It's no news to anyone in my family that I'm not a great cook or baker. My household meals consist of things that are easy, fast, and cheap. Examples: hamburger helper, spaghetti, and fast food. Hahahaha. My baking skills consist of ummm......cupcakes but those are fool proof so that doesn't count. Lol. I seriously think I may have a baking curse. Every cake I have ever baked comes out lopsided or sunken in. No joke. But this got me thinking......Shouldn't I love to cook if I enjoy taking cooking classes? (I took cooking all through high school and a few classes in college.) Answer: I like taking cooking classes because they have every supply you could ever think of or need if a recipe called for it. So, I bought myself a new knife set (Target $54.99) and a Kitchenaid mixer (Costco $179.99) to make myself feel better and also to convince myself that I could learn to love to cook and bake. Lol. Thank you taxes :)
Vili thought I was ridiculous for buying the Kitchenaid but I told him if I don't use as often as I think will in 90 days then I'll return it. That means I have to be on a baking marathon starting....last week! LOL! I finally used it today to make banana bread. I'm no Betty Crocker but it turned out pretty dang good! I got the recipe from thefreshloaf.com. You can click on the link if you want to try it out. Mine's a little lopsided but I think the curse will go away with practice. Lol!
