Homemade Peanut Butter

We are making peanut butter today! All by ourselves. And you need all of two things: 1) Peanuts 2) A food processor Easy! I made peanut butter for the first time in Berlin earlier this year when I had a baking day with Erin from Texanerin Baking. I was absolutely amazed as the food processor whizzed and whizzed and turned her peanuts into a spread. I couldn’t believe how easy … Continue reading →

Maple Pecan Pie Bars

These bars. Are. Amazing. I’m really sorry about the photos though. They aren’t great. Frankly, they’re quite boring. I was having a long day. I had baked quite a lot and needed to photograph a few things in succession. Any small fiber of creativeness I possess had been sucked out of me by this point, and I just wanted to get a few shots of these bars and pack up … Continue reading →

Caramel Mars Bar Brownies

I’m sick. I sound like a seal. Crossed with a man. Crossed with a teenage kid who’s voice is breaking. It’s so hot. My head feels groggy, my nose is stuffy and I have the sexiest seal cough ever. What are you like when you are sick? Do you take the day off work or school? Do you stay home in bed? Or on the couch, in your pyjamas, surrounded … Continue reading →

Nutella Swirled Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes in life, we make big deals out of small things. Small deals get blown out of proportion and turned into super big issues. Sometimes, it’s when you’re fighting with someone (typically a partner), and the smallest issue turns into a three day fight. All I’ll say about that is how. freaking. boring. Sometimes, it’s when you’re stressing out about a potential problem, something that could possibly happen, a “what … Continue reading →

So I want to be a pastry chef, right? And I’m pretty sure I go to culinary school, where I study patisserie. And I go to classes, where I like, bake stuff. And last time I checked, I worked at a cupcake shop, where like five times a week, I bake stuff. And I think I have a blog, which I bake stuff for all the time. And I want … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter and Banana Healthy Breakfast Muffins

So I cannot sit still. I am incapable. Like, I think I may actually have a problem. I am incapable of simply doing nothing. And I am addicted to technology. I cannot just be. I have to be doing, all the time. And it’s becoming ridiculous. Picture this: Tuesday night. Girl on couch. Watching Suits on TV and drooling over Harvey. Laptop on knees. Blog, Facebook, Foodgawker, Pinterest, email, recipes … Continue reading →

Rolo Bars

Life is funny sometimes. Like when you make an effort and spend time doing your hair in the morning and no one comments on  it. But then you don’t wash it for a few days and twist it back haphazardly to hide that it’s dirty and everyone tells you it looks great. Like when you really really like a boy but he doesn’t even realize that you exist. But then … Continue reading →

Easy Nutella Brownie Oreo Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting

There has been cakes, pastries, bread, basic cooking, restaurant classes, hot and cold desserts, yeast goods, petit fours and more. I absolutely loved hot and cold desserts, and pastries, and yeast goods. Basically I love the classes in which we make great … Continue reading →
