Today will be a short post. I’ve been working on other projects over the weekend for my sewing business, so I haven’t had a lot of time to cook or bake anything in a few days. However, I still have one baked treat from last week to show you: chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes! Last week,…

Everything is Better With a Unicorn!
Today is the day, everyone! Well, technically yesterday was. But today I get to talk about it! Yesterday was my niece, Stella’s, third birthday. She is totally into unicorns right now and really wanted a unicorn birthday party. What the princess wants, she gets! I have been thinking about her birthday cake for the last…
Ain’t That a Cake in The Head
Happy Saturday! Today I’m going to be diving into the weird world of cakes from my limited point of view. A few days ago, I showed you guys my second attempt at decorating a “fancy” cake for a family birthday. But I skipped talking about the first part of the cake making, and moved straight…
Aspar-I-Guess
Happy Friday, everyone! It has been one super long week over here. Today’s post touches on another healthy food. Each month, I go on a search for healthy, low carb dinners to make for the following four weeks. One of the meals I made this week was salmon with keto cauliflower risotto, and asparagus. Anyone…
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Good Morning, everyone. I know you’re all probably dying to know that the challenge is this month for Sally’s Baking Addiction. I was actually surprised when it came out, as it’s one of my favorite desserts, but one that I’ve never made before: Lemon Bars. When I was a kid, I remember my Nan (grandmother)…
Back up, Cake!
As some of you know, one of my big goals this year is to work on and improve my cake decorating skills. So far, I have none, but I’m working on it. This last weekend we celebrated a family birthday and I was once again, asked to make a second, or back up cake, to…
Piggies in A Blanket
Welcome to my little corner of March’s #greatbritishbakeoffinternational challenge. I really enjoy doing these challenges with my baking friends. I learn so much by baking a new kind of food and by seeing other’s successes and failures. For this month’s challenge, we picked “Pigs In a Blanket”. However, the dough was not a crescent roll…
Lemon Blueberry Danish in a muffin
Happy Muffin Monday, everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve focused on low carb muffins. And I’m telling ya, I miss it! Today I’m sharing a recipe for Lemon Blueberry Cheese Danish Muffins. I know that’s a mouthful to say. It’s also a mouthful of amazing flavors! The recipe itself is very long and intense,…
White Chocolate Brownies
Ok, so I promised that I’d get back to some good old fashioned baking on here, and today is the day! This week I went searching for a new sugary recipe on Sally’s website. It’s usually a good place to start. After much deliberation, I settled on a recipe for White Chocolate Brownies. Now I’ve…
Enchiladas Gone Wild
Ok, so I know that my blog is titled “baking adventures”, and the last few posts, including this one, have been about healthy dinners. However, they are all dinners that were BAKED in the oven, so it counts, right? Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to bake a lot of pretty desserts lately. Between work and…
