Becoming a baker!

I decided to become a better wife, and take a cluster in culinary arts up at the University, & I am loving it! Dan of course is loving it too, because he always gets to have something to eat up at school. So now I just love to make things! If anyone has any good recipes that they want to share let me know. They kind of have to be a little easy because well I am just a beginner, but i want to get really good, like my mom! This was my first attempt to make french bread, and it turned out great! i was actually really suprised. Now i know you are all probably like its not that hard, but for me, cooking doesn't come first hand, So this is an accomplishment.

Then I decided to make some banana bread, from a recipe that my sister megs has posted on her blog and it turned out so good! Dan even said it was better than his own mothers. It feels so good to be able to do something better than a mans own mother!!

Last of this blog entry is a sugar cookie recipe with the frosting. My friend Amber gave it to me to try and Holy cow they are so good! so give them a try and let me know how they taste! they are really easy to make and no refrigeration is involved, like other recipes! SO TRY IT!
