Baking Challenge


This baby must like cookies! I have been baking everyday, and can't seem to stop eating what I bake. YIKES! Luckily, my husband has also developed quite a sweet tooth. Call it sympathy eating, or sympathy weight gain, but he can't manage to keep his hands out of the cookie jar either!


I loved the movie, Julie & Julia, and I also love anything Martha Stewart. So, I've decided to challenge myself and bake every recipe in Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. This may not seem like a daunting challenge, but this baby has been making me quite tired lately! I am going to bake one recipe from her book every other day, starting on Monday, March 8th. There are 171 recipes in the book, so this should be quite a challenge. I hope to learn some new techniques, and learn new recipes that I can serve at parties. Hopefully, I won't gain too much weight!
What do you think about my challenge?
