I’m a week behind…
Because life has been busy and I’ve been adulting. For the first time in 5 years, I’m not working from home every day- and it’s an adjustment. But we’re four weeks in and I’m starting to settle into a pattern. A pattern that involves almost constant motion and busyness. A pattern that is forcing me…

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-…

Happy 2025!
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 from Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar…

Rum Balls and Gingerbread
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 party- but it could also…

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…

Happy Thanksgivng Y’all
It shouldn’t be a suprise that Thanksgiving is one of my all time favourite holidays. Food, family, friends, and football. What else could you ask for? Other than family, Thanksgiving is one of my favourite things about America. So this time of year, I’m always a bit sad to be here and not there. And…

The secret ingredient is…
This week’s cookies are: Rocky Road and Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip. Spoiler alert! The secret ingredient is Coca-Cola. There was also the option to use Craft Beer- but as I made them in the morning it felt a bit too early for beer. The Coke made the cookies really airy and soft like my favourite…

Déjàvu all over again…
Well, here we are again. Clearly those photos were taken on Election morning when the future looked hopeful and optimistic- when change was in the air and anything seemed possible. Personally, I’m still processing all the feelings I’m feeling. Disappointment, surprise, foreboding, grief, fear, impending doom. It’s a familiar feeling- well, not familiar as in…

What is a Snickerdoodle?
And WHY has it taken me so long to make one??? So, this week I made Snickerdoodles. I have never eaten a snickerdoodle before, let alone made one. But my friend, JJ, requested them and so this week, I made Snickerdoodles. And they were yum! They were a bit of a departure from my normal…
