Baking Frenzy for Father's Day

I am no master baker, 

not even a mediocre baker ;)

I don't know that I have ever seen a "twin" egg !

There were two yolks in the large egg on the right.

The egg on the left is a regular large egg from the 

same dozen. 

Making muffins (box mix) for breakfast 

I then spent the rest of the morning baking three desserts 

(and making a big ol' mess !) for the dads:

Brownies (box mix) with walnuts and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

I wanted to have the kids sprinkle powdered sugar over 

die cut letters D A D since the brownies were for their dad, 

but they wanted no part of it. I could have done it myself...

Fresh peach pie (Betty Crocker recipe) my brother in law requested.

That was supposed to be a tie on his pie,

but I don't know what I was doing - 

it looks like a fish! 

First time I've made a basic peach pie and it was pretty good! 

My dads slightly burned fresh apple pie

(Betty Crocker recipe).

I felt so bad for burning it and had no time to 

go to the store to get more apples, make another.

Despite it being burned , it tasted great and the apples

didn't get too mushy like they do sometimes !

I cut D A D into the top of it.

Since it was a bit burned, the colors coordinated

with the card I made him =) 

I did make one thing healthy to take to the family dinner: a really large salad with home made dressing,
a family favorite. Here is the recipe; it is a Roman type dressing.

It went well with the beautiful gargantuan sized home made lasagna and cheesy garlic bread my sister made. I think the dads enjoyed their meal and desserts =)


Thanks for looking !
