2nd May, 2015We successfully finished our Month long Baking Marathon and it was a great experience. This marathon gave me a chance to try my hands on several new breads and bakes. The book marks list has grown so much that we need a marathon to make those. Thanks to the BM team and Srivalli for making this happen month after month.
I have the complete list of all the bakes that I have done this month. Click on the picture or the recipe name and it will take you to that particular recipe. Also there is a link up at the end of the page if you want to see what my team baked for this month.

A wonderful one pan dinner made with phyllo sheets and spinach filling.
Ginger cookies made with whole wheat flour, cocoa and hint of ginger and frosted by my kids.
Day 5 - Semolina Bread / Semolina sandwich loaf

Day 7 - Breadsticks / Olive Garden style garlic breadsticks
We love the breadsticks that they serve at the Italian restaurant and this is my effort to recreate that at home. I have to say we will not go to the restaurant again to eat these breadsticks.
