Autumn is here in full force (in my neck of the woods, at least) and that means it’s time for my favourite flavour combination of all time: apple and cinnamon! It’s a classic and it’s delicious. The start of autumn always marks my birthday as well; I turned 29 last week, and although I didn’t […]

In my opinion, very few things can top a good apple pie. It’s a classic for a reason! I don’t really bake it all that often, though, because when I’m craving apple pie, I don’t want to have to make a dough, then wait for it to rest, then roll it out, then create a […]

I’m still going strong with the easy bakes, and this one is another example. When I baked this apple and olive oil cake a week or two ago, I really didn’t know what I wanted to bake at first. I was coming up with complicated ideas that just ended up stressing me out, and I […]

The weather has been changing quite rapidly for the past two weeks, and I think it’s pretty safe to say autumn has come. That’s […]

My semester is almost over, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, so these days I’m mostly busy with studying for my last exam and going over the final draft of my essay one last time. But when my friend Fooke invited me over to her place last week to bake a cake together, I was hardly […]

As I’ve mentioned before, baking has a therapeutic effect on me; it calms me down and destresses me. When I need that kind of baking therapy I usually go for a muffin recipe, and that is what happened last week. I don’t know what it is about muffins, but I find them very calming. That […]

I thought apple turnovers were a Dutch delicacy, until I Googled them this morning. Turns out, they’re quite international! I didn’t do any extensive research on them or anything, but Wikipedia didn’t mention any specific origin, and Google gave lots of non-Dutch recipes, so that made things kinda clear. The reason I thought they were […]
