I found a new recipe this weekend on pinterest that I had to try. So, I brought it to my office pumpkin carve tonight. It was delicious, it's really bad for you, but really good.
I decided on Thursday night that I was going to bake holiday treats for the neighbors this year. I would say that I love baking, and I do, but I HATE the clean up. So that automatically takes me from love to like. My baking experience this weekend was delightful. I'm not just saying that because I feel like a real-life Betty Crocker right now, I'm saying it because I had no major issues, malfunctions, fires, or misread of directions. I started Friday afternoon, took a break for Zumba class, made dinner, and finished up with round one around 11 pm. Got up Saturday morning, hoping to clean, but again - was ready to bake. So I did. I think most of my success is based on my decision not to bake completely from scratch. I had the help of Betty Crocker. I used their cookie mixes, and they saved me tons of time. I used the mix and added on! Oh and the cake balls were something new and fun and I can't wait to make more.
