So, I was hit with a major craving for something sweet the other day, and you know what came to mind? Those amazing Biscoff cheesecake dessert cups. Instead of just dreaming about them, I figured, why not just make a batch? It’s not rocket science, and honestly, homemade always tastes better, right? Getting My Stuff Together First thing I did was raid my kitchen. You ...

Getting Started with These Peanut Butter Things Alright, so I’d been wanting to try my hand at making some edibles for a while. Seemed like everyone was doing it, but a lot of the recipes I found online looked way too complicated. You know, stuff that needed a chemistry degree. I just wanted something straightforward, something that wouldn’t take all day or leave my kitchen ...

Okay, so today I felt like baking, and cinnamon rolls were calling my name. But I wanted to try something a little different, something I heard folks talking about – using heavy whipping cream. Sounded decadent, right? So, I decided to give it a whirl. Getting Started – The Dough First things first, I gathered all my usual suspects for dough: flour, sugar, yeast, salt, ...

My New Bread Mold Pan Saga Alright, so I caved and got myself one of those bread mold pans. You know the type. My old one was, let’s just say, past its prime. Looked like it had seen a few too many battles in the oven, and frankly, everything was starting to stick like crazy. Figured it was time for an upgrade, or at least ...

So, the other day, I was all set to bake some muffins. Got all my gluten-free flour out, the eggs, everything. Then I reached for the baking powder and had one of those “uh oh” moments.

Alright, so I finally got around to making that brown cheese cake everyone’s been raving about. You know, the one that looks like you’ve forgotten it in the oven, all dark and almost burnt on top. Sounded a bit weird, but I was curious, so I figured, let’s do this. Getting Started – The Prep Fiasco (Almost) First things first, I dragged out all the ...

Alright, so I’d been meaning to try my hand at these carrot cake dessert cups I kept seeing pop up in my head. Seemed like a cool way to get that carrot cake fix without, you know, making a whole giant cake that I’d probably eat all by myself. Getting Started – The Carrot Situation First things first, I had to wrestle with the carrots. ...

Alright, let’s talk about something I checked out myself just the other day. I was in the kitchen, getting ready to fry up some chicken, and I reached for my trusty bottle of vegetable oil. I usually just pour without thinking too much, but this time I was trying to be a bit more mindful, you know? Trying to keep track of things. So I ...

Okay, so the other day I was rummaging through my pantry, getting ready to do some baking. Needed some fat, and my go-to for certain recipes has always been Crisco. But not the shortening this time, I grabbed the bottle of Crisco Vegetable Oil. Been sitting there for a while, honestly. As I held the bottle, I had one of those moments, you know? Where ...

Alright, let me tell you about my little adventure with dry yeast while I was kicking around in France. I got this sudden craving to bake something simple, maybe some bread or pizza dough, you know? So off I went to the local supermarket. Found the baking aisle, and well, the fresh yeast I sometimes prefer wasn’t obvious, or maybe I just missed it. What ...
