In 2011, I moved across the state to live with my husband (we spent a year of our marriage living apart while I finished grad school and he worked) and work as a speech-language pathologist at a small school in Cincinnati. The first weekend in our new place, we decided to have some friends over for HFP, or
Happytime Fun Porch, in which friends come over for a happy hour on our porch. At this time, a friend had introduced me to Bakerella and I just had to make her
pillow cookies. Our friends were so impressed by a brownie stuffed into a cookie that I decided to bake for each HFP. Then the school year started and I began baking for our monthly Special Ed Team Meetings.
It was so nice that so many people could enjoy my baking. My husband likes baked good, but never more than a taste. So if I make a tray of brownies, he'll eat one or two and I'm the one stuck eating the rest. My thighs don't appreciate this. Through friends and coworkers, I have found an outlet to try new recipes and also buffer any weight gain, since I enjoy baking too much to stop.
I hope you enjoy the recipes I share. Please feel free to leave comments, questions, or suggestions.
