I can't take credit for this. But since we're talking baked goods. Here's some inspiration...

Tart Tatin

Baked apples in caramel sauce with almond pastry. Recipe from Bruno Albouze.

First time with this recipe for me. Fun to make. Trickiest part is de-molding after overnight refrigeration. I panicked a little during the de-molding "flip" and used the wrong side (brown vs white) of the cake circle! Love the Heritage bundt pan from NordicWare - good quality and interesting shape that can be used with a variety of items.

Made my pasta sauce yesterday and it went into the oven to slow cook all night. Made four tubs this morning.

Banana, raisin and cinnamon bread.

3kg rye loaf baked yesterday. 60% whole rye flour and 40% unbleached white all purpose flour. My usual daily bread for breakfast.

I cut the large loaf into 6 pieces and freeze all of them, except the one piece I use daily for breakfast. The large loaf lasts a month or so, depending on travel schedule.

I do basically the same thing. Cut some large slices then in the freezer. And like you, the bread last about a month, unless I bring some to work then gone...!

I love blueberries. That looks great.

Raspberry jam. I had a good harvest this year and still managed to make two jars because I already ate some.

Berries, pectin, one cup of sugar and boil until thick. The recipe calls for four cups of sugar, but I like my jam tart instead of sickly sweet.

Citrusy shortbread. Not as lemony as I had hoped. Still good though.

Making pizza dough with R2D2. Rising nicely.

Pizza dough looks great!

I was a regular little Suzy Homemaker today.

I picked the last of my tomatoes. The ripe ones were mixed with my zucchinis, green peppers, garlic, basil and EVOO. I made ten freezer bags.

And I made Chow-Chow with the green and yellow ones.
