Continuing My 1st Goal

I am so proud that I have continued with my first goal. Today, I'm baking another batch of Amish Friendship Bread. It's cooking in the oven right now and boy does it smell good. I wanted to think of something new to mix into it, and came up with an Applesauce and a Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip loafs. I've had applesauce before when my mom use to make it and it's yummy. Though I never had peanut butter & chocolate chip, so I'll see what this tastes like.

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. sugar

In mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Bake in 2 well greased and sugared 9"x5" bread pans. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Additions (one or more to taste)1/2 cup)- Raisins, apple (chopped), crushed pineapple(drained), candied fruit, coconut, dates(chopped), nuts and/or chocolate chips may be added to batter before baking.



Then I mixed it together

My 1st Goal - Day 4

I'm doing pretty good so far on staying on top of my stirring. Yeah, I know, not that hard to do. But it's good to start small and not be overwhelmed. So today was just another stir day. Completed!
