I'm Tysa! In 2011, I developed a fierce dedication to baking. At the time, I prided myself on being the single girl who was always on the go, traveling, dinners out with friends, etc. Then time stopped when my mom became gravely ill and came to live with me, her one and only child, for eight weeks.  While I nursed her back to health, I found that there are only so many books you can read, so many movies you can watch and so many bathrooms you can organize before you go stir-crazy.  So I ordered a kitchen aid mixer and started baking and testing out recipes on mom.  The rest is history as mom is back in good health and the present is this blog.  A little part of the internet dedicated to my adventures in baking and mastering the best recipes I can find as well as the random lessons I've learned from playing with food. Enjoy!
