And I think our oven is running hot. And this is what separates me from an actual baker. An actual baker pays attention and takes out the trays before they burn. I am still a bit uncertain so even though I think the cookies are overbaking, I still follow directions. …

Continue reading →: Don’t trust the internet
We all know by now not to trust a thing you see, hear or read on the internet. It’s also no secret that I’m a Marketer’s dream. I am super brand loyal and very susceptible to advertising. So when someone’s internet blog says, “this is the perfect chocolate chip cookie”,…

Continue reading →: What inspires you?
And I don’t just mean when it comes to food. I’m learning that the hardest part of being a parent is knowing what to say when life lifes. When games are lost, when small humans are worried about big things, when you’re trying to encourage someone to believe that the…

Yet another rainy weekend in Sydney – which has both pros and cons! When it rains, there’s more time to bake which isn’t a bad thing. I now split it over two days – dough on Saturday and baking on Sunday. I’m not sure if it makes it more…

For the first time this week, I really struggled with what to bake. I knew I was going to bake this week, because, well, of course I was but I struggled with inspiration. Jinx had sent me a recipe from EasyGayOven which looked great on Instagram but sadly the recipe…

We took a week off for a family holiday (and marathon) on the Gold Coast. We had a blast! The Gold Coast is the perfect place for a family holiday- Thomas had a blast! Sea World, Australian Outback Spectacular, Whale Watching, Timezone, Teppanyaki, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, multiple trips…

This week I’m making THREE cookies! Yikes! Three Cookies means I’ve spent all morning baking, cleaning, baking, washing dishes and then washing more dishes. And by washing dishes, I mean packing and unpacking the dishwasher– which is the same as washing dishes to me. I can make three cookies this…

Continue reading →: Shortbread??
So this week, we (I) baked shortbread for the first time. I mean, shortbread is kind of cookie-like? It’s in a lot of cookie cookbooks but it’s not really a cookie. It’s cookie adjacent. I’ve seen shortbread recipes pop up in Cookie Cookbooks but I’ve always discarded them as “not…
