10 years later…
10 years ago I started this little blog. 10 years. I never would have even imagined this little website would have survived one year, let alone ten.

Obviously, I haven’t been active on here in the past couple of years, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate this blog, my readers, and the food. Obviously, the food. I grew SO MUCH in the kitchen thanks to this blog. We come back here regularly to reuse old recipes and get inspiration for new ones.

If you still follow me on instagram, you’ll notice I’m not posting food pics much more. I’ve moved on to spending my free time with Hubby and Mikayla. And, I’ve started sewing for her. It’s actually very similar to baking for me.

But this blog will always be my first baby. I may not be adding new content going forward, but I love everything about this little corner of the internet that I can call my own.

Thanks for reading!






I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






I don’t remember seeing those chocolate chip cheesecake cookie dough bars… I’m sure if I had, I would have made them by now! They look awesome. (And I’m one of the admirers of your spice rack.)
I’d never seen that spice rack of yours before! So cool! All those recipes sound fab!
that spice rack is insane! I became extremely jealous of your kitchen just now. fun to see which recipes got the most hits.
I really need to try making those Oreo cupcakes sometime! They look delicious!
What a wonderful year of blogging! Wishing you and C a Happy New Year!
It’s interesting that most of these top choices are desserts…I guess most of your readers have a sweet tooth!
P.S. That spice rack is SO cool.
Your kitchen looks so nice! And I will def be trying those oreo cupcakes and the red velvet cheesecake 🙂
I’ll tell you how you can go wrong with the chocolate overdose cake. You can drop the brownie and cake layers on the floor. Ugh. I did end up making some very delicious chocolate overdose cake balls with the bigger pieces though…
