Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!
I’ve discovered the secret to winning over co-worker love… bring in baked goods on a regular basis. I started baking for my co-workers at my previous job in Los Angeles and you would have thought I was Kate Middleton handing out buckets of gold. They …
I like pumpkin dessert for what it symbolizes: Fall, coziness, a fire crackling in the fireplace, big comfy sweaters, cold weather, a good book and a lazy Sunday afternoon. I like baking with pumpkin because it means my favorite time of year is finally here …
My name is Kelly and I am a Nutella addict.
Correction, my name is Kelly and I am a recovering Nutella addict.
I am recovering in the sense that I only buy Nutella if I am going to bake with it and only if I use the entire jar. If I don’t use the entire jar, I throw the rest away. I know it’s wasteful and I do feel bad but, I cannot have Nutella around the house or I will turn into that person who comes home from work, throws on a pair of sweats, turns on a West Wing marathon via Netflix, and eats Nutella out of the jar with a spoon…

I am on a quest to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m serious; it is one of my life goals to master the art of baking chocolate chip cookies. I’m so dedicated to this goal, I even wrote my grad school admissions essay on this topic. I compared baking chocolate chip cookies to my pursuit of higher education. I thought for sure I’d get into my dream school: University of Vermont. For one, unless you’re from Vermont, who really wants to go there? And second, it’s my dream to live in a New England Fall.
That dream will have to wait. Turns out only 1 of the 6 schools I applied to values the chocolate chip cookie like I do and the University of Vermont is not one of them. Oh well, made my decision easy!
