On The Run
I've been doing a ton of baking during quarantine and I'm loving. I'm getting so many things done that I had put on my back burner list because I kept telling myself I didn't have the time for it but obviously things have changed. Below are a list of pastries I want to bake and [...]
A few weeks ago Disney released their Beignet's recipe and you know we had to try to make these!
I made these pretzels last Saturday but they were such a popular hit at home and with family that I've already made 2 other batches. I used Alton Brown's Recipe that Jennifer Garner shared on Instagram. It was easy, fun, and the pretzels really are soft and delicious. I was super intimated by her process [...]

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 [...]
This has been an interesting week...we had three great weather days but then gloomy days followed which completely changed my mood. However, I tried to get on good spirits but something was against me. I've had a little streak of bad luck. I started sourdough starter, it went bad on day 4, my coffee beaker [...]
