I’m so sad that I’ve made these probably 5 times now and have NEVER taken a picture of them?! Next time I make them I’ll take a picture. It’s funny because my husband considers snickerdoodles to be the worst of all cookies, but they’re my best friend’s favorite. So I’ve only ever made these in…

GLUTEN FREE BREADSTICKS
These might look weird but they were GREAT! Gluten free is a whole different ballgame! My best friend is gluten free so I’ve been experimenting more and reading more about gluten free baking. It’s a lot different because everyone has their ratios they like for flour. Some taste better, some are more or less grainy,…
LEMON BUNDT CAKE
I got this bundt pan for Christmas and I wanted an excuse to use it so I was happy when my in-laws invited us over for the Super Bowl because I finally got to use it! I love cake that is dense and moist and doesn’t really NEED a frosting. So I wanted to do…
SOURDOUGH BREAD
OKAY I made this last week but it was such a long process that it took me awhile to actually write down what I did. The process started on Friday morning because I wanted to bake the loaf on Sunday. I did everything weighed in grams because while reading about sourdough it was very precise….
HONEY WHEAT SEED BREAD
I bought some whole wheat flour to make the sourdough starter so I wanted to use it to make some bread! I asked my husband what kind he wanted and he wanted a super seedy bread. I read a lot of recipes and just kinda did whatever to see what came out. I went to…
ORANGE ROLLS
Cooper wanted some orange rolls and it’s something his grandma makes a lot but she’s out of town so I wanted to give it a try. Grandma usually makes them in muffin tins and does a light glaze. For me, there’s never enough orange. It’s like in between a normal roll and a dessert. So…
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES BUTTER TESTING
Cooper and I wanted to see just how different the cookies are based on which butter you use. I made 2 batches total so I used a half stick of butter and a half recipe for each butter. Here’s the link to my Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe I like using salted butter because a good…
SOURDOUGH STARTER DAY 3
IT’S ALIIIIVE. So many bubbles! Today is the first day of doing “discards” and feedings which I’ll be doing from now on. You can actually use the discard for some recipes so I put it in a different jar and put it in the fridge so I’ll try to find some other recipes I can…
SOURDOUGH STARTER DAY 2
Day 2 you just do another feeding. 60g of flour and 60g of water. But this time you do unbleached flour. I read you can use bread or all purpose but I don’t use my bread flour for much so that’s what I’m using. Day 2 starts to get funky! It starts making the bad…
SOURDOUGH STARTER DAY 1
Most of the baking I do is sweets so I want to get better at more “practical” baking like bread since you eat that more day to day than sweets. Sourdough has always kinda been intimidating because it takes a long time and there seems so be so many special things you have to do….
