This Might Take Awhile.....

I'm so behind in my blogging so here I go......I've gotten the baking bug lately.  I found (or was introduced) to a couple of different cooking/baking blogs and I've fallen in love.  They have very simple directions and I've learned a lot about how to do different things, how different things taste or affect what I'm making.  I'm sure Josh is not complaining about having some different dinner options lately.  I've also learned some new decorating tips like the cookies you see below.  I made these for our family Christmas get together.  It was fun to practice and play around with different techniques.

 I've also been baking bread in different forms and flavors.  The benefit of making dinner rolls for Thanksigiving and Christmas has been some leftover dough that can be used as cinnamon rolls.  So Yummy!  And I've finally figured out the secret (ok apparently it was only a secret to ME) to the BEST cinnamon roll icing ever!  Josh is definitely pleased with this one!
 And I sort of baked THIS one.
