Highs and Lows
I’ll start with the bad news. I had my first (or maybe second) cookie fail this week. I tried to re-make the Cornflake-Marshmallow-Chocolate Chip cookies from a few weeks ago and they did not turn out- at all. They were too crunchy, too dry, too ick. Wrong wrong wrong. I should have known better. I…

This working life…
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. But we’re ok! I’ve once…

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 months of Funemployment. And unbelievably-…

Dirty Chai and Macarons.
Happy December! I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of the year. Christmas carols are playing, the tree is decorated, the turkey and ham are ordered and I’ve been reading Christmas Cookie recipes. My experience with Christmas cookies has been mixed at best. There was one time when I baked them as a child- but…

Just normal Chocolate Chip.
Last week I made Chocolate Chip Cookies. You know the ones. The boring, old favorites that have the recipe on the back of the bag of chocolate chips. Tollhouse chocolate chips if you grew up in the US, no idea what recipe is on the back of the Australian chocolate chip packages because I didn’t…

He Runs, I Cookie
So, I’m currently in the midst of figuring out my next career move. I absolutely loved my last job and now that it’s over, I have a lot of choices to make and a lot of paths to explore. While I continue to figure it out, I’m baking. This week’s cookies are Red Velvet Chocolate…

C is for Cookie…
So I’ve been on a cookie baking binge over the past few weeks- or maybe even months. Actually, I can trace it back to July. My friend, Jinx (not her actual real name, but her real pole name) went to Europe and brought back THE best cookie I’ve ever tasted in my life. It’s from…

The best banana bread for the worst year…
So, 2020 is turning out to be a bit….well, let’s be honest it’s turning out to be a hard year to describe without swearing. Not sure anyone, except makers of masks and pyjama pants would put it down as “the best year ever”. To be fair, it started off with a lot of promise and…

Exciting Times….
There are exciting times in the He Runs, I Cook household in between watching Sesame Street and the everyday juggle of life, we’re actually doing some interesting things– sort of. For starters, MiniMe is nearly 2. He’s only 22 months to be exact but I’ve finally reached the point of motherhood where I know longer…
