Do you remember when you started drinking coffee?  Did you start young or a little later?

Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do you remember your first baking experience?  Did you make cookies?  Or brownies?  Or something more complex than those?  I remember baking cookies for the first time and totally being clueless that there is such a thing as 'over mixing'.  Over mixing is never a good thing; we must all remember that.  But unfortunately for me, I sure did mix the cookie dough quite vigorously.  Let's just say those cookies weren't the easiest/most pleasant to bite into.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yes, I know... another post about bananas.

Hazelnut Cocoa Chocolate Chip Brownies

Where my 'I'd rather stay at home than (insert whatever it is that you'd rather not be doing)' buddies at?!

Funfetti Birthday Cake

A happy birthday to you if today happens to be the day you came into the world xx years ago!  If it has already passed, still, happy birthday, gal/pal!

So...what was your birthday cake for this year?  Did you have a pro make it? Or did you DIY?

Because I did. 😎

(This is going to be a long post! You've been warned!)

A rant of sorts is what you'll be reading from the jump. 😬

Double Chocolate Macadamia Brownies

...and a variety of sprinkles on the top for aesthetic purposes only (let's be real here).

So, hello.  Here I am again, unable to start a blog post despite doing this blogging thing for years now.

Double Chocolate Cashew Nut Brownies

After I made these brownies, I realized I didn't use my mixer.

Again.

I  appreciate all the hard work it is able to do but most of the time a no-mixer recipe is just what I need.

Toasted Marshmallow Squares

Let me begin by saying that one Sunday, I got a very nice and sweet surprise whilst browsing the cooking/baking section at a bookstore.

I did a double take because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!

What am I gushing about? Well, it's that majestic object in the center of the photo above!
