This post is important. Probably one of the most important ones I’ve ever written. Why? Well, today we’re talking about chocolate chip cookies. The superior dessert. My absolute favorite dessert. Nothing compares. I’m a cookie snob. A freshly baked cookie. Chewy, soft dough surrounded by a pools of melted chocolate. As the cookie cools on […]
Some problems in life can only be solved with chocolate. It’s my personal mantra. Chocolate on a bad day can bring immense happiness. Chocolate on a good day can bring immense happiness. Chocolate = happiness. I adore chocolate, truly. I’ve been trying to keep my baking explorations to my current inventory. Many people say that […]
Another week — and just thinking of that makes my head spin. Another week in quarantine, in isolation, in this wild time, where being at home is a blessing and taking classes online is the new normal. I guess last week was my emotional crack. My last blog post shows it. Experiencing this time has […]
This year has turned out to be memorable—and not in a way I ever imagined. The words isolation, quarantine, online, and virus inundate the news. It’s scary, but I’m trying to find the silver lining in all of this. So, what am I grateful for today? I have the opportunity to spend time with my […]
I have a cookie obsession. Since moving to college my night is not complete without two freshly baked cookies. Yes, you read that right, I eat two cookies every single night. Every two weeks, I get out my apron, measure the flour, and make cookie dough. Some times its these double chocolate chip cookies and other times […]
Do you like chocolate? Actually, do you LOVE chocolate? Do you spend your days dreaming about living in a chocolate waterfall, near a bed of chocolate crumb sand, under a sky of white chocolate stars, on the edge of a chocolate fudge volcano? Only me? Awkward. 😉 I’ve been living without an oven for the […]
This cheesecake has transformed my perception of love. I will only accept a person who complements me as well as this chewy, crispy cookie and delicate, sweet cheesecake. Someone who will treat me like chocolate ganache; it’s gold. I have always thought it is weird that people use relationship-centric rhetoric to describe food. “They complement […]
I enjoy baking cookies instead of going out. I watch the news more than I watch normal television. I spend more hours reading books than you can imagine. Growing up, I always felt different — and at 18-years-old, I still feel different. As an 8-year-old, this was a constant crisis. I never connected with the girls […]
You may already know this, but I love desserts. Like, a lot. I am the happiest version of myself when I’m in the kitchen, around chocolate chips, surrounded by flour and sugar, etc. Life is good. My love for dessert runs so deep that growing up I would eat a chocolate Nutella sandwich for lunch […]
Baking memories are my absolute favorite childhood memories. When I was little, my mom would bake brownies and let me lick the bowl. Life was so simple. Go to school, come home, eat dinner — repeat. I remember when my weekends were full of piano lessons, family dinners, and Sunday school lectures. Nothing really mattered. […]
