On The Run
I’ll start by saying that I'm an hobbyist baker. I can usually end up with something edible, and for the most part, I’m pretty happy with what I get. BUT BREAD IS VERY DIFFERENT. This was my first time trying to bake bread with my own starter and it wasn't easy. There are just so [...]
These blueberry scones are bursting with juicy blueberries. They’ve got perfect crisp crumbly edges and soft flaky centers. They've got a crunchy coarse sugar and creamy vanilla icing are the perfect finishing touches! Ingredients 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled), plus more for hands and work surface 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 [...]
Can you believe we've now stayed at home for 6 weeks! I still can't get over how long it's been. This has been a pretty good week. Work has been busy which is great, keeps my days shorter, I baked my first loaf of sourdough bread, and I made an awesome dinner last night, brother [...]
I have been baking up a storm during this quarantine and I see no stop at the end... So far I've baked 2 banana bread loafs, cheese-it's, and lemon crinkle cookies which were a HUGE HIT! They're simple, sweet, and absolutely bursting with flavor. I always know I have a winner when my brother tries [...]

Truth be told, I'm still feeling a little torn about what is appropriate to post here on in the current wake of this crisis. So much of what I share on here is lighthearted, and fun, but I have struggled when it has come down to sharing things that just seem so unimportant. However, today's [...]
I've always love a good night in with family and our favorite board games, and I like them even MORE so right now with everything going on! I figured it would be a fun post to share which games are at the top of our list. Whether you’re trying to keep busy, looking for a [...]
On Monday of last week, I woke up in a bad mood. I just felt bleh. Maybe the stress of the current state of the world was getting to me, or maybe loosing my daily routine was a hard thing to shake off but I was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day that [...]
Cooper and Teddy have been very good companions during this quarantine but this week has been really tough on my mental health. I've been in a funk since Monday and today I'm finally feeling like I'm getting over it. Here's whats been on my radar this week: ONE // Pixar Zoom Backgrounds Earlier this week [...]
