My Sticky Sweet Hubby and His sticky Caramel Buns... oops I Mean Rolls

This is me... this is what I do. I create and create unfortunately my canvas is the kitchen. I came up with hands down the best of the best of my caramel frosting/icing recipes today much to hubby and kids delight. Much to my chagrine :(

I am not going to stop being me... baking, sewing, cooking, creating, crafting, mothering... feeding my troops just because I have an eating problem. I am going to have to figure out how to live side by side with it. I dont have to eat it all just because its there. This one was my sticky caramel cinnomon roll.

My 4 year old son enjoying his portion ... gosh I love that sticky lil smirk.

And then heres hubby, on his day off enjoying that which he requested this morning. Ummmm yeah... thats just for him.... Its kinda hard with all of them around me but I did a remarkable thing today. I only had one. As addicting as they are and OMGaaaaawwwwddddd was that frosting the best thats ever come outta this kitchen I only had one. Not typically me. Maybe something is changin'...





Here is my hubby... not an ounce on him ... grrrrrrrrrr.... So today's challenge for me didn't end up being exercise or weight issues at all. The challenge was in finding the balance with who I really am, and who I envision myself to be. The two aren't exclusive.

I literally hooked this guy on our first date by baking two pies (one for after dinner as dessert and one to take home so my name would quite literally be on the tip of his tongue ;) and making him a home cooked meal instead as tradition would dictate he taking me out to eat. Restaurants are over rated. He purposed in less than a month, Ive been cooking for him ever since... the rest is history.
