Come on over and Have a Little Something

a welcome post

A little housekeeping: If you’ve shared your email with me through Apt 2B Baking Co, thank you! I’ve moved that list over to Substack, which is why you are receiving this message. Make sure to check your spam folder or promotions tab in your inbox to ensure these messages don’t get lost.

Have a Little Something is…a little something that I have been thinking about for a long time.

This newsletter is an invitation into my kitchen to see how I cook and bake on a daily basis for my family. I’ll share cozy recipes that invite you to come in and stay awhile. It might be a little something to celebrate, something sweet, a little something in the afternoon or before dinner, or a little something FOR dinner. Most of all this is a place for low stress and fun cooking! Having lived in New York apartments without a dishwasher my entire adult life, rest assured that I won’t make you do any more dishes than completely necessary. I’m also the parent of a toddler, so I know a thing or two about streamlining time in the kitchen. 

As the priorities in my life have changed in the last few years, building a fun, supportive, non-judgemental, community about sharing food and recipes is more important to me than ever. I am so excited to go on this journey with all of you. I’ve missed connecting with my community at a more sustainable pace than social media allows, and this newsletter seems like the perfect way to reconnect with all of you and grow that community.

I’ve written and photographed three cookbooks. My first, Sweeter off the Vine was released in 2016, my second, Snacking Cakes in 2020 and my third, Snacking Bakes in 2023 all about low stress, low mess baking. If you’ve ever wondered what it is like to make a cookbook or write recipes you’ll get exclusive peeks behind the scenes and so much more.

Unpaid Subscribers get 1 recipe per month and early access to workshops, events, and announcements.

Paid Subscribers will receive 3 additional recipes per month, access to holiday hotlines where you can ask me all of your cooking and hosting questions (and a holiday cookie EXTRAVAGANZA I have planned for you), the ability to participate in chats and comment on posts, exclusive giveaways, behind the scenes content, and more.

And if that all sounds fun to you, please subscribe and share with a friend! More soon!
