I have an answer for you!!
I love to bake…seriously, love! I daydream about baking and I fall asleep thinking about new cupcake flavors to try. It’s a good thing I currently work as a baker otherwise all this stuff would be sitting around my house constantly…although, I don’t think the Hubster would complain too much. On the other end of the spectrum, I am currently forcing myself to like cooking. I’m not sure if it is the lack of ideas and prep work or the whole process itself, I just really don’t enjoy cooking.
This is my logic:
1. Most ingredients in baking don’t have an ick factor. Raw meat…ick.
2. I have never come across any dessert/baking recipe that stinks. I cannot stand the way onions and the process of frying makes the house stink for a week.
3. I feel like when you cook, you run the risk of killing someone…ok, maybe not kill, but food poisoning… salmonella….see #1. Raw eggs are the only thing I can think of in baking that could possibly make you sick…but seriously, who actually does??
4. I have never met a baked good that I didn’t like. I am a super crazy picky eater when it comes to non-dessert food…and it is easier and more fun to make food you actually enjoy
5. You wouldn’t think so, but it is incredibly difficult to find a recipe without mayonnaise…which is quite possibly the most disgusting food on earth…it is solid fat…it jiggles…and have you seen it when it sits there for a couple minutes….making me nauseous just thinking about it
So, anyhoos…Oven Loven is my space to let you know what I’m making in the kitchen, what I’m thinking about trying, triumphs and total flops. I hope you are hungry!
