Vegan candy: Katjes Tappsy
We bought these at world market a long time ago and I thought they would be really hard but they were soft. They taste a bit like sugary licorice.Not bad.
Bread: Italian herb bread
I thought this would be too seasoned but it was very good. It seemed a little wet in the bread maker but it turned out well.

Bread: Sesame seed white bread
This was delicious. We substituted the butter with sesame oil which meant we needed to add a bit more flour.

Bread: hot cross bun loaf
Boo picked this recipe. We used currants as the dried fruit. It was good toasted but a bit stodgy so we would add a bit more yeast if we make it again

Vegan candy: Candy Kittens Eton Mess
The bag is adorable and they smell delicious when you open it. They are a bit chewy but keep at it because they are delicious once you get into them. From World Market

Bread: Almond Poppy Seed
I was looking for a quick bread recipe and found this one and thought I'd give it a try. I tried the 1.5 pound loaf because some of the measurements were easier and I'm glad I did since it barely fit in the breadmaker! :)
It was good but I think I really did want a quick bread

Vegan candy: Candy Kittens Loved
These are pretty good. I forgot about them and left the bag open some months ago but they were not brick hard. Good texture and a nice flavor. Would buy again from World Market.

Bread: Dinner Rolls
This was my first try at shaped rolls. I thought they turned out well but were a little dry and leftovers were delightful when toasted and spritzed with butter. It made about twenty four rolls total which was a bit much for us but we sent lots of them home with my family.

Bread: Zojirushi Whole Wheat Seeded Bread
This was probably my favorite loaf so far. Slightly sweet and the seeds add a nice texture. I am not sure where I got the recipe but fortunately I copied the text of it.
Zojirushi Whole Wheat Seeded Bread
For a hearty and nutritious option, this seeded whole wheat bread combines flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds for a crunchy, nutrient-packed loaf. The Zojirushi bread machine ensures the bread rises evenly and bakes to a golden perfection, making it ideal for sandwiches or as a side dish to your meals.

Layer the whole wheat flour, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and salt on top of the wet ingredients.
Make a small well in the dry ingredients and add the yeast.

Bread: Basic White Bread
Since we moved, I've been in a bread making mood. It could be because our new kitchen is welcoming and pleasant to be in. While it is not a huge kitchen, there is still a space I can take over with my breadmaker and ingredients.
I started with a basic 2 pound white bread loaf.

It turned out well! My boo (the person who cooks in our house) got me set up with a scale so I can weigh out the ingredients and be more precise (and feel like I'm on the Great British Baking show). It was a good starter bread but I wouldn't make it again. There was nothing wrong with it, just a bit plain.
