By now, we all know I’m obsessed with Claire Saffitz, but I do have one teeny tiny bone to pick with her. She is constantly saying in her videos that you need a stand mixer to make her recipes, and then sometimes she’ll reluctantly say with a sigh that you *could* use a hand mixer......
As a person with a lot of hobbies, you know things are getting dire when I will actually admit that I’m BORED. Yes, I have shows I’m watching, books I’m reading, and cross-stitch projects underway, but I’m just feeling a general sense of boredom settling over it all. I hate to say it, but I’m......
February is the worst, but I cooked, baked and blogged my way through it all and it actually seemed to fly by. Here’s what was happening: First, let’s pour one out for Dara & Erin from How to Eat! They announced at the beginning of the month that they’re winding down their blog to focus......
I created a poll in my Instagram stories last week to see what recipe people thought I should make next from Dessert Person. The options were: Malted “Forever” Brownies, Coffee Coffee Cake or Poppy Seed Almond Cake. I knew Kristine would vote for Coffee Coffee Cake, but so did her sister and also responded with......
I started brainstorming for a Valentine’s Day Treat Box as soon as Christmas was over. I loved my Christmas boxes so much, so I wanted to do a version with various heart shaped/pink/red treats to spread a little love. I’ve always loved baking for Valentine’s Day, because there’s none of the pressure or urgency of......
I’m back with another recipe from Dessert Person! It was my Dad’s birthday last week, and his #1 fave is Carrot Cake, so I decided to test out Claire’s version. Her recipe is pretty straightforward and keeps the focus on the carrots and traditional spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Her only extra addition to......
I’m pretty loyal to My Favourite Buttermilk Pancakes. Ever since I found that recipe, that’s what I make every time I’m craving them, and have never really felt the need to try anything else. Until now! Like I mentioned in my January recap, I’ve had a renewed interest in Chrissy Teigen’s cookbooks lately. Not really......
As stated multiple times on this blog, I am just not a soup person. Once in a while, I’ll take a chance on something that sounds like I might like it, and I did that last Winter with this soup from Pinch of Yum. I vaguely remembered that I liked it, but decided to give......
I think I was prepared for the worst this month with another looming lockdown and the onset of frigid weather, but I managed to make it out of January (relatively) unscathed. I blogged about an old fave, a couple of new faves, and a new project I’m excited about. Here are the other things that......
I’ve really been missing Baked Sunday Mornings lately. I would usually take a break from the group each year over the holidays because of other baking plans, and then would re-join with renewed passion and commitment every January. Because we wrapped up our journey back in May, this was the first January in 10 years......
