On a Happy Note

I think I'm rediscovering my love of being in the kitchen. While I've not tried my hand at baking desserts from scratch, I have tried biscuits. It's been about 4 months since the last time I attempted the garlic cheese biscuits, and the only thing I've really forgotten is the amount of Garlic. Thought I'd over garliced them but it turns out I hadn't. Still, going to give it another try once I have more flour and milk. So soon :)

Another thing I might try soon is Brownie pie. Simple recipe with lots of sugar. And I might try the mountain dew or dr. pepper cupcakes. And homemade cream cheese frosting. Going to have to get those recipes back first though. I can't wait, really. I missed cooking.

Anyways, I made chicken and dumplings from scratch (well, almost. Biscuit dough for dumplings, though I wanted to use the homemade biscuit dough... I just ran out of flour). Forgot the chicken broth, but managed to season it enough that I didn't need the broth. Needed something to cut down the pepper bite, but whatever. I like mine a little peppery. :) Now, if anyone can give me some advice about how to make my stroganoff a little creamier, I'd be sooooo happy.

So, there's my happy note. Cooking and baking.
