I love to bake, always have. This could be a blessing or a downfall. I have been baking a lot of apple crisps and chocolate cakes lately. Luckily I am not eating as much as I bake - I keep trying to give them away but people don't except gifts of food without a look of "are you going to poison me?". Well, yesterday I enjoyed baking another apple crisp and then my daycare kids and I walked it up to the grain mill. Now they know how to appreciate a gift of food. We got a lot of thank yous and smiles. Nothing makes you feel better than doing what you love and getting gratitude in return for it. And, it isn't in my kitchen tempting me to eat it!!!!

    I love to bake too! In fact, I am in the process of starting my own bakery, and am in the testing phases of some original recipes. We have so much baked goods around, I take it in to my work, send it with my husband to his work, with my mom to her work....we cannot possibly have 2 dozen brownies, 36 cupcakes, mounds of cookies, etc around all at once! Better to give it away than let it go bad!

    I also bake, and I find I don't have a craving for the things I make so much. I give away my baked goods to friends, or bring them to work and leave them there for whomever to find. I find joy in the process of baking as well as that it makes people happy.
