Hey there world, it’s been a minute! I am a week and a half into a BADLY NEEDED two week break from teaching, and this is the first time that I have felt like I had the energy to do any writing. I’ll get to those beautiful and delicious millionaire shortbread cookies above, but I’d […]

It’s fall if I say so.
School is up and running full swing again, which means that I am basically ready for Halloween and the Holidays…. so this is a post about a bread that is great for fall. If that’s not your jam yet, visit this post in a month or so when you are craving something to dip in […]
Strawberry-Lemon Cake, A.K.A. The Cake That Caused Me To Wash My Stand Mixer FOUR TIMES.
Hey everybody. Sorry for the long period of radio silence… my life has been crazy. Which is not to say bad. Really, it’s been crazy AWESOME. My summer was so good and included lots of friendship time, great music with my chamber choir, hard work getting ready for school, and an AMAZING trip to Disney […]
I Have a New Cookbook. But I Really Needed It, I Swear.
Hey all. It’s been a hot minute. Life gets busy. BUT! Look at this awesome new cookbook my man-friend agreed to buy me as a shameless way to work around my vow to remain purchase-free. It is almost the end of the school year here in my world. I’m not going to lie to you. […]
…That time I set the oven on fire.
Hey world. So. I haven’t posted in a while. I have a somewhat pressure-filled job as a competitive show choir director, and January and February are STRESSFUL for me. Usually, I use baking as an outlet for that. But. Sometimes everything doesn’t go to plan. So, this post is dedicated to that. I did make […]
Caramel Cake: a Distraction from the BORING Superbowl
Every year, my man-friend and I host a half-time-show-watching-party on Super Bowl Sunday. This is really just an excuse for me to cook up some highly caloric deep fried food and share it with my favorite people. This year, I also decided to add an indulgent cake to the mix. Over the holidays, I bought […]
Macarons: cute and easy.
Ok, so I don’t really have a recipe for this one. However, I like to think of Macarons as sort of a personal specialty… I’ve made them quite a lot and feel comfortable adding flavors and whatnot, and I have the amounts memorized. I’ll bake something else tomorrow to stay on track with my once […]
Brioche. Because Sourdough is Hard.
Soooo it has been a while since I last blogged. And there is a reason for that. I had this brilliant plan that I was going to make a sourdough starter and then wow everyone with my genius baking skills when I unveiled homemade sourdough bread. However, my sourdough starter… yeah, no. It did not […]
Snowed-in with Stolen Apricots
Preview: this bread is awesome. It’s worth buying the cookbook just for this recipe. Disclaimer: Paul Hollyood does not pay me to tout his product, he’s just got a good cookbook. I’m sure Paul Hollywood has no idea who I am. Although he should. And Paul, if you’re reading this, feel free to pay me. […]
Butter: everyone’s favorite food.
For New Year’s Eve, I wanted to make something special to share with my friends that I love so very very much. Everyone knows that the diet starts January 1st, so it also seemed important to do some carbo-loading and make something rather indulgent, so I settled on chocolate croissants, from Paul Hollywood’s book How to […]
