    That's creamy and dreamy! I just found out that our very favorite chef/mixologist in training will be missing our annual New Year's party (she has NEVER missed it and and has been coming with her family since she was Des' age) and so maybe I need to whip these up to cheer people up.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
