There is noting "inner" about my house wife. I wear it on my sleeve.
I love Love LOVE having my own place. I especially <3 my kitchen. Why? I don't love it because it's the most well designed or most up to date. I love it because one of my favorite things to do is cook and bake, mostly bake.
I'm not very good at picking out gifts. I'm horrible at remembering to send cards. BUT I love to make things for people. I bake all the time, and the hubby and I never eat it. We forget it's there. I really bake for other people. My sister and her boyfriend were over a couple of weekends ago and I thoroughly enjoyed cooking for them. It's what I can do for people, ya know? I don't have the money to be giving expensive things or even cheap things for that matter, but I can work baking supplies into my budget and they go a long way.
Food: the gift that keeps on giving. ;)
I take much pride in making things(usually only when they turn out well). I made chicken Alfredo when my sister and her boyfriend visited. I got the recipe on the internet, but still. BANGIN'!!!! I really loved it. (We had it again last night). It is so easy and so tasty. I'll share it!

The sauce doesn't go very far so you might have to add some more milk. I also whisked the butter and cream cheese. The first time I made it I didn't put as much of the veggies as it called for, because it seemed like a lot . . . second time I did and was glad. Yum yum.
Anyway . . . so I'm still completely thrilled to have my own place to decorate and personalize. During this holiday season I find myself picking out all sorts of things I want for my kitchen and for other people's kitchens. After I have filled my cart on a website I remind myself "Not everyone is obsessed with their kitchen or decorating . . . they probably don't want all of this." :( I think everyone experiences that to an extent . . . want to give what they love because everyone should love it! Lol. Not the case.
Enough rambling! I have a house to clean and some papers to write. :( Perhaps I can reward myself later by baking . . .
