I am a big fan of baking and baked goods! Particularly during the covid shutdown, I have really upped my baking game. My baked favorites include pies, cupcakes, cookies, scones, and more! Everything you need for an afternoon tea or a sweet celebration. I am always looking for new and delicious recipes as well as cute design ideas for adorable desserts.
I have started lovingly compiling my family recipes into a McAvoy Family Recipe Book. This Google Doc of recipes is very carb-forward and includes a lot of breakfast and dessert favorites as well as special holiday recipes (such as delicious and unique pineapple casserole for Thanksgiving). Other favorite baking adventures are detailed below:
