Hey there, I’m Sam!

Resident sugar-fiend and your new baking bff. I left my former life as a researcher to study the art of making carefully tested, well-researched (of course), and perfected desserts — and a few savory dishes, too! Welcome to my sweet little corner of the internet! Take a look around, I think you’ll find something you like!

Fall Recipes

When the weather starts to get a bit cooler, and the leaves are falling from the trees, it’s time for all the cozy flavors and spices of fall. From browned butter and pumpkin to caramelized apple and apple di, it’s time to start making the best fall recipes!
