Handmade loaves (a seasonal blogging event)
Time for another blogging event! I mentioned in my Sundae Sunday post back in July that I was going to start hosting this sort of round-up about once per season. Today we have the Autumn event. I had a few different ideas for the theme. I thought about going with a specific fall ingredient (kind of like my friend Phyl's pumpkin round-up). My only hesitation was that not everyone likes the same things, and I wanted a theme that would appeal to everyone.
Then it hit me--loaves! Lots of things can be made in a loaf shape--yeast breads, quick breads, pound cake, terrines, even meat loaf. =) Now that we're getting some cooler weather (even here in Texas), it's much more appealing to turn on the oven, so loaves seemed like a perfect idea. Be on the lookout for a bunch of loaves this weekend, either from pans or freeform. Don't worry about missing some--I'll have a round-up of all the posts later this week.
If you'd like to join us in future events, you can leave a comment on this post or email me at diskitchennotebook at gmail dot com. Next up will be our 2nd annual Virtual Cookie Exchange, in early December!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to participate in the next event! I didn't know today was loaf day, but I made Portuguese sweet bread yesterday...if I can pull together a post, maybe I'll squeeze my way in!
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking me to participate. I am proud to share my burnt loaf with the group! I spy the Nancy Pan in your mix...isn't that the best??!!!
ReplyDeleteOnce a season is about my speed for organized groups, lol! I love your idea for theme this time around and with any luck I'll have a loaf or two posted by the day's end...
