My Story
It all began when I was a teenager, and I discovered my mom didn’t particularly enjoy being in the kitchen. By this time, I had developed a sweet tooth, so to satisfy my cravings, I had to bake my own treats. My love for baking (and eating what I bake) has only increased over the years. Baking became my joyful escape and creative outlet, a way to express love through delicious baked goods.
As my baking journey progressed, I realized I was a very basic baker. When a recipe called for ingredients I had never heard of, I quickly tossed it aside. If it included something I didn’t readily keep on hand, I might try the recipe, but usually didn’t keep it. I loved to bake, but my passion wasn’t in using gourmet recipes or ingredients. It was in making simple things taste as good as possible. With Basic Baking and Bags, my goal is to simplify baking, using basic pantry ingredients that anyone can find. I believe that everyone should enjoy the pleasures of baking without intimidation, and that means approachable, easy-to-follow recipes.
