just a few days into my no-name project and i may already be ditching the baking side of the whole plan. it's not that i don't love the baking, it's more that my family isn't loving the things that i'm making. in all honesty, they're not even really liking the baked goods! they are more of the chocolate chip cookie/brownie lovers where as i'm wanting to try different recipes for muffins, cupcakes, pies, etc. so i think i'll just stick with baking muffins that everyone likes and cookies that i know will get eaten...there's less of a chance of wasting food that way!
yesterday's brownies, from a box, were not liked because i tried a turtle kind rather than the usual plain. and the cheese muffins were deemed not likeable though i'm not sure why. i also made a banana-berry smoothie, which the kids have asked me to make before, and yet neither one of them wanted more than a few sips and jordan even tried to tell me that i made it wrong! that's always nice to hear from your 4 year old...that you've done something wrong.
so, no more baking new things...kinda sad that i couldn't follow through with that, but it really does make sense that i just make the same tried and true baked goods that i know everyone will eat. i swear i live with some of the pickiest eaters! i'm all for trying new things, but the rest of the family not so much. maybe i'll throw in a new cookie or brownie recipe in the next few weeks just for my own sanity!
oh, well, gives me more time for crocheting, sewing, quilting...maybe i'll even pull out some of my unfinished cross-stitch projects. i am feeling like the queen of unfinished projects these days, maybe more crafting time is all i really need!

That is sad but like you said better to not make and not waste. My new cookies were good. They were from the same book as the devil's food sandwich cookies. Nice, quick, easy. That is me!
lovin' it! keep up the fun work, Nor. Unca' Steve
