As part of my quest to try new recipes in 2012, I went to my cookbook shelf looking for a new cookie recipe. We were having a staff meeting, and what better way to experiment with a new cookie recipe than to feed them to your co-workers. In all my years of doing this, no-one has complained. 🙂
I love this time of year, as you get to sample a lot of baked goods in the office kitchen 🙂 There is nothing better than your co-workers coming in with a tray of goodies that they have prepared on the weekend, it really brings a nice holiday vibe to the office.
The role of today’s food blogger will be played by Connie’s husband, Jamie.
To the surprise of absolutely no one who knows me, I have a confession to make: I am the proud owner of an unbelievably potent sweet tooth.
I know, such a shocking revelation.
I have to admit, I don’t always bake from scratch. It’s not because I don’t want to but we don’t always have the time or all the ingredients needed on hand. There are those times when you have to cook for a pot luck at work or for your child’s school bake sale, and weeknight baking takes up a lot of time after getting dinner to the table and lunches ready for the next day.
So I am back with another baking entry. I can’t help it, the heart wants what the heart wants 🙂
Jamie and I spent 6 hours in a car yesterday, and when we got home, I really wanted something sweet and salty. Well, the best combination to satisfy that craving is made with Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
One of the benefits of growing up in the country is that we never learned of the horrors of white flour and carbohydrates until much later in life 🙂
One of my fondest food memories of my Grandma is her Homemade White Bread! My Grandma used to make dozens of loaves at a time and distribute them among the family. When I would step off the school bus I could smell the bread from the driveway! Yummy! Warm, homemade white bread topped with butter and brown sugar…delicious. It is also fabulous toasted with butter.
