Mashed Potatoes with Bacon?...Ummm Yes Please!!!

Okay so I just spent like 30 minutes typing out all these recipes and posting pics only to hit the wrong button and have to entire thing erased. So here it goes again. I had some free time this week so I thought I would get myself into the Daring Baker/Cook mindset. I made my way over to Mom's and commandeered her Kitchen Aid mixer and got to work. I made a fabulous dinner, some peach cobbler with fresh peaches, seasoned chicken, roasted veggies, twice baked mashed potatoes and choc chip cookies. Everything turned out great and I was a happy camper. Here's some pics to show you the results. Let me know if you want recipes.

So excited!!!

So after a crazy few months I have decided I needed and outlet. Something I love that helps me let out my frustrations in a fun way. I have decided to bake! I registered with Daring Bakers this morning. On the first of September I will get my first secret recipe. I then have til until the 27Th of September to make said recipe and take pictures of it. On the 27Th I will post on here and reveal what I made and how it turned out. Pretty fun right? I am super excited because I love baking and creating pretty desserts. It's going to be a great way to relieve my stress. As you all know stressed spelled backwards is desserts!!!! In the mean while I am going to make some fun, yummy things at home to hone my skills before my challenge next month. Another bonus to all of this is my new roommate Jennifer loves to bake too so we'll can do some roommate bonding while baking. Plus her boyfriend, Travis, loves sweets but HATES that they make him gain weight so it's kind of fun to torment him. I'll keep you guys updated.
