Testing Turkish pide this afternoon to serve with my 🇬🇷 juicy chicken souvlakia for dinner! https://thescranline.com/chicken-souvlaki/

So help me god, if one more person asks me if they can use less sugar in my recipes, I will turn this care around and NOBODY will get cookies!

I think simple desserts that are designed to taste good and be enjoyed when eaten are far better than desserts that are designed to look good but lack flavor and texture and are dry and boring. Give me an ugly great tasting dessert over a perfectly sculpted chemical ridden one any day. This coming from the guy who created this stunningly gorgeous abomination lol give me sponge and fresh cream!!!!

This mornings events before daycare: 🥣 👖👕🧦🥛💩🚘

My most commonly used emojis: 💜💩🎉. The emojis parents send to each other when their toddler does their first poop in two days. This is parenting.

There’s two things I love looking at. Cookie ripples and curved brick designs on houses. I will slow down to appreciate both.

Serious question. Is it the goal of the writers of ‘Bluey’ to make parents weep uncontrollably every single episode? Why is an episode about rain making me cry…

Ok, batch #2 just went into the fridge for an overnight rest so all the ingredients can get to know each other! 😂

So I baked the cookies on a higher temperature this morning, they did not come out higher. They’d been chilling in the fridge all night. They darkened around the edges and stayed almost raw in the centre. Re-making the cookie dough with slightly more flour today to test again!
