI haven't made brownies in ages. Sounds like a baking goal once my cookies are all done.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear that people still like to bake! None of the grand kids or their friends are really into it.
