Today I threw out my Kraft baking powder and bought Tone's Baking Powder. I just found out from my cookbook that most baking powders out there contain aluminum. Just in case they confirm later that aluminum does cause Alzheimer's, I switched.
Ever since my sister came over and baked me the cream cheese brownies, I've started baking from scratch myself. I made "sweet and creamy muffins" the other day. I added apples and cinnamon to see how it would taste, and it tasted great! Today I made butter cookies and added apples to that. I had planned on sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on top of the cookies prior to sticking the sheets in the oven but I forgot. It still tasted very good and satisfying, just not the way I had intended. Baking turned out to be a good way to get rid of my green apples that no one will eat.
