Hi there! I’m so excited you’re here. My name is Amanda.
Back in 2014 I decided to launch our sister website, The Chunky Chef, mainly because I was constantly cooking and realized I needed to catalog those recipes somewhere! I found, and still find, it hilarious that I even have a recipe website, because when I moved in with my husband, I could barely boil water. Seriously, it was bad. So if you're sitting there reading this, thinking to yourself, "I can't cook these recipes... I burnt those cookies the other day", or "Who am I kidding, I'm a terrible cook"... take a deep breath. Inhale.... exhale....
I'm living proof that you CAN cook these recipes, and you ARE a great cook. Trust me. You don't have to be a culinary arts graduate to create amazing desserts! My recipes will always contain helpful tips and tricks, as well as easy to follow step by step directions.
Now, does that mean you won't occasionally set off the smoke detector? Nope... because guess what... I still do that from time to time! In fact, I just burnt our garlic bread pretty bad the other night lol. Live and learn, right?
The point is.... keep going. Keep trying. Cooking/baking is truly an art form, and it's one of the things I'm most passionate about. So if you have a question, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
I've always loved desserts, but didn't really care for some of the fussiness that comes with certain dessert recipes. That's where the inspiration for this website came about. The love of all things sweet, combined with the reality of a busy working/parent life.
I really try to keep baking fun and delicious, while still being fast and easy. Whether you're wanting to learn to bake, or just want some quick go-to dessert recipes, you're in the right spot!
Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when we hit publish on a new recipe, and we'd love it if you followed us on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram for even more quick dessert favorites!
