I read a lot of harlequin romance novels as a teenager and I learned a LOT! It seemed that if you wanted the man you had better be a bold, voluptuous baker with a sketchy past. Now there’s a recipe for getting that man to the altar! Fast forward 20+ years (that was...

This bake is dedicated to one of my most special peeps, Sylvia. She is one of my “army of women” and she’s fantastic! We met when our kids started kindergarten together and we were fast friends after getting involved in Parent Council later in their elementary school...

My youngest son, B, was a real baker as a little guy. He would have Christmas cookie exchanges with his teachers and friends’ moms. It was adorable! His “go to” recipe was pumpkin bread; it’s still my favorite quick bread and I miss helping him make it, because he...

These are the most delicious vanilla cupcakes I have ever had. They are our family favorite. Hard to explain but they are light and dense at the same time. Another thing I love about them is their flat tops after baking (see photo below). Some cupcakes get a big domed...

Here is a Happy Valentines Day bonus!! I am very creative and I was inspired to learn how to decorate cookies with Run Sugar which is flowable Royal Icing. When my kids were younger I put three cookies into a small bag and that was their Valentine for all their...

Starting my home bakery business has taught me so much about who I am as a baker. The things I love to bake have shone brighter to me with repetition and every time I stare at a mountain of dishes or a flour coated counter, I find myself smiling for I have truly...

Okay, Chickens … we’re going off script today! You will find that I will go off script every once in a while. This means that my bake will not come from my beloved taste of home cookbook, but it will come from another home cook in my life. And this home cook is my...

When I think of the recipe card for Almond Puff in my grandma’s kitchen, I picture it to be one of those well-worn cards speckled with the contents of the desert, and faded from years of coming in and out of the recipe box. I have to picture it this way, as this is...
