Next Food Network Star

So, here's a confession for you. I could literally sit for hours and watch the Food Network. And I should tell you this while I'm at it-I used to keep a notepad and a pen by me at all times during the show just in case I needed to make note of a certain recipe. I have improved slightly and haved since realized that I can just go look up every recipe on the website.

I love to cook and bake. But I am a recipe kind of girl. I feel obsessive about measuring and just recently have taken to not measuring things such as vanilla because there is no point. This is rebellious in the compulsive world that I live in.

And so today, when I tell you that I made up my very own pancake recipe, you should stand up and clap. Cheer, even. Because let me also tell you this: they were delicious. And I will definitely be making them again. Mint and chocolate can never go wrong in my world (sort of like cheese). Especially when they are together. I made chocolate peppermint pancakes today for Leanne and myself. I had five and resisted the urge to eat the remaining five

So to get my own show on the Food Network, I just need to work on trying my delicious creation on camera. I don't think the eyes rolling back in my head and repeatedly saying Mmmm would attract a very great audience, or I should say an audience that tuned in regularly.

The only way to do that will be for me to keep making up my own creation so I can practice. And since I busted out of my comfort zone, nothing can stop me now.
