Let’s get this out of the way up front- this is not a blog that steals your youth with hours of scrolling before you get to the recipe you were looking for. It’s a collection of my favorite meals and desserts- some I created, some I found. Some are ancient and some are a result of a tireless deep dive through THOSE blogger recipes. I’m not going to be that person. You don’t need to know how I came across this recipe, who I feed with it, what position the moon was in when I first made it. In lieu of a thesis paper before every recipe, you get this little paragraph and the knowledge that every recipe is tried and true. If it made it to this page, it’s because I love it, my family and friends love it, and if you follow the directions, you will love it too! It’s my personal arsenal of not only sweets, but dinner recipes as well.
