I think I have a serious problem. I have always enjoyed baking and for years I have had the benefit of being able to make said baked goods disappear by bringing them into the office. Everyone loved when I had found a new recipe I had to try or was in the mood for something. I was quite proud that people "hated" me because they couldn't walk by my office and not stop in for some of whatever I had brought it and I would ruin whatever diet they happened to be on. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well, times have changed. I have two problems now. The first being, the sweet tooth I have always had, somehow managed to get worse and I have lost most of the self control I had prior to pregnancy. The second being, when I am in the mood to bake (which is often) because I want a little something sweet, there is no easy outlet for making the baking disappear after. This results in me eating most of what I made... not a good idea!
In the last two weeks I have made banana muffins with cream cheese frosting (twice - but in my defense we had a few bananas that were beyond the point of me being willing to eat them but perfect for baking), chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and the latest culprit is chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (absolutely delicious!!!)...
At least I try to modify recipes, where possible, to make a smaller batch... that makes it ok, right?
So, I think I need some kind of rehab or intervention to keep me from entering the kitchen when I get in the mood to bake. It doesn't help that I have also regularly been making rolls/biscuits/pasta for dinner because they complement our dinners and make them so much better!! I think I need some serious help... fast...
