I love to bake. My kids love to help me bake. This has both its ups and downs. The "up" is that it's a great way to hang out and do something with my kids that doesn't involve a screen. Another "up" is that it's teaching them about measuring, fractions, cooking, baking, and lots of other life skills that will serve them well in the future. However, there are a few "downs" as well. Once you've baked, your goodies are in your house. They smell and look delicious. Herein lies the dilemma...
Yesterday afternoon we made No Bake Cookies. I love eating No Bakes as much as I love to make them. So, what do I do when 3 dozen yummy cookies sit on my counter calling my name? Naturally, I give them away! Now, I won't pretend to be so strong that I didn't eat any, because I did. I had 3 of them. But that's it. I did save 8 for the kids and hubby to eat today and tomorrow. But the rest have been packed up and are on their way to work with my husband! It's the best of both worlds. I can bake to my heart's content and my husband's co-workers love me. Win-win!
