All Cooked Out
After a massive baking session yesterday, I think I might be all “cooked out”.
I started the day with the jelly cups, knowing that they would take all day by the time each colour set, ready to add the next colour. I made 31 in total. 30 to take to the kidz klub sleepover we’re helping with tonight and 1 for Trailer Boy who is too young to go to the sleepover.
I couldn’t believe that I ended up using 11 packets of jelly! So 5.5Litres of jelly!!!! Sounds like a LOT of jelly to me! And the cups aren’t even full (which is fine because they’re yet to have a chocolate frog and a scoop of ice cream added to them).
Here’s the final product:
I made 2 batches of soy & linseed knots rolls in an effort to use up my breadmix before we go. I think I have enough left for 1 more batch which I’ll try and make next week. I make the dough for these in the breadmaker (takes 2.5 hours) then shape into the rolls.
Generally I only have time to do 1 batch in a day but I got started in reasonable time so just scraped 2 lots in before having to head off to training.
I’ve been researching different recipes of late in an attempt to use up some things that aren’t getting touched. Rice Bubbles was one such thing. So, I found this Honey Bubble Crunch recipe and have been playing around with it.
The first batch I made (Wednesday), I topped with melted chocolate/butter. Yummo!!!
Then, I had used up my chocolate, so when I made another batch yesterday, I put sprinkles on top instead.
I also made a batch of cupcakes for supper tonight:
Then realised that I’d done nearly all my baking for other stuff and should make *something* for us. So, I made these white choc and macadamia biscuits:
I think I’m finally getting there with using up ingredients in the cupboard. Not that I don’t still have quite a bit there but the bits and pieces and opened packets are now mostly used up.
I did spend a bit of time yesterday while I was in the kitchen just sorting the cupboard out and putting a few things into airtight containers that are normally just sitting in open packets.
I guess it’ll be my last “baking day” before we head off. I may bake a few bits and pieces next week but not a big day like this one was.

The recipe for my LCM rice bars
Slowly melt 1 pkt marshmellows and approx 90g butter or marg slowly until just melted.
Stir into about 4 cups of rice bubbles quickly and pour into greased tin….
You can add sprinkles on top, or choc bits or even add these into the bowl when mixing..

You can also use up rice bubbles as a coating for chicken ..
