hey all! my name is Casey and I love food. end of story. eh..maybe.. many readers might very well think that all I do is eat, which may not be that far from the truth. But in all seriousness I do try to lead a somewhat healthy lifestyle. I play soccer for my high school varsity team and a club team and I workout at least 6 times a week whether it is with my team or on my own.
In the warm months of the year (those few short ones we get here in the midwest) I love running 5K races with my dad. We have found them to be kind of a friendly competition that oddly bonds us together. Plus the races always benefit some great organization! Now that is what I call a win-win situation.

I have baked and cooked with my mom all my life. My earliest baking memories go back to when I was lil tater tot and my mom would have “Cookie Friday” and we would bake chocolate chip cookies together for us to eat when my brother and sister came home from school (and when I say we baked them, I mean she would bake them and I would eat the dough). Ever since then I have truly enjoyed baking and cooking. It somehow always relaxes me and amazes me at what incredible things come from such simple ingredients.
Keeping up a blog is definitely something that has become a huge aspect of my life. At times blogging can feel like homework, but it’s FUN homework. Woah… fun homework? Maybe homework is not the right word, but it can get stressful at times when I have lots of tests, homework, and other things going on with my life and then taking pictures, editing, and writing a post seem impossible. Even though blogging may seem like a job at times, it is something that I feel like I would never be able to give up. I love the satisfaction of making something delicious and hearing reader’s feedback. At the end of the day, it is all worth it.
Feel free to ask me any questions! I’m all ears for suggestions as well:)
Me and my awesome Dad (do you see the handy rope that attaches to his sunglasses around his neck?...super fashionable, right? *cough* *cough*)
I am loving reading your blog today. Nice baking recipes too!
Hey Casey, nice blog and thanks for the comment from yesterday. Thought I’d stop by and drop a comment.
All the depictions and pictures in your blog of the delectable food is making me drool and thus I must resist the prospective temptation of tearing apart my kitchen for tasty sweets.
Nice blog (as you can see I’m a fan of repetition)! I’m definitely a new regular reader, and I’ve just added your site to my blogroll.
Your blog looks like fun! A bunch of recipes caught my eye while browsing your recipe page. I will definitely stop by again.
Have a Wonderful DAY and Week! Do your best on finals and know that you will be completed before you know it.

You’re writing style totally rocks, except I actually do laugh out loud, which means I cannot read this in public. Darn.
Nice blog. I love that you have grown up baking with your mum. I hope my daughters have the same fond memories. They love licking the spoons and bowls. You have some great recipes. Thanks for stopping by my blog too.
