Hi, I'm Tashina!

Welcome to my blog! Light a candle, pour some tea and bite into something indulgent (maybe start with my triple chocolate chip cookies!) and let's get to know each other.

​

When I was little, I'd watch my mom turn box cake mix into rum cake, black cake, anything at all. I loved helping her clean the mixing bowls and eventually developed my own love for baking as an adult.

​

I’m not a professional, I bake purely for the joy of it. When quarantine began in 2020, like many others, I found myself cooking and baking more and wanting a place where everything I tried and loved could live. I’ve had a signature cookie recipe for some time and began developing other recipes for fun. So, this blog is my virtual cookbook of sorts where I share the goods on what I think are sweet, cozy and delicious.

 

Here you'll find comfort style foods with simple ingredients that don't take long to make, with holidays and events the exceptions. Because I'll do anything for a theme!

​

2020 was also the year I started writing some of my thoughts and prayers, in the form of devotionals. That year was so heartbreaking, frustrating and numbing. I needed an outlet to intentionally remember the good, confront the messy and practice gratitude. I truly hope they encourage you and that this can be a safe space to cozy up with something warm and read a little something that’ll warm your soul too.

​

So, what about you, friend? How'd you get into baking? Feel free to send me a message, I'd love to hear from you!
