The fall of 2010 was a bad time for me. Everything I'd experienced within the past year came crashing down on me, & I was miserably depressed. When I wasn't in therapy, I was in front of my TV, watching Law & Order under a blanket with my dog. There was nothing else I had the energy or motivation or even want to do. Until I re-discovered baking.
When I was younger, I used to make cookies every so often for my family. I loved everything about it. Mixing everything up, getting messy & making balls of dough & plopping them on the tray, watching the dough transform...it's all good & fun but the best part was sharing it with others. That always made me feel good, because I knew it made them feel good.
So one day my mom came home with a cookie mix because we were having some people over for dinner & she asked me to make them. I didn't want to, but I did it anyway, & the good feelings I had forgotten about came back. Since then, I haven't stopped baking. I'm starting to stray from box mixes & have begun trying recipes from scratch, which is why I created this blog. Here is where I will document & review the recipes I try.
