Ali–That’s an excellent comment about all that goes into cookbook development. Testing the recipes at all different phases would definitely require a lot of testing. I made a recipe tonight I didn’t even get to taste, so I am asking the recipients for a report back. It’s a new creation, so I am hoping it will be blog worthy.

Oh yes, much of my creations get given away. I do have some help with the little ones though! But I still need to try my creations hot out of the oven, cooled, and then also the next day to see if anything has changed (usually the texture). It gets to be quite a lot of taste testing some weeks!!

Hi, Ali!–Thanks! Too good is right. LOL But, I can’t even imagine the food temptations when developing a cookbook! With a failed recipe though, not so much. LOL However, I bet you have very few if any of those. Usually even failed recipes can turn into something wonderful. Like the pumpkin bars, I forgot to add the sugar to (I know … clearly, I was not thinking … I thought they looked a little flat!) . . . They will be reincarnated as a pumpkin crust soon. Just need to crush and add a little brown sugar and olive oil I think. Maybe you need some type of group to feed!? Hubby just came home last from handbell choir practice to tell me they had full attendance, so he promised them some of my treats next week. LOL Maybe I’ll try something new on them. That’s the ideal solution—I get one test bite and then out the door the goodies go. I am sure your four little ones help a lot with eating all your test runs though.

I admit I did think of you when I first made Anali’s recipe, CoconutGal. I still want to make your banana-coconut “ice cream” … just need to pick up some coconut milk when I go to “town” again. (It’s not something my local grocery store carries.)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting … I’ll try to do more posts that meet your fancy!

Wow Shirley this cake sounds too good. I am glad I don’t live near you otherwise I’d end up wanting a slice or 2 or 3 and I don’t need any more baked goods! I have plenty around these days with this cookbook project! -Ali

Hey, Melanie–Thank you, my dear! It is really wonderful. Even after making it three times and sharing it with others, each time I have a small piece I am amazed how good it is.
