I can’t believe that my maternity leave is almost over. I’m happy to be going back to my job but I’ll be sad not being with my little baby bear every day. We’ve been making the most of our time together though.

This is the second recipe that I made from The Messy Baker. It’s the first time that I’ve attempted to make any kind of fritter. I don’t know why I shied away from them before. It was delicious!

This is the first recipe I made from The Messy Baker. It was the perfect opportunity to use my pan from Quirky that a friend gave me for my birthday. I made these months ago but had to wait for the book’s publish date to share.

These are the daintiest marshmallows that I’ve made so far. Marshmallows made with egg whites are more delicate than the ones I’ve made with corn syrup. Once the marshmallows set they develop a very thin outer layer that’s almost crisp.

These Rice Krispie Treats are so much fun! I made them awhile ago using my leftover Kool Aid Pop Rocks Marshmallows but they seem more suited to spring and summer. I sprinkled the top with crushed meringues to make them look like little key lime pies.
