In the Kitchen with my Girl

Emma made her first batch of chocolate chunk cookies. She started off by marveling at the giant bar of chocolate I was cutting chunks off of and proceeded to sneak many chunks. Quality control, I guess. She made some kick ass white chocolate/milk chocolate chunk cookies. Her she is giving a thumbs up to her first batch!

Congratulations! It's a Tart!

I had such a nice time making this tart. It was beautiful every step of the way. I love to roll the dough and fit it into the ring. I love to mix the filling, slice the apples, brush on the butter, sprinkle the vanilla sugar and then glaze with the cinnamon caramel when it's still hot. Here is summer and fall all in a tart. It smells fresh, rich, homey and inviting. This is the mama tart and below you will see the babies.


I fall in love with my baked goods. I really do. They are like a good secret, safe to share, doesn't hurt anyone, makes everyone smile.
