About Me

Arlington, Texas, United States
I am a 32 Year old woman who has found herself in a rut! I am not understood by my family or myself for that matter! I am going to take 365 days to try to get back to knowing myself, trying to love myself, and get an all around understanding of what I want from life outside of everyone elses needs! 2014 should be a year to remember!

Mission to bake - Blueberry & Mixed Berry Streusel Muffins


Blueberry Streusel  Muffins


Everybody who knows me knows that I love that my grandma taught me how to bake, and I love that she gave me the same amount of love that she had for baking as well as cooking!

I baked muffins for my job from scratch! That is right folks from scratch! No easy box mix!!! Just measured out ingredients, and a lot of love!

I think that everyone loved them! I made 4 dozen, and I did not have any to bring back home! So all in all I would say that I did a pretty darn good job!

Mixed Berry Streusel Muffins

Thank you God for giving me the passion to bake, and thank you for giving me my grandma!

Becca's Party

My sister-in-laws birthday is here, and the family decided to through her a birthday party!  We had a great time, and I have to say that it was an awesome way to see all of the family.  We talked about the old days over good food, good fun, and good company!  I made some of the best Red Velvet Cupcakes that I have made to date!

They were Spicy Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing!  They were a big hit, and I am happy that everyone enjoyed them!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA!

Crappy Food

I ate the most fenominal bread this morning at work that my co-worker's daughter made!  I mean this stuff could have possibly been filled with crack!  That is how good it was!  I wanted more when I was watching TV this evening in the bed, and the bread was CALLING ME!!!!  OMG!!!!  CALLING ME!!!!

My co-workers daughter told me that it was a quite simple thing to do!  You know make bread., and I thought WHY NOT! 

So ok lets go back to the lunch room today where I had a conversation about how horrible the perservatives in the food that we consume everyday!  All the fast food, all the chips, dips, soda, and just plan old junk food!  I mean we consume some crappy food!

So I told my husband maybe we should get back to the basics!  Maybe we should stop relying on wal-mart, and depend on our local producers to get our food so that we can get the freshest of the fresh!  Why not make my own breads?  Why not stop eating processed food? 

So here I go!  NEW PROJECT ladies and gentleman!  I am going to research going I guess kind of green if that is what you call it!  My husband thinks that I am crazy, and that I can not stick to anything that I do!  Well, I will show you all that I can change!!!!! 

#1. Research!

Cross your fingers folks because it is going to be a bumpy ride!
