As I promised yesterday, today’s post will answer the question: “What do I do if I have leftover apple and/or apple cider donuts that are a few days old?” My family and I faced this exact same dilemma recently after one of our trips to Apple Hill resulted in buying […]

Hello! My Name is Carly and I love everything about food. I enjoy learning more about savory cooking, trying new dishes or treat recipes, and discovering a new restaurant or bakery with delicious items that expand my food experiences. My absolute favorite things to make are desserts because I grew up watching and helping my mom bake in the kitchen. Above all, I am truly passionate about food because it combines my love of art, science, and – most importantly – bringing people together.
