Baking addiction

Every pregnancy is different as with every child. My third is no exception. I don't remember having morning sickness in my first two pregnancies. This time, my 'morning sickness' lasted the whole day. Fortunately, it went away in my 5th month. But then, I'm still coping with the daily headache and fatigue. Ah well, these discomforts are just minor issues. Pregnancy only lasts 40 weeks, and I'm enjoying every minute of it, the special attention, people seems to be nicer to you everywhere you go, feeling my little one moves and kicks. ..

Despite the nausea and headache, I developed a ferocious appetite and tend to be hungry most of the time. I started baking to satisfy my craving for sweet things. My baking addiction kicked into high gear in the past few weeks. There has been no shortage of cakes at home. My two little girls love to 'help out' and having a blast in the kitchen. Cooking with them can be a real challenge though...as there's definitely gonna be a big mess afterwards. But its good to start involving them early. I can see that my girls have now developed a big interest in cooking. They even have their own mini baking set.

With so many wonderful recipe blogs nowadays, baking ideas are just a click away! I became a follower of some of these blogs and found amazing recipes of cakes and bread that are surprisingly easy to make and produce delicious results. Will add the link to those sites later...hmmm...perhaps I could also share some of the recipes that I have personally tested here.
