This week I attempted Anzac Biscuits from Some of My Best Friends Are Cookies… and well, I was disappointed by them. They were flat, and not great. I didn’t have enough coconut and I used dark brown sugar instead of just brown sugar, and I can honestly say they weren’t…

I am not a gluten-free girlie, however I totally respect that some people are. So when a trainer at my gym asked if I could make gluten-free cookies, of course I said yes. It also gave me the opportunity to test out one of my new birthday cookbooks- Cookies &…

Is the exact energy I’m bringing into my 45th trip around the sun. It’s my birthday this week. I do love my birthday- and the best thing about it being on a Wednesday, is I get to celebrate for two weekends- not just one. It’s been a good week of…

I’m not sure how I’ve gotten into the alcoholic cookie phase of baking but here we are yet again. I wanted to make these Tennesse Whiskey and Chocolate Chip cookies but we only had fancy whiskey in our liquor cabinet… and well, I didn’t want to risk the wrath of…

…including the cookies. And we all know I LOVE a good theme! Last week I baked Guiness Chocolate Chip Cookies which were NOT as good as Nigella Lawson’s Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s frosting which is hands down, the all time best St Patrick’s Day dessert ever. But they were…

Well, I’m officially a working girl again– and yet, I’m still a baking girl! Life has gotten super busy- being back to work and back to the office has been FULL ON! But we’re doing it. We’re juggling, balancing, tightrope walking, and doing it all backwards and in high heels.…

Continue reading →: Back into it!I can’t believe it’s February already- January flew by in a flurry of fun- and a lot of tennis! The United Cup in Sydney, AO in Melbourne, and the quickest trip to the US ever (that also included two tennis lessons). It was the best way to cap off my…

Happy 2025- I hope this year is precedented and uneventful for everyone– although I already have a feeling that this won’t be the case. New Year, New Cookies? Nope. Same cookies actually. This week I made two cookies I’ve made before- but only one that I’ve written about. Both are…

The festive season is here!!!! Yes, December is officially upon us and Santa is nearly here- and I’m tired already. Something about having a child born 5 days before Christmas makes this season HECTIC. So I didn’t bake this week- I blame the (nearly) 8 year old and his birthday…
