Hi, I'm Tammy! My fascination with baking comes from my love of science and the magic of bringing together ingredients to produce something yummy. Coupling that with my appreciation of scotches and bourbons, I love to bake stuff, jot down my whisky tasting notes, and share my experiences with you!

October is here, so bring on the pumpkin spice!

October is all about pumpkins, pumpkin spice, and maybe a ghostie or two. Bake this moist and flavorful pumpkin bread studded with chocolate chips, or hide your sourdough starter discard in a pumpkin spice-glazed pumpkin cake that also has chocolate chips. For those that can't choose between pumpkin pie and pecan pie, you can have both in a richly flavored Praline Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin spice all the way!
