Hi there! I’m Stephanie – welcome to my little corner of the internet.
If you’re here, you’ve probably figured out that I love baking. In fact, I love baking so much that I wrote a cookbook – “The One-Bowl Baker“. It’s full of delicious desserts and baked goods for all occasions, including breakfast, parties, and ordinary days. There are even a handful of savory bakes!
I started this blog as a way to share my recipes and my love of food with this little corner of the internet-food world. There’s a kind of satisfaction that comes with whipping up a fresh batch of cookies, or finally settling on the perfect chocolate cake base recipe after testing it dozens of times.
I believe in cooking and baking at home! My goal is to give you the confidence and know-how to make, dessert (and more!) from scratch. I hope that my kitchen-tested recipes will get you excited about cooking and show you how good food can taste.

You’ll find all sorts of recipes here – I don’t follow any specific diet, and I believe in eating a little bit of everything! I love my veggies, and I love my pizza, and I love my dessert. It’s all about balance ?. Be warned that I have a serious sweet tooth, though!
On any given day you can likely find me whipping up a batch of cookies or finding a new use for my cast-iron pan.
When I’m not in my kitchen (which isn’t too often – I’ve had friends ask me if I ever leave the kitchen, true story), I enjoy running or taking walks outside with my husband Grant, playing board games, reading cookbooks, exploring our home city of Madison, WI, and binge-watching Cheers and Alfred Hitchcock movies.
Current faves include: This 10-Minute Homemade Caramel Sauce, and these Lemon Meringue Pie Cookies. Curious about my food photography? Start with my 10 Easy Ways to Improve Your Food Photography!
I’m so glad you’re here & I can’t wait for us to make some amazing food together!
