Did I ever tell you that I used to hate baking?
 
Seriously, I know.
 
I always loved to cook, but when asked to bring something to a potluck, my response was 
“Anything but dessert!”
 
I guess it was a gradual change, because I really don’t remember waking up one morning and saying
“I want to BAKE!! I LOVE to BAKE!!”
 
I think a lot of it stems from my confidence.
When I cook, I literally don’t know how to follow a recipe.  
You should see my kitchen when I am trying to write a recipe down to blog for you all.
I am very much a “taste and see” — “don’t like it, tweak it!” kinda girl.
 
That’s why my oldest son asks for things like “Magic Chicken Surprise” because that’s what I called something that I made, he loved, and I have no idea how to make it again.
 
Baking just isn’t as forgiving as cooking.  
 
Sure you can throw in a spice here or there, but forget something like flour in a cookie, and you have a mess!
Seriously, I did that.
 
 
When we were growing up, my mom pretty much baked one thing, cookies.
We got chocolate chip, peanut butter (they are the BEST — here’s her recipe)
or oatmeal raisin.
 
Sure she made us birthday cakes, but we rarely came home to cupcakes after school.
 
But sometimes… sometimes…. she made chocolate cupcakes with this cream filling and we were
SO EXCITED!
 
 
 
And her recipe from way back when, is what I am sharing with you today!
