By popular request, I thought I’d provide links to some of my favorite recipes (along with my notes). <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
One caveat: My oven runs a little hot, so my baking time always<\/i> ends up a little shorter than the baking time in the recipe. I tend to set my timer for 10-15% earlier than the amount of time called for in the recipe.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Enjoy! And feel free to send along pictures if you’d like to share!<\/div>\n

1. Epicurious Pumpkin Spice Layer Cake<\/a>: Delicious and crazy-moist. But I halve the butter <\/div>\n
in the frosting recipe. Two sticks to two packages of cream cheese isn’t tasty to me. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Mark Bittman No-Knead Bread<\/a>: Yes. You can<\/i> make homemade bread. Just start WAY in advance of when you need it. No kneading, but lots of rising. And definitely use a warm room. An air-conditioned kitchen probably ain’t gonna do the job. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Smitten Kitchen Challah<\/a>: (See above and image below)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

4. Soup Belly Cream Puffs<\/a>: I use pastry cream for the filling, which was quite delish. I had trouble using the “two spoons” method to get the pastries on the sheet; next time I’ll use my version of a pastry bag (Ziploc bag with a hole cut in the corner.) These puff up quite a bit, so err on the small side. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Smitten Kitchen Mom’s Apple Cake<\/a>: Dee. Lish. Us. But note the apples hold their heat for a while, so be patient before attempting to remove from the pan. And the sugar-and-cinnamon-coated apples? Perfect on their own. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. Smitten Kitchen Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a>: My go-to cookie recipe. Feel free to skip the orange zest. These (and the recipe below) also freeze beautifully. Just scoop onto a cookie sheet, freeze, then store in a freezer bag. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7. Smitten Kitchen Thick Oatmeal Raisin Cookies<\/a>: My go-to oatmeal\/raisin recipe.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
8. Brown Eyed Baker Better-Than-Brownies Chocolate Cookies<\/a>: VERY rich. Quite delicious. Did I mention rich? (Image below.)<\/div>\n

By the way, I’m looking for a good (moist!) muffin recipe that stores well. Anyone have a recipe you’ve had consistently good experiences with? A “morning glory” muffin recipe (carrots, raisins) would be fabulous. (I’ve tried internet versions, but haven’t had much luck.)<\/div>\n
