It's a new season, summer is quickly fading away, the days are getting shorter and it's getting dark earlier, holiday plans are being discussed, Christmas lists are being created/distributed, and this all puts me in the mood to BAKE!!!
Ok, so, well last year I was a little, no actually I was A LOT pregnant and cooking was not something I did (at all). Ugh! Ok, I did help Dave with Thanksgiving dinner (barely), but I sat on a stool and had to take lots of breaks (naps) throughout the day. Seriously, Dave pretty much cooked the whole dinner - I love that guy! This year, I'm going to make up for all the baking I didn't do last year. In fact, I'm going to actually try to be good at it :) Everyone who knows me knows this about me:
1. I HATE to cook
2. I'm no good at it (which is probably why I hate it)
But "cooking" and "baking", in my book, are two completely different things, AND what they don't know (I think) is that I actually DO like to bake. I just don't do it well (usually), which pisses me off and then I don't enjoy it. But I know I can bake well if I plan ahead, take my time, and keep a positive attitude!
I found this website - http://www.joyofbaking.com/ It has a lot of great fall recipes, and I especially like it because along with the recipe are baking tips (I can use all the help I can get!). Here's a picture of a pumpkin cheesecake that looks really yummy:
