Courtney in the kitchen?

So who knew that I would find a like for baking?? I don't know how it got started, but it was just in the past few weeks. I have never been good at it, seriously just ask my mom. My chocolate chip cookies usually turned out looking like dinner biscuits. I have been married now for about a year and 4 months and I STILL have not made a full, sit down, made from scratch dinner. Gasp, I know. That is unheard of here in Provo. But I own it. Tyler is the cook in our family and he is great at making up his own recipes and keeping us from starving.
It's not that I don't try, I really do. I come home with the intentions of running right into the kitchen, throwing on an apron and making a fabulous meal every night..but then I walk into the kitchen, open the pantry doors, look around, walk over to the fridge and realize that I have no idea what I'm doing. My idea of dinner is a slice of cheese and some Crystal Light. To actually put ingredients together to make a full meal just baffles me.
But it's different when I bake something. I actually get excited to see if my concoction of different things will turn into some edible.
So with my first attempt I started with a simple loaf of Banana Bread. It was incredible. Heavy, moist and the perfect mix of that salty buttery taste. In fact, it didn't even need butter. The best part of the whole thing was that Tyler tried to make the same exact thing the next week, same recipe and everything. It turned out..not so perfect. Pretty dry and a doughy section throughout the whole loaf. That boosted my ego just a little. The next day I made it again, and of course, perfection.
So now I am moving onto a multi-layer cake. Citrus Poppy seed Cake. I can't freakin wait.
