Hello, there!
I’m Hannah – lover of all things chocolate, breakfast food, Netflix, good reads, and lots of honey in my tea.
Aside from recipes for brownies, cookies, and other late-night snacking staples, you’ll also find recipes ranging from savory to sweet and from simple to more involved. No matter the complexity of the recipe, I’ll always include detailed instructions and any troubleshooting tips I can offer to insure sweet success in your own kitchen — all levels of kitchen expertise are welcome here 🙂
Now, how exactly did this little blog come about, you ask? It’s something I had been telling myself I would do for years, not to mention something quite a few family members and friends have been urging me to do for even longer. But, somehow, I’ve always felt too busy to make it a reality. I finally took the leap in 2016, during my final year at school (#UD #GoFlyers … anyone??). In addition to studying, paper-writing, and late night reading sessions, my college days were also pretty full of baking adventures (some hits, some misses) — all of which were inevitably consumed, thanks to my funny, sarcastic, and always hungry roommates/friends/taste testers.
Food has always been an integral part of my life and always seems to be central to so many of my happiest and favorite memories. From my first batch of Christmas sugar cookies made with the help and supervision of my big sister (which were from a Betty Crocker mix… shhh!), to my first triumph of the finicky French macaron, and all the successes (and failures) in-between, food has always been a constant in my life and a unifying force within my family and personal relationships. It’s my hope that this little space of mine embodies this love I have for food — and its ability to link people together through the histories, traditions, and learnings it’s always eager to share.
So now that you know the “how,” it’s time to figure out the “why.” Yes, you read that right – I say “figure out” because I still haven’t fully decided what exactly I expect from this little blog of mine. At the very least, though, this will be a creative space to share and develop recipes through my own kitchen adventures as I try to expand on my own knowledge and kitchen skills. I hope you’ll stick around for the journey and enjoy the recipes, stories, and ramblings (I tend to ramble) along the way.
Enjoy & stay hungry, my friends!
