Instructions:
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, walnuts, currants or raisins, if using, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrot, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 35 minutes.

Pie Filling Ingredients:
Instructions:
Pie Crust: Place all dry ingredients in a food processor, pulse until all are combined. Add in the butter, making sure not to handle butter too much to keep it from warming up. Pulse until it appears like a dry sand mixture. Slowly add the ice water, pulse one more time.
Place the dough on a board or counter, press it all until you mold it into a ball, or square, cover it and place it in the fridge for 2 hrs or overnight.
Pie Filling: In a pan, melt the butter on med-high, as it begins to zimmer, add the flour, whisk in the sugar and water, bring to a boil, lower the heat, until it becomes the consistency of honey. In a separate bowl, add the apple slices, once sauce is cooled a bit, add it to the apples, along with the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Fold all ingredients together.
Then… Roll out the pie crust to your desired size, place on the pie plate, add filling, decorate it as you wish. Preheat the oven to 425°. Place pie in the oven for 15 minutes. Then, without opening the oven, lower heat to 350° and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

Instructions:
Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/4 cup of the warm water and allow it to proof. In a large bowl, mix 5 cups of flour and the salt. Make a well in the center and add the remaining 1-1/2 cups warm water, the butter, the Tabasco, and the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula or with your floured hands until the dough is well amalgamated. Turn out on a heavily floured board (use 1/2 cup flour) and knead for 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and rather satiny in texture and all the flour on the board is absorbed; add flour if you need it. Place the dough in a buttered or oiled bowl and turn to coat on all sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, 1-1/2 to 2 hours or slightly more.
Punch down the dough, turn it out on a lightly floured board, and knead in the cheeses. When thoroughly blended, cut the dough in half and let rest for 10 minutes, then roll out each half into a rectangle about 11 x 6 inches and let rest for 2 or 3 minutes more. Roll each triangle up, pinching the edges as you do so, and tucking in the ends so that the loaf measures about 4-1/2 x 7-1/2 inches. Place the dough in two well buttered tins, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until the bread has reached the top of the tin, or slightly higher, or has more or less doubled in size.
Bake on the center of the middle rack of a preheated 375° oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when removed from the tins and rapped with the knuckles on both top and bottom. Bake directly on the oven rack, without the tins, for a few minutes to firm the crust. Cool the bread on racks before slicing.

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan – set aside. Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda) into a large bowl. Combine canola oil, egg, orange juice, and orange peel in a separate large bowl. Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Fold in raisins, chopped fresh cranberries and walnuts into the mixture. Pour mixture into greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350°, or until a toothpick in center comes out clean. *BAKING TIP* If the bread is browning on top but is still wet on the inside, cover with aluminum foil and continue to bake until the inside is dry/cooked through.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to whatever instructions are on the brownie mix box. 350° works well. Make the brownie mix in a separate bowl. Follow the directions on the box. Add the chocolate chips to the brownie mix. Stir them in and set the bowl and set to the side. Mix the pumpkin, cream cheese (softened), sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in another bowl. Mix until very smooth. Spray your pan with cooking spray before starting. Pour half of the brownie mix into the pan and spread out so the entire bottom of the pan is covered. Next add the pumpkin. You can either spoon the pumpkin filling onto the brownie in chunks or spread it out evenly. Cover the pumpkin with the rest of the brownie batter and smooth out the top.
Now you’re ready to bake! Since you’re adding some depth with the pumpkin mix, you’ll need to cook a bit longer than what the box mix says (~12 extra minutes for the pan I used). To check if brownies are done, dip a fork into the middle of the brownies. If the fork comes out clean, they’re done!
