This graphic is so funny to me because I don’t bake.
I have a confession that many of you have already heard from me. I cannot bake. I mean I can bake {sort of} but I don’t like to. I’m terrible at it. I burn things or mess them up.
Baking requires measuring and precision with ingredients and perfect timing {I don’t posses such skills}. It just doesn’t work for me. I’m the type to buy store-bought, write a check or choose a really easy dessert when it comes to bringing something for the bake sale or a party.
It’s funny that as a mommy I feel completely obligated to teach my children to bake. My Grandma Lil baked anything and everything. My mom, sister, in-laws {and even my husband} are all good at baking. Shouldn’t I be passing on this skill? Isn’t that what stay-at-home mom’s do?
I do try to get the kids in the kitchen to bake from time to time but honestly I don’t enjoy it. I want to know what is wrong with me???? ahh hahh hah! I could cry.
Okay. Not really.
But seriously. Let’s hope that someday I can find the strength to use my brain in such a way. In the meantime…
Here are a few of my favorite no-bake desserts:
THESE coffee & ice cream floats are great…so is the FALL ice cream dessert
Squirrel Mix {aka: Muddy Buddies}
And because you don’t have to measure perfectly I also love THESE anytime goodies!
Finally, notice that THESE tips for baking with kids mention to just have Daddy do it! That works for us!
What kind of recipes do you enjoy that don’t need baking skills?
Don’t forget to mention all the amazing things you cook!!! Justin doesn’t like to bake because you have to measure everything too, but cooking, a little bit of this and that! Love you Laura!!!
