Domestic Diva (or the pursuit thereof)

In order to save money and broaden my horizons I have tried to become more crafty and domestic. Little did I know I would spend more money trying to make something than if I just bought it! But, what's the fun in that?? Some of my projects have been successful...and some not so much! I have learned a lot though!

Here are a few things I have learned:

Unbleached flour doesn't work as a substitute for bleached flour (if you don't modify the recipe). See attached picture to see my failed attempt at pizza dough. I finally got it right, though! It ONLY took me three tries.

Parchment paper is amazing! It helps cookies bake evenly and not burn on the bottom! Well worth the $3.00 that I debated spending, since I didn't realize it's added utility.

How thankful I am for my KitchenAid mixer. Thanks Mom and Mike!

It's really hard to cut a straight line! Did I not learn this in 1st grade??
