Too hot to bake

Notice how I haven't made any cupcakes lately? Or anything in the oven for that matter.....

OK I admit I was a little burnt out from making almost 200 mini cupcakes for my cousin's wedding. Not that I regret making them AT ALL, just that can you blame me for not wanting to see another cupcake for a little while?

I feel GUILTY that I have been neglecting my new hobby, and that I haven't tried anything new or exciting lately. My list of new ones I want to try: Cinnamon Toast, Lemon Drop and Chai Tea. Mmmmmmm. Not sure when I am going to get around to doing those, this baby in my belly seems to be taking a lot of my energy, and the one that is up and running around seems to be taking a lot of my time. He's not much of a baby anymore I suppose. Sniff, sniff.....tear, tear....

I have been reading a lot of recipe blogs and websites lately and I want to make everything. I feel like Terry and I cook the same 25 things for supper all the time and I need some new tried and true recipes to add to our rotation. Suggestions welcome!!!

Some of these baking/cooking blogs I have been reading are absolutely amazing. They must blog for a living, because seriously when does a normal person have time to not only bake something amazing once a week, but take pictures of the process and write about it in an interesting way. See my blog list on the side for the ones I subscribe to.

Not only do I want to try new recipes, but I want to have an ARSENAL of amazing baking recipes at my disposal. I don't just want to make blueberry muffins, I want them to be THE BEST *&#*$ BLUEBERRY MUFFINS YOU HAVE EVER TASTED. You can't just search "best blueberry muffins ever" as often the recipes with "best" in the title turn out to be not even "kind of good blueberry muffins". I think the only way to do this is try a zillion recipes until you find one that is awesome. I don't have time for this.

Working is for chumps. I am quitting my job to make amazing things in my kitchen all day. I'm sure Terry won't mind taking on another 3 jobs to pay the mortgage.
