Hi. I'm Melissa, but for as long as I can remember, my family has called me Lulu. I was raised by a great cook, my mom, who was raised by a great cook, my Nana. I measure my life in meals: most of my holiday traditions revolve around food; when someone goes on vacation, I need daily updates, not on what they did, but on what they ate; and one of my favorite things to do is sit down on Sunday night or Monday morning and plan out the week's menu! I love to cook, and I love sharing great recipes with my friends!I started Lulu the Baker in the summer of 2008 as a place to keep track of some of my family's favorite recipes. It has since become a chronicle of the things we love to eat, the projects I love to make, and the occasional farm-related shenanigan. When I'm not cooking and baking, you can find me making last minute Halloween costumes for my kids, losing sleep over handmade baby shower invitations, and wondering how long we can keep our backyard chickens hidden from the homeowner's association.
Hi.... I randomly came across your blog and I have only read the carmelita post, but already I like you and your writing style and I really want to make Carmelitas! :) just thought I would let you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kk :)
DeleteIm trying to find out if you use self rising flour or plain?
ReplyDeleteI use regular old all-purpose flour in all recipes that call for flour--unless otherwise specified.
DeleteHey there, you have such a gorgeous blog, nice to meet you :)

ReplyDeleteSomeone on my FB wall shared a recipe for the Candy Cane Oreo Pops. Look so nice! I just got in from the store lugging the appropriate ingredients. And we're ready to go! My 4-year-old son has developed a love of cooking, no less cooking with ME! What fun. So we are going to make the pops shortly. Thanks for the sharing, and I appreciate your wit, sense of humor, and obvious appreciation (like myself) for all things delicious!
