I'm here and I'm alive! It's the middle of the summer season here in Ireland (yes, even though it definitely doesn't feel like summer, with all that wind and rain...). Summer season means holidays, which means lots of visitors to this Green Isle, and K...

It's middle of September so... for me "pumpkin season" has started! :) I know that I'm not alone waiting in anticipation for those first days of Autumn to finally dig into that can of pureed pumpkin, to bake those gorgeous cakes and cookies, to fill in...

What's better than home baked cookies...? What's better than peanut butter cookies...? What's better than peanut butter cookies with strawberry jam...? Hardly anything! ;)Cookies are usually quick to whip up together, to shape and bake... But they also...

I really haven't planned to bake last weekend. There's so much going on in my life now that I actually never thought of it! How bad is that.... But having two little girls at home made me remember our "mummy's day off routine" very quickly! But what no...

I'm really not keen on any lemony bakes. Don't know why, but they all taste to me like a washing up liquid... I just had bad experience with all I tired up to date, yes - I've never made anything "lemony" myself. I was quite worried when making those. ...

Few days ago there was a big celebration at my hones. My older Baby Girl's birthday. She's 5 years old now "Mummy, I'm a big girl now!". Yes, she is ;) As she was becoming a big girl I decided to ask her what kind of cake she wants for her birthday, ra...

I have to admit - I have never ever before heard about "pecan sandies". When looking through the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook I just thought they're another recipe for cookies. Apparently they have some history in the USA, south of America to be exact. ...

I'm a sucker for chocolate, but who isn't, even from time to time ;) Baking those little truffle cookies was really a "spur of the moment". At that stage I was already in the kitchen for better part of the day (cooking and cleaning afterwards...), but ...

I'm a sucker for a good cake. I like cakes with different textures - soft, but something crunchy or creamy in them at the same time. This cake ticks all the boxes! It's soft, but has crunchy streusel topping and... crunchy surprise inside ;) It's a com...

Starting this new year with one of my favorite (and who knew it will become one!) form of baking - cupcakes :) I simply can't resist a soft, sweet "mini cake", especially when they're still warm, straight from the oven - and on the side, a must o...

October, rainy and windy weather, all the brown yellow leaves, all the pumpkins in the shops! From what I can see all around the Internet Ireland isn't as crazy about its pumpkins as other countries, for example USA. I have to admit that I'm rath...
