  • Chocolate Soufflé

    Good morning all!!! It has been WAY too long since I published a post on this blog, so to begin, a little life update: First off, I am enrolled in two summer classes. The first, neuroanatomy, is online and is wickedly difficult, spanning the entire four months of summer. I just did my second online…

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies 

    Good morning!!! If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you might remember that I did a post about chocolate chip cookie baking for one of the days of Blogmas. However, my friend Travis with whom I do most of the baking that appears on this blog, turned 28 on Thursday and we wanted…

  • Peanut Butter Cookies

        Good morning!!!  My goodness, June is almost half over and I have not published a single post yet. This isn’t from a lack of interest–I have lots of posts in my drafts– but I seem to have an issue with finishing posts and hitting the ‘publish’ button. On Friday, I visited my grandparents…

  • Double Chocolate Cheesecake 

    I am debating starting a Baking With Travis series on this blog because my friend Travis and I got together once again last Wednesday for some baking. We endeavoured to make a chocolate cheesecake. My grandmother recommended Martha Stewart’s triple chocolate cheesecake recipe, but we made a few modifications.  Ingredients 1 package (9 ounces) chocolate…

I celebrated the holiday with my mother and grandparents and, while my grandparents insisted that they prepare dinner, I got to bring the dessert: a giant cupcake cake!!! Here are a few pictures of the baking process 🙂 🙂…

  • Vanilla Cupcakes

    Hello there 🙂 🙂  A few weeks ago, I learned that my friend Travis had never baked cupcakes before in his life. I was completely shocked that he had made it almost 28 years on this planet without ever making them, so we got together last Wednesday to bake. I loved this recipe I got…

  • Blogmas Day 9: Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Hello there all!!! The last few days have been kind of crazy with Christmasy goings-on and I haven’t been keeping up with my daily Blogmas posts about them. So today, December 13th, will mark the most posts published on Literary and Lovely in one day to date. I’ll do my best to stagger them a…

  • Blogmas Day 8: Homemade Nanaimo Bars

    Good morning all!!! For anyone who might not know, Nanaimo bars are a three layer dessert featuring a crumb-based layer, a butter icing layer, and to top it off, a melted chocolate layer. A super cool fact is that these delicious no-baking-required treats are named after a west coast city very close to my own…

  • Blogmas Day 2: Christmas Baking

    Good afternoon all!!! One of my favourite festive things to do is Christmas baking with my grandmother. Every year, we test out new recipes and make old favourites, and for this round of baking we wanted to make one of our traditional recipes: shortbread cookies. They are super easy to make, and so delicious to…
