Corona cooking: cookie edition

I honestly don’t know why but I am kinda sad this is my last blog post.  I have a lot of fun baking/ cooking then researching the reactions behind the food that I made- or sometimes applying my own (limited) chem knowledge.  It’s been really…

Quarantine Food Cake

On this week of quarantine cooking (week 3???) I tried to make angel food cake… it was an experience.  We don’t make angel food cake often it’s more of a treat we buy from Acme every now and then, but I have to say it’s…

F-F-Fajitas!!!
