This week’s host is Pam of Cookies With Boys.
In her bio, she says “I love to cook and bake, and my family loves to eat… especially cookies. Who doesn’t like a cookie?” I’m not sure if I know anyone that DOESN’T like cookies. 
Pam has selected Cran Apple Crisps for this week’s TWD post. (This isn’t necessarily in order to what you baked. See this post for a clear explanation.)
Let’s all get to know a bit about her and then head over to her blog, oogle her goodies and show some TWD love!

Questions:
1. When did you begin baking?
I remember taking the Fannie Farmer cook book out of the school library when I was in 6th or 7th grade. I made runny pancakes for my first ever recipe. I’ve been baking seriously since I moved out on my own at the age of 19. Yikes, that was a long time ago!
2. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
That’s easy! A singer or an actress. I was going to be a star!
3. What has been your favorite TWD recipe so far?
I have loved so many. Let’s see… The Blueberry Pie, the dimply plum cake, the granola grabbers, the caramel peanut topped brownie cake, the rugelach, the chocolate gingerbread, and those Allspice crumb muffins?? Ugh! The list goes on and on. I didn’t gain 15 pounds eating grapes!

4. What TWD recipe has been a dud for you?
There have been a few that I probably won’t make again, but I have enjoyed making every recipe so far.
5. What recipe are you dying to make that no one has picked yet?
6. What one item in the kitchen could you never live without?
I think that would have to be my Kitchen Aid mixer. Love that thing. A close second would be my radio. Gotta have some music when I’m in the kitchen.
7. Give us three adjectives to describe yourself.
Thoughtful, Nurturing, Positive Thinker
8. What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
I have always wanted to be like Samantha from Bewitched or Jeannie. One little twitch and everything is done and you can fly off anywhere at any time. And with the kids running around, the power to stop time would be nice every once in a while.
9. If you had a day to yourself, no distractions, what would you do?
First, I would read the paper with no interruptions. Then I would do a little baking, probably some cookies. Then I would lie on the couch with the remote, a couple of trashy magazines, a book, a pot of tea, and a cozy blanket and enjoy the quiet.
10. If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
I would love to go back to Italy. So much to see, so much to eat…
11. If you knew could you try anything, and not fail (and money was no object), what would you attempt?
Open a bakery/cafe, no doubt.
12. What meal and dessert would you choose to be your very last?
13. What is the “strangest” food you ever eaten?
14. What spice do you use over and over again?
I don’t really have a favorite spice, but since baking with TWD, I have really found a new love for cinnamon.
15. Offer up one random, little known factoid about yourself.
I am a procrastinating twin who likes to sing and dance in the shower as well as the kitchen.
