I Want to Try Baking Again
I participate in the Food Friday food photo meme every Friday in my other GreenBucks blog which I feature food that we have had, either bought and eaten in a restaurant or prepared and cooked at home.
If I have enough time, I would prefer trying new recipes for my family instead of the usual food preparation that we have for our daily meals.
One thing that I would want to try would be baking.
We do bake sometimes but we just use the ready-mix cookie recipes in boxes so I do not particularly enjoy these because the mix is just too sweet. Matter of fact I have a container of brownie mixture waiting to be baked. I would rather do some measuring and mixing even if I have to buy the materials for this.
I have always been fascinated with baking, having enrolled in a baking course one summer many, many years ago. I have tried doing chiffon cake, cookies, mango pie, dough for pizza and siopao and a host of other things like making sugar flowers and decorating celebratory cakes.
One thing that I would like to try would be muffins and cupcakes for my children’s snacks. Loaf bread would be nice too, as well as cornbread dressing or maybe, pandesal.
No, I do not want to be a pastry chef because that would probably be the farthest thing in my mind. I just want to try to do things from scratch so that I can serve healthier food for my family.
And besides, serving warm and freshly baked goodies would be great, isn’t it?

you’re so right about ready-mix cookies and cakes. they’re very sweet but they’re the only ones i make because they’re so easy to do
I agree, Korky, sweet though these are, they are easy to use. I may start making pancakes and cookies from scratch once I am able to purchase baking utensils. And use all the ready-made mix boxes in my cabinet
