Baking from scratch… because good things take time.

  • [Small Batch] Pumpkin Turnovers.

    Note: I’ve had this post “baking” [ha, I’m punny!] for quite awhile now, but as aforementioned, I have not been feeling well at all. Therefore, it is a bit delayed, but pumpkin and 30-minute puff pastry never get old in my book, so I hope you enjoy it all the same. 🙂 You’ve heard of…

  • Random Sides // Depression: Iteration 3.71.

    Hello. …Is this thing on? Is there anybody out there? If you’ve been following my blog and wondering where the heck I’ve been lately… {I last posted on October 18th, and it’s now November 29th! Yikes.} Well… I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus. I like to think it’s for a “good”…

  • Chocolate Irish Whiskey Cake.

    Chocolate Irish whiskey cake. Oh yes. This cake combines two of my favorite things: chocolate and booze. Okay, I’m actually not that into the booze. I mean, I enjoy a nice adult beverage (or three) on occasion. But there’s just something about baking with booze. Booze-infused baked goods are just extra special because the alcohol…

  • Tres Leches Cake.

    Tres leches cake. I had no idea what it was for the longest time. Up until one day about a year ago, I asked my first internship friend, Jimmy, what he’d like for me to bake for him if he ever visited me in St. Louis. [I never did bake for him back when we…

  • RBE // Homemade Mini Corn Dogs + French Fries!

    I keep typing the word “homemade,” and it’s beginning to look really strange. Don’t you hate it/get weirded out when that happens? Sheesh. Anyway. That’s right. The roomie and I made homemade (ugh, that word) miniature corn dogs and french fries! We like to try to cook something new every month or two together as…

  • Small-Batch Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes.

    It’s September, and I’m on the pumpkin train. Truth be told, I have been on the pumpkin train since about August. I’m one of those people who wishes fall would hurry up and get here. Yeah, I even wish away summer at times. I get why some of you summer lovers probably hate people like…

  • Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies.

    A few weeks ago, I was alone on my couch, binge-watching Breaking Bad and drinking a bit too much wine. And suddenly this fierce craving for peanut butter hit me. Kind of an odd craving when you’re Netflix ‘n Winin’ it up, I suppose. Nevertheless, I gave in to my craving, and made some of…

  • RBE // Homemade Lucky Charms Cereal!

    The roommate and I have officially lost our minds. This installment of “RBE” {Roommate Baking Endeavors} entails – as you have probably gathered – making homemade Lucky Charms. Oh yes. I have been told by more than one person that I’m “crazy” for doing this. And you know what… Those people aren’t wrong. I’ll tell…

  • Vanilla Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting.

    This here is one of those less fancy, photos from Instagram posts. You see, full-blown food blog posts are – believe it or not – a lot of work. You have to first test the recipe, hope that it turns out if it’s a new-to-you recipe. Then you have to hope that your food looks…

  • Homemade Animal Crackers.

    Sometimes you just need some photos of animal crackers. Homemade animal crackers, obviously. The Chicago Metallic Bakeware company makes the animal cracker cutters, and my roommate’s sister works for them. She asked my roommate if I’d take some photos for their website. These photos are what I came up with, so hopefully you enjoy them.…
