BROWN EYED BAKER

Back in February of 2007, I was living a couple of hours away from friends and family, and winter claustrophobia had begun to set in when I stumbled across a food blog online. I had always loved to bake (a gene my mom claims skipped a generation and went straight from my grandma to me) and enjoyed writing, so this seemed like a perfect way to escape the grey winter days. I figured it would be a creative outlet, perhaps nudge me to try some new, more challenging recipes, and my mom and sister cou... ld check out what I was making. That was nearly seven years ago and the rest, as they say, is history. What an amazing journey this has been! What you’ll find here are some of my favorite food groups: desserts, appetizers and loads of comfort food, all made primarily from scratch. My hope is that you leave the site with the insatiable urge to run into your kitchen and whip up what you’ve seen here, and the confidence to know that you can do it. Growing up in an Italian family, the kitchen was always the hub of activity – it’s where everyone gathered to talk, eat and share life while amazing food was being created. I am so happy to have you here in my virtual kitchen and hope you’ll return again and againMore
