My Joy of Baking

I never really attended formal baking lesson but I knew few recipes and mastered how to do it. I've learned baking by watching my favorite weekend tv show way back when I was still single.

It's been quite sometime now since I rolled a dough, made pastries and try to bake other goodies so I never really enhances the skills since I focused more on taking care of my son and do home study with him everyday. But now I want this passion back, I am really eager to bake again and try new recipe something that I haven't done before. My motivation is my son of course. He will go to big school next year and I want to make homemade bake goodies for him for his snack to avoid unhealthy food that he can buy at school.

My son doesn't really like sweets so I'm kinda make everything less sugar, few of his favorites are muffins, cupcake, oatmeal cookie and apple cinnamon pie. I've been searching for easy recipes for this and other that can be a good snack for him. I am very happy to found resources over the web and I will sure try to make it one of this days. I'll be posting some of the recipe and finish products once I've tried it myself.

Happy baking!

Blogs

As I religously reading the blog post of the blogs I am following, I realized that I haven't updated my own blog for months now..hmmmm.. I wonder why?

Well I've been busy and preoccupied the previous months but now I will have ample time to update this blog once in a while.

Reading blogs during past time has been my everyday routine. The blogs that I am following by women of modern aged has thought me a lot, inspired me and showed me the world through there experiences, pictures, tips, etc shared and showed in their post. There just in a way showing the different character and role of  every women now a days.

MTB Pro

My husband is into mountain biking and I know how much he loves the sport. So when he asked me to buy him this book I search it immediately at Amazon.com and glad to find a good deal for it.

The book is basically about how you can improve your moves on track. We'll, if I will be given a chance I might give myself a time to read it so I will know what is the hubby talking about when he made stories about his day on the track. 

I know he will learn a lot from this book with new technique, styles; and bike like pro same with his favorite mountain biker Brian Lopes.
