The girls and I love to go to the library, there's always something fun to read. I, personally, never head to the "fiction" section, but straight to the "how-to" section. Cook books, gardening, crafts, those are the books I like to read. On our last visit I found a new baking book. I was looking for new cake flavors to try and this one looked promising.
a passion for Baking

So, my advice is head on over to your nearest library and see if they have this book. If you're looking at any of the libraries near us, they probably don't because I have it. I promise to finish it soon and get it turned in on time. :o) They do have it on Amazon for sale, and I noticed that Marcy has her own website and blog where you can get some of her recipes for free. I think this book would be a great gift for a new bride or someone going off to college (that has access to an oven). As I mentioned before, even with 20+ years of baking under my belt (does it show?) I've really learned quite a lot from this book. Come to think of it, it would make a great anniversary gift for a certain someone later on this month (hint, hint, Honey ;o).
So what new recipes have you tried lately? I'd love to hear from you.

This is one of those library books that I may have to go out and purchase for myself. It has some wonderfully yummy looking recipes in it that I can't wait to try, but this is not an ordinary cook book. The first chapter, Baking Secrets, is full of tips and hints to wonderful baking. I consider myself an experienced baker so I almost skipped over this chapter completely, but some of the pictures and subtitles drew me in and I decided it was worth a thorough reading. Wow! I've learned quite a lot in that one chapter. Then, Marcy adds lots of tidbits of information with each of the recipes to help you customize the recipe for your own. I am now in the process of reading this cook book from cover to cover.
Since I have a LOT of blackberries right now, I decided to try the Fresh Blackberry Streusel-Topped Muffins last Saturday. They were delicious! Most of the muffin recipes I've tried end up kind of dry-especially any left-overs, but these were quite moist, with a wonderful, crunchy topping. I just finished off the last one with my lunch today and it was still moist and delicious. :o)
