Any Home Bakers Here?

I stumbled upon this thread and I'm impressed by that list compiled in the first post. I think I may have to try a few. Meanwhile, I'll share a link to a recipe that I recently brought to a bbq with some other BYC members in my state. They were a big hit and usually are wherever I bring them. Be warned- They are very, very sweet and addictive. They are the Knock You Naked Brownies by Ree Drummond on the Food Network.

For the bbq, I 86'd the pecans in case anyone has tree nut allergies. I also used less caramel and 86'd the powdered sugar also. JIC they may be too sweet for some folks. They're awesome either way. Enjoy!

you'r impressed...this is my guilty pleasures page...
wife and I are "eating healthy" as she puts it.  I put it this way, she goes on a diet and I get bushwhacked to go on a diet with her
Sooo, I read stuff on her and dream....sad but true. Ah for the days gone by of my wife being chunky and happy and I eat whatever can't outrun me...

The one thing my DH did for me that truly helped me lose the baby weight (better then any diet) was he started talking me into going on walks with him. We would strap the girls into the stroller and go for a 2mile walk ever afternoon. I lost weight like crazy and we could still indulge in some goodies occasionally
It was great because it also gave DH and I time without phones and facebook to just talk

Ah now you've done it, I've got guilt! OK so I'll do the diet with her and not grumble...(grumble) She can't do TOO much walking on account of her hip and knee don't line up properly..Lord knows I hate the humidity here...but I suppose I can see if she'd like to take a few laps around the mall...she likes doing that...

her's lil Boo and her finely forming mohawk. Ain't she a speckled cutie! Poppin's not as...Einsteinish and she's a running blur most of the time. Hard to photograph

This is true.

Try to only grease the bottom and not the sides of the pan, that is what my home ec teacher taught us to do to get flat cakes
Lol or eat them, because you really should test the cake before serving it to others

I agree with the grease the bottom only...mine turn out nice like that also.
