Light Brown Sugar vs Dark Brown Sugar

Tonight I was at a friends house eating some delicious pumpkin cranberry bread pudding (I believe it was from a weight watchers cookbook). It helped me to remember how wonderful it is to have small groups over to share in the yummy baked goods. I do this often with dinner group, but this was just a random small group of girls and it made my night to just sit and talk about life.

Now a question was brought up while we were there. Is there a different between light and dark brown sugar. So I looked it up. According to Taste of Home, light brown sugar has a "delicate flavor" while dark brown sugar has a "stronger more intense molasses flavor." Does it matter which you use? They say its just depends on what you prefer. (http://www.tasteofhome.com/Cooking-Tips/Ask-the-Test-Kitchen/Light-Versus-Dark-Brown-Sugar) So sounds like the flavor/color will differ, but the texture/product will be basically the same which ever you use.

Hello World!

So I am entering the world of blogging. Hello world. I am Stephanie. I think that coming up with the name for this blog was the hardest part! But finally I think I have something that is me. Yes, purple is my favorite color. I feel that it is such a peaceful color. And yes, frogs are wonderful. I believe I have loved them since the time in my life when it poured raining in Germany and frogs were outside everywhere, like the plague. I remember all over the towns they would have signs saying, "Watch out for Frogs!" (but it was in German).  I grew up in Washington and love trees.  I am a math teacher and find that helping those around me brings me the greatest joy.  Last but not least I am a cookbook addict. I hope that this blog will help inspire me to cook more of those delicious recipes I read about.
