Ok everyone I am back with my obsession with Greek yogurt! The other day my daughters and I were talking and they asked me what I preferred baking or cooking.

Hmmmm  that’s a tough one I really enjoy them both. I actually find cooking easier because I never measure anything. Just a little of this and a little of that. Until it all tastes pretty darn good.

That is until I started a food blog of course and then I had to start measuring everything.

So I guess if I had to pick one, today I would say baking (tomorrow who knows)? I think baking takes a little more patience and precision.

And something sweet and homemade makes everyone so happy.
