...and this is why i don't bake

godblessourhome

i love to cook! i love to try new recipes and make substitutions - just throw things together and whip something culinary up.
i don't love to bake. in fact, i hate having to be 'exact' on ingredients and measurements. i will rarely be in the mood to bake.

today i woke up in the mood to bake (a once-a-quarter or less occurrence). o.O as the questions 'what is wrong with me?' and 'why now?' pop into my head, i made brownies, zucchini cake with cream cheese frosting, pumpkin banana muffins and rice krispies bars. next up, butter cookies.

uh oh. better put my willpower pants on.

Lol...I hate to cook...the kitchen is my worst enemy

lol. i think i need to step away from the kitchen. i made some carrot cake cupcakes with a lemon frosting and i'm thinking about making a pineapple upside down cake. also i want popcorn balls!

i'm not admitting to anything, but i might be a binge baker... is there a support group for that?

Willpower pants? Where can I get a pair of these?

I love baking too - I try to give the stuff away. Definitely can't keep it in the house.

Same here - love to cook, rarely bake - and it's all because you can't play around with ingredents when baking. One time I tried combining a recipe for peanut butter cookies with a recipe for chocolate chip cookies...the result was a big melty greasy mess! Tasted great but had to be frozen in order to be eaten. And pretty much every time I attempt to bake snickerdoodles they turn out half burnt.
