Recipes

I enjoy baking. It feels pretty cool to be able to make something (that's why I have this website), and it's even better when it's something delicious I can eat. I have a sweet tooth, so I enjoy exploring desserts I can make for my friends and myself.

Here are some recipes for baked goodies, sweet and savory. I've made or eaten all of these at least once. Some of them are from books and some of them were contributed by family members. No pictures right now, sadly. I made this page as an archive for myself so I can find recipes I want to make again. I'm sharing them with you to share the love of baked treats. Try your best!
