About Me

Soooo, what's super ironic is that for the first 30 years of my life, I didn’t enjoy, er… hated cooking. I often found myself in the kitchen mid-cooking soon realizing I was missing an important ingredient -- like making Honey Dijon Chicken and discovering I didn’t have any mustard! The shift came when I realized I much preferred looking into the pantry, seeing what was on hand, and creating something from scratch rather than trying to follow someone else’s recipe.

Cascadian Farm Berry Puffs + {Rainbow Trail Mix}

Babycakes adores trail mix.

A little sweetness from the fruit, a little crunch from the nuts and cereal (and sometimes a hidden gem -- aka. a dark chocolate chip or two thrown into the mix)... it's a great balance of nutrition! And now there's a new addition we love: ... Read more » about Cascadian Farm Berry Puffs + {Rainbow Trail Mix}
