Baking and Blogging is making me a BETTY

I met and moved in with my Husband in 2009. He was the absolute best cook. Of course me having no cooking skills, I had very little to compare to. So he done all things cooking, I would assist when needed :)

Fast forward 5 years. Hubby gets a new job working 2nd shift. We are all worried about starvation at this point. I mean I even took to begging for friends to come cook for me and my stepsons. It unfortunately was time. I HAD to learn to cook. I had to feed my family. It became a task. I rocked it LIKE A BOSS . I got so confident I was ready to move on to learning to bake. Hubs was impressed to say the least. He bought me a (Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer) .

I quickly began learning new recipes. I also quickly learned than I needed some new bake ware. I have NOTHING worthy enough for these baking creations. This is also when I learned about silicone bake ware. :)

This ( iNiebo Baking Mat) is 100% awesome.

Seriously. I LOVE these. I'm alway that mom who puts 1 too many cookies on the cookie sheet and usually end up with a LARGE cookie. This silicone non stick mat has cookie guidleines. I made the BEST cookies of my life. I'm not lying. Thwy came out perfect. NO BUT BOTTOMS!



SEE perfect store bought :) ( yes I'm still learning and these are the easy way) cookies. I'm still super impressed. I love making cookies now. Easy clean up. I just wipe down the mat and done. It is dishwasher safe as well if you wanted to choose that route. I received this product at a discount for an honest and unbiased review

Another great product any baker needs is a nice set of measuring cups and spoons. I am ALWAYS loosing the ones I have or the measurement has rubbed off and I have no clue what I'm dealing with.

This ( Joy of Kitchen Collapsible Set is awesome to have.

It has everything I need. It's a space saver since the measuring cups collapses. The spoons all slide together and the cups are stackable.



The measurements are clearly marked and not removable. No more guessing if this is or is not the correct measurement.

Now I have all this cool stuff, what's a gal to do but hit Pinterest. I'm browsing through recipes. Looking for ideas and come across one for a ( Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie).

I have all ingredients on hand PLUS I get to use my small cast iron skillet :) . Oh and did I mention my new ( Striped Hot Handle Holders)


These are great for hot skillet handles. They really help. I'm terrified of getting burnt. I hate using anything wrapped around the handle for fear of slipping. These just slide on. They are cute with the striped design. They protect upto 350°F . I received this product for free for an honest and unbiased review

After following all instructions (I did add more vanilla ) and letting my cookie set I was absolutely THRILLED . A new recipe that I just conquered. It was toddler and teenager approved. I'm feeling more and more like Betty Crocker every day :)
