About Me

“I just figured if I was going to make the world a better place, I would do it with cookies.” – Stranger Than Fiction

And I really can’t say it any better than that.

I’m just a girl. A girl who loves to bake. A girl who believes that warm baked goodies from the heart and fresh from the oven can cure just about any ailment from a broken bone to a broken heart and everything in between.

Baking has taught me many important life lessons. For instance I now know the difference between muffins and cupcakes, never overwork your brownie batter, do NOT step away from that sugar caramelizing on your stovetop, cream will almost always overflow when scalding it (or is that just me…?) And perhaps most importantly, put a whole lot of lovin into whatever you make then give it away freely to some one you love. It is happiness, personified.

I buy flour, sugar and eggs in ridiculous bulk. Yes, that’s me that you see walking around aimlessly at the grocery store holding that carton of 30 eggs.

My ultimate dream is being able to open up my own bakery and turn this passion into, not only a profession but an art. If a cookbook came my way, I doubt I’d say no But making Bailey’s brownies and shoving them off on my friends will have to do for now.

My husband doesn’t eat 98% of the things I make (but I love him anyway ;P) my doggy is crazy-hyper, my kitty is a demanding, loud mouth hussy and I can never seem to have nearly enough sprinkles to keep me happy.

I love lame jokes, bad horror flicks, ultra-soft blankies, glitter, football ( Go Texans!!) and the smell of an apple pie baking in the oven. I’d bottle it and wear it as perfume. Truth.

I hate bacon. Yes, I’m serious. Yes, I’ve tried it. No, this isn’t a joke. Please stop looking at me like that.

Up until the tail end of 2011 I was using a simple point and shoot camera but I have recently received this bad boy and I will probably spend the next year getting comfortable with it.

So stick around while I force you to look at pictures of yummy food, read ridiculous stories about me that you wish you could forget, and take glamour shots of myself like I’m some kind of model (or a total spaz). It’s all out of love, I promise.

Drop me a line. Or tell me a corny joke. Either way, I’d love to hear from you!!
