New Year....new recipes...new hobby?

So I have a goal to learn or try new things in the kitchen. This past week or two I have been in love with trying recipes from Deceptively Delicious. A cook book my sister in law Tiffany sent me months ago.


I'll admit,I was afraid of the unknown and the new ideas she has in the cookbook! When Eric was gone in Jan. I watched Julie and Julia...not being the brave soul that Julie was I didn't think or want to do what she did. But in some odd place in my brain it looked fun and challenging! Something to make the days different. Maybe I need hobby!
Many of you know that I enjoy cooking and baking, there is something satisfying about seeing your finished product and better yet, having it devoured by your family! So, I have tried new things and my family to my amazement ate it all...Eric has been out of town, so it has been the prefect time to try something new.
So far we have made brownies with spinach and carrots, breakfast cake with squash (this is the only one we didn't love, I know what I need to do to make it great!), peanut butter with carrots, chocolate and cream cheese, sloppy joes with sweet potato and squash, peanut butter and jelly muffins with carrots, lemon ice cream sandwiches, chicken nuggets with broccoli, and in the oven right now is ginger bread with broccoli and carrots and it smells GREAT!!!

This soup I am going to try next week. It look so good.


Lemon Ice cream sandwiches....yummy!
