I love to bake. I believe that love came from growing up with a grandmother who poured extra helpings of love and kindness into every pie, every cake and every loaf of bread she made. I have vivid memories of going to visit grandma and grandpa (a 4-hour drive each way) and walking into their home and smelling her labors of love as I walked in the front door. The first stop was never the bathroom, but the kitchen.
Just this week, the need to bake - to create with my hands and my heart - smacked me up along side the head. I decided to dole out a bit of baking kindness to my co-workers and put together four loaves of "quick" bread - pumpkin, banana, cranberry and cinnamon streusel (from the top, clockwise).

Okay...those are all my favorites but I hate to bake and honey...the rest is WAY to close to the heat source! Careful!
one of those would have made a delicious birthday present...
wink
I'm sorry, the only thing I can think is, "Ohmygod, please don't burn your boobs...ohmygod, please don't burn your boobs."
I trust all the bits made it out alright?
LOL @ Ms.I bc that was my first thought too. I've done something similar.
The breads look *YUMMY*.....
LOL @ Miss I...and yeah, pls don't!
YUM...and yummier is all I can say.
HHNT
While the click-thru was hot, I can tell my diet is taking its toll on me, cuz I was like, ohmigosh that bread looks good, LOL!
Happy HNT!
What a wonderful post. Your words remind me of the wonderful meals and desserts that my grandmother loved to make for me and the rest of our family.
And then the click took me somewhere equally beautiful but so far removed. :)
HHNT!
I'm sorry--I wasn't concerned about the burning of the boobies. My first thought was for the camera in the oven!
You can do HNT without the boobies, but you can't without the camera!
LOL i was worried about you burning your boobs as well! Gawd that bread looks delicious and it's dinnertime here ... now ima hungry xxx
I'd offer you one of mine, but I like you better naked. Happy HNT!
Yum! Wish I had a piece of that right now with a cup of hot coffee!
I had the same thoughts. DONT burn those boobies and "where'd she have the camera for this?"
After my worrying subsided, I'm now in the mood for some of your baked goods here ;)
*smiles*
Yummy, Dana~
Very nice. I'd say you don't need an apron. I would rather like to watch you cook naked. ^_^
I wish I could bake. I always manage to mess it up though, lol. I can cook really damn well though so that makes up for my lack of baking skills. Fresh baked bread is such an amazingly comforting smell to me. =) Be it just regular frenh bread,, whole grain bread or banana or apple cinnamon bread. Comfort indeed.
Awesome click. Glad no body parts were hurt or burned in the name of HNT pictures, lol.
Happy HNT!
Now those look yummy, both the bread and whats exposed ;)
A very HHNT
Lovely click-through - yummy in so many ways. HHNT!
Incredible picture. I am sure that no boobies were harmed in the taking of that photo.
HHNT!
~c, it was certainly a big hit at work - the bread, that is!
Moose, when I finally make it out there I'll have to bake for you. I promise to wear clothes though!
Kat, ohhhhh ... the guilt comment ...
Ms. I, all bits are just fine! One of the thinks I find fun about photography is tricking the brain to believe what the eyes see!
Vixen, I'm really glad y'all are so concerned about my boobie health - it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy *wink*
Mariposa, unlike Vixen, I'd never sacrifice my comfort for the HNT shot!
The breads look delicious and I'm glad you didn't burn your girls. ;) You gonna post the recipes or are you just a big ol' tease?
I am sure the bread was a hit. They all look so good.
The breads look delicious and I was cringing a bit at the click also, but it too looks delicious.
Happy HNT!!
Mmmm. Those look delicious!
Buns ahoy!!!
Lucky oven there! ;)
Thursday, there is nothing better than fresh baked bread - not even boobies!
13, memories of my grandmother are some of the onl wonderful childhood memories I have.
Os, you put yours in the washing machine for goodness sakes!
vanimp, y'all are so concerned about my safety *wink*
BTExpress, I'm thinking an apron HNT might just be a little sexy!
Janet, I'm assuming you are talking about the bread?
acccckkk Don't get burned!!
great pic.
Man that bread looks great. Cheers!!
Okay, I'm glad you came back and posted the edit. The only thing I could think when I saw you pressed up against the baking tray was "ouch!!" Very nice!
HHNT!
ouch!!!
it is a natural reflex .. take care!
Happy HNT
Those look delicious! (The breads. hee hee.)
Sometimes I get a giggle thinking how funny it would be if your hubby walked in on a photo shoot like this!
Well done. (The photo, not the bread.)
but but but the boobies were resting on the pan...maybe it was cool by that time?
NOW I AM HUNGRY!!!!
Um..
I know I shouldn't be asking this BUUUUT....
Is this your way of telling your readers that you've got a bun in your oven?? *wink*
Hi Dana,
OMG you are soo right about home baking. There is nothing better than home made bread.....I can smell it now. My mom was a great cook and baker. I sure miss that.
Tom
(soxyes)
Oh yummy! The bread looks delish! :) And the click-thru is fun. lol
peace...
Be carefull not to burn to breasts!
And can you come cook me something, with my sweet tooth, you got me craving some of those bread! I would give you an apron, if I feel like it!
Happy HNT!
Good Afternoon Dana,
Looks very tasty, I bet the breads good too
Oh, nothing says lovin' like something hot and tasty from the oven. That is definitely hot and tasty.... *wink*
I agree, there is nothing that is more soothing,comforting, and yummy as the smell of baking bread!
OH, be careful!!
Happy HNT!
my grandma baked and cooked all the time too, cina-rolls and homemade noodles..yum! Good thing your not frying bacon.
And here I expected to see your buns! ;)
Everything looks delish!
Ummmm lets see. Where do I start? I was shown your interesting but yet disgusting pics by a friend. She was expressing her concern because this is something that her husband finds interesting. Which we cannot for the life of us figure out. Do you have some sort of spell on the guys that open these up? How else would they even find this attractive? Being a woman myself, I have to tell you that what you are doing is a disgrace to women. Just one more loser giving us a bad name. THANKS!!! It is obvious that you are desperate for attention. Its too bad that you have to get it by showing of what you call "ART". Not sure but Im thinking you may need to go back to school or at least pull out a dictionary so that you can find the true meaning of the word. Cause girl...art is meant to be beautiful and you sure haven't shown us anything of the sort yet!!!
With deepest sincerity...
Disgusted
Wow your anonymous commenter really missed the point. That's too bad.
I call it jealousy. You love yourself and we love your for it. Now pass me some baked goods!
*phew* i am glad no parts were harmed cause that would be horrible.
yummy.. both pics ;)
HHNT
I'm safe to know you're taking your pictures by yourself and not have any cameraman in the owen :)
Happy HNT!!!
Yummy!!
And the bread looks pretty good too ;-)
Happy HNT!
That's yummy! Oh, the click-thru...so much more "YUMMY" than before! I would've never thought that up! Wonderful job...how can I steal this? Hehe! HHNT!
I soooo love homemade bread! I could eat it everyday!
Don't hurt the girls!!!!!
HHNT!
I love this. For some reason it made me laugh - in a good way. Just not what I was expecting when I clicked through. You are so creative.
LOL brave lady!
I suck at baking. I don't know why. Last 2 weekends I've tried to recreate an apple cake an old coworker used to make. The only successful part being the creamcheese frosting. hehehe :)
That looks VERY tasty!
Mmm Yummy! Is it now HNB?
Do you serve your bread in the same outfit that you bake it in? If so, when will you be delivering mine? I have my calendar right here...
Freshly baked bread, and freshly bared breasts. It doesn't get much better than that.
I feel very sorry for Anonymous/Disgusted. Perhaps we should club together and buy her a sense of fun.
oh my, freash warm boobies...maybe with milk?
Enjoy your site, both photos and postings.
Mike
Love the treats--and the bread looks yummy too
