When restless...I bake.

I have so many things to do tonight for work, home, kids, etc,  But - I want to take a baked treat into the office tomorrow.  I try to this every once in awhile.  I truly enjoy doing this for my office - a simple thank you and acknowledgement that my co-employees are appreciated.  Added benefits for me (1) have a perfect way to try a new recipe and get feedback.  (2) I can have a few of the treats I make and not feel guilty.  If I was to eat all of what I make - YIKES!  I have a friend - yes you Elizabeth - who is making cookies for her office tomorrow and this inspire me to whip up something quick.
