Baking away!

So I might be getting carried away... but I'm loving my new oven. I have made several tasty things без рецепта (without recipe) the last couple of days. And I thought I'd share with you...

Chocolate-Banana Muffins (I love this one. Mostly because in the picture you can see that I also rearranged all the spices

so that I have them within easy reach now instead of up in the cupboard!)








5 Bean Chicken Soup... Somehow I was able to get my hands on a just-the-beans mix with black beans in it. (I have ransacked this city for black beans before, and not found them, and then found them, and then not found them again) So when I 'kinda found them' I definitely had to put them to good use...








Hobo Cooked Chicken- Fruit Style?... (he he. This delicious experiment needs a better name. And no Alexis, it cannot be Chicken Nectarine Peas Lemon Pepper. That's the recipe!)

And... the coup de etat?!?!
Poğaça

That's right. My favorite Turkish bakery treat. The translation you'll get on google translate is 'pastry.' And a friend once described them as a cross between a croissant and a biscuit. Well these aren't quite the same as the goodness from a 'firin'. But it's a good second best. I even imported some onion seed garnishes during my last visa run to make them even more authentic.
