Baking through the Martha Stewart app
My new friend Genoa went back and read every single blog I’ve written. When she asked if she could help me bake, the answer was simple: no.
OMG I’m kidding. Of course I said yes. I wanted to pick something relatively easy since Genoa says she doesn’t cook or bake. I thought she was exaggerating until I found an unopened, expired bag of flour in her cupboard.

I’ve been putting these off/I wasn’t going to do them because I don’t eat marshmallows. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m vegetarian, so I don’t eat gelatin. Surprise! They sell vegan marshmallows. We’re back in business.

Someone at work read my blog and was appalled that I didn’t have a peanut butter section. I’ve made a couple cookies with PB, and in that spirit, I went for these next.
These are in the “Kids Cookies” section, so they’re a piece of cake, right? Continue reading

These might seem like they’re meant for the holidays. That’s because they came from the Sugar and Spice section of the app.
