Maybe it's my age that is leading me to share a couple of thoughts as to why I think my cooking and baking have improved greatly over the years. As I approach my 40th birthday I've come realize it is nessary to take those extra steps in investing into certain ingredits that really can make the meal be as tasty as those Facebook post you see. For instance vanilla..I think a good vanilla can make a difference in those chocolate chip cookies we all love. Also fresh brown eggs..something about the rich dark yolk makes a big difference. And butter..a real good butter does wonders. I also enjoy in experimenting in different spices and I'm learning to not to have a heavy hand with them but be generous enough to give flavor. Also I've learned a good cast iron skillet can do wonders. I'm still learning with my cast irons but I got to tell you once you have figured out what is a good temp to cook in them and how to season them and wash them there really great to use. Fall is around the corner and the ideas that are flooding my brain right now have me excited for the season to arrive. My boys are out for our homecoming football game and I'm home alone with our dogs and just felt like sharing a bit. Hope you all have good evening.
