Panela and Ube
No, they’re not characters from a children’s story– although I am Slightly obsessed with Punch the Monkey this week. There’s something about him that is both sweet and sad, vulnerable and hopeful, banal and inspiring. He’s uniquely human, but also a monkey. It’s all very cute and very 2020s internet meme. Anyway, Panela and Ube…

Happy Lunar New Year!
Gong xi fa cai. It’s the Year of the Fire Horse which is meant to be amazing and life changing and all sorts of other things! A year of transformation, fire, speed, inspiration, breakthroughs and travel. I say BRING IT ON! Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, or maybe I’ve just been watching too many instagram…

Tres Leches What???
So this week was The Runner’s birthday, and of course I made a cake. Now, one of The Runner’s favourite things to do is to come up with extremely random ideas for dinner, cakes, or basically anything else that he doesn’t have to cook himself- which is 99.9% of what we eat at home. About…

Hello 2026!
We’re 15 days into 2026 and I really don’t know what to say about it. I had a fabulous end to 2025- The Mom/Nana was over from the US and we had a fabulous fabulous fabulous trip to Tasmania, a place I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back to! Thomas had a great…

They’re spicy…I like it.
I’m in week 2 of my spring break and I’m leaning into it a bit. It’s a bit of a weird break but it’s good. I’m enjoying the downtime and getting a bit done too. The best thing about having time off is Monday morning pole classes. I’m feeling really fit, healthy, and a bit…

The house smells amazing…
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. What can I say, I’m…

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”, I say, “let’s try it!” …

And We’re Back!
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 to Wendy’s… it was an…

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 cookie enough”. But with World…

Are these the best yet?
I know I ask that question every week- but it’s because every week someone tells me that these cookies are “the best yet!” But this week’s are pretty good. Another Cookies and Crumbs success story- this time the Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have to say, it could be my new favourite cookie cookbook. Actually,…
