The magic of baking

There is something about baking cookies that I find kind of magical... How butter, sugar and flour can create such amazing things...  besides does three basic ingredients plus spices, and other things... a few minutes in the oven... they come out looking great and I may add delicious LOL... I really don't understand... Probably it has something to do with chemistry but I've never had to much interest in that... That just makes the experience a little confusing...so I have to say I really LOVE baking cookies... in general cooking... but it's almost Christmas so what better gift than a nice assortment of baked goods??!

What a good feeling is giving something that took you many hours to make and then receiving excellent comments about your work... It's definitely worth all the hard work!!... Now I understand why artists love what they do... I'm not calling myself an artist... just a amateur cook and a foodie.

And since I'm talking about cooking and baking I have to declare myself a complete FOODIE... So if you are wondering what is a foodie... A foodie is a person who loves food, loves cooking it, eating it and researching about it!... The term describes me perfectly!... So like a good foodie I have to be fan of something... I think I'm one of Martha Stewart´s biggest fans LOL... She has the greatest recipes ever... and you can never get them wrong... that's amazing! I want to be just like Martha... very succesful by doing what she loves... just not with the going to jail part!

So to keep track of my happiness project... definitely baking and cooking has to be on the list and declaring myself a foodie is a big step to being happier!
