Bake!!

I started classes a month or so ago. Sadly, I'm only taking math classes for this first term. The pastry classes don't start until August and I would definitely rather get my math out of the way.

In the meantime, I've been baking a few things here and there.
I made grilled peaches today and drizzled a little bit of honey on top of them, super yummy! 
Grilled Peaches!!!!

They were quite yummy, even babygirl enjoyed them! :)

Honestly, most of my recipes come from Pinterest. I have found some amazing desserts and dinners on Pinterest! 
Like the next few:

I made a peach upside down cake a few weeks back! It was....AH-MAZ-ING. 


                                                           Beautiful!
If you want the recipe, I found it here (thank you Pinterest). It was really simple to make. The hardest part was peeling and cutting the peaches! :/ 

I made a Jello Poke cake. Momma LOVES it. I used black cherry jello and vanilla pudding, but it would be super fun to change up both the jello and the pudding flavors.  This cake is a great summer party cake, it is so light and fluffy and almost melts in your mouth! Yum.

This blog is all about baking but I like to cook sometimes too. Baking interests me more because of the precision of it. Cooking to me can be willy-nilly sometimes with a little bit of this and a little more of that, and I'm not too great at doing all of that. Baking is easy. It's all there in front of you and I like that. 
But I did grill some sweet potatoes with a cilantro lime "rub." I didn't use three sweet potatoes, that was way too many. But I would recommend making more of the salt and lime zest "rub," I felt like there wasn't enough even for the two sweet potatoes that I used. But they sure did taste good!

I can't wait to bake more and start my pastry classes in August! :)
