At some point before Thanksgiving I discovered the “Great British Baking Show” on Netflix… and since then I haven’t really looked back. I like it so much that I won’t watch it as I’m falling asleep because I need to pay attention to who is star baker and who doesn’t quite measure up each week. …
I haven’t been cooking nearly as much in recent months so when I saw my friend Becca was coordinating a cookie swap…. I signed up fast. I needed a push to experiment… and what better than to try and impress strangers via the mail. This recipe is a combination of two forces. One? I did…
It really feels like a lifetime since I did a recipe post – but here we are … and I have one. Actually I have several but here is just the one I can write up right now. This recipe also comes with me admitting something. I might like Oreos. I’m always a proponent of…
We have a cookie contest this coming week at work and despite all my prior cooking efforts, I’ve never been in a contest before. I wasn’t sure where I stood on the contest, was I going to take it seriously and really bring my A game? or keep it casual and do the bare minimum?…
This recipe has been sitting on my kitchen counter for over a month – so it’s good that I finally got to it I guess. The original recipe called for raspberries but there is no good reason for that – especially when you have perfectly ripe and freshly picked blueberries. I was on vacation for…

Despite wanting to keep things simple, it’s hard for me to stop adding things to a dinner menu – even if it’s just a simple bbq. I saw this cake show up in my Instagram feed probably about a month back and knew it would be a great addition to our party. In fact pretty…
I keep calling this the “Ina cake” but it could also be called by its actual name – Devil’s Food cake. But honestly, I’m always going to call it in the Ina cake because it’s from Ina Garten’s latest cookbook that I got for Christmas. I made this cake on a weekday for my mom’s…
I’m going to get straight to the point. These cookies are fast, easy, and delicious. There is also a high probability that you already have all the ingredients in the cabinet. I was sitting on the floor this morning scanning old pictures and really felt the urge to make some cookies. In between batches of…
I’m emotionally quite ready for Christmas. I’ve also nearly decorated the house inside and out. I haven’t quite taken down all my decorative white pumpkins yet… but those are just small details. I’ll take those suckers down the day after Thanksgiving – and maybe make one more stuffed pumpkin to close out the season. One…
