A lot of my friends and family wonder why I enjoy being in the kitchen so much.  For me personally, cooking and baking is relaxing.  While cooking is more of throwing things together depending on my mood, baking requires a little more finesse and concentration. I have always found it to be an outlet for stress and a time to just enjoy myself.   

Sadly, bananas can be one of those flavors that can get lost when you bake with it, since it is typically a subtle flavor. These Banana Oatmeal Cookies are by far the tastiest banana flavored cookie I’ve ever had.  I must warn you though, your kitchen will smell heavenly if you choose to make these! 

Now when I think of baking, I always think sweet. Sugar is one of the most important ingredients we use, in the baking processes. The sweetness it provides to things like cookies, brownies and cakes is obvious. However, In breads and rolls, it is an equally important element.  Sugar feeds the yeast that makes for a beautiful rise. Sugar is an integral part of not only the baking process, but thing we make day to day.
