The great thing about being able to bake is that there’s never a chance that our sugar cravings will go unsatisfied. In the mood for chocolate chip cookies? Gimme 30 minutes. Want some brownies?

S’mores Brownies
Hello hello! Did you guys have a good weekend? Dan and I did! We rented a cabin in Shenandoah Valley for my dad’s birthday, and it was awesome!

Nutella Buttercream Cookie Cups

Creamy Chocolate Cherry Bars
After the first day of the bar exam, my brain is mush and I’m bone-tired from being up since 5am, but…my stomach and tastebuds are happy. Very happy. These luscious, creamy chocolate cherry bars were meant to be a post-exam present to myself (bars to celebrate the end of the bar…heh heh heh), but I dipped in…read more »
Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
We bought the strangest bunch of bananas last week. They were green when we got them, which is fine, but what’s unusual is that they stayed green. We kept waiting for them to ripen and turn yellow so we could eat them, but…they just kept on being green until suddenly there were 7 very brown and…read more »
