In preparation for Christmas, and several pleas from Tim's family that I bring my now infamous desserts to our Christmas gathering on Christmas Day, I baked and baked on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
Here's what I brought. I'm glad I nixed the final two items off my list because we definitely didn't need them, we had so much stuff!
Peanut Butter/Chocolate Chip Bars
Chocolate Chip Bars
Brownies
Fudge
Yum. I can cook okay but don't really enjoy it too much, especially without a dishwasher. But I am decent at experimenting with baking in a way I don't feel comfortable doing with cooking outside of constant watching of The Food Network.
Do you like to bake or do you prefer to cook?
I've been craving chocolate this evening and your post doesn't help ;)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks delicious especially the fudge and the brownies! I definitely prefer baking to cooking although it is sometimes stressful when I'm trying a new or complicated recipe. This is the first year in some time that I haven't baked any holiday cookies or anything. Last year I made a red velvet cake with peppermint cream cheese frosting for Christmas (I tried to make it "healthy" but I'm not sure I succeeded. This year I made brownies from a mix for our work carry-in but that was it.
