“Rise” and shine… see what I did there:)
Hi! I’m Sonora, welcome to my little corner of the internet where the oven’s warm and everyone’s invited.
I love baking. The slow whisking, the hum of the oven, the way a kitchen smells when sugar meets heat, it’s my happy place. For health reasons, I’ve been vegan for the past four years, and that changed how I bake in the best way: it made me curious, creative, and big on options.
What you’ll find here is simple: everyday baking with choices. Most recipes come two ways, a classic version and a vegan version, so you can pick what fits your life, your pantry, or your cravings. I’ll always include easy swaps (think: what to do if you’re out of eggs, how to make it dairy-free, and which oils or plant milks work best) plus little notes on texture, flavor, and how to fix common oopsies.
I will have everything from simple dorm friendly 30 minute recipes to more complicated 72 hour recipes, so you can choose whatever challenge you’d like 🙂
Here are a few things you can expect:
- Cozy classics
- Vegan twins for most recipes, with clear, tested substitutions.
- Swap guides for butter, eggs, and dairy, why each option works and what changes in crumb and flavor.
- Tiny-kitchen tips so you can bake well with what you have.
- Seasonal recipes that lean on simple, affordable ingredients.
- Choose your own challenge: Everything from a quick 30 minute recipe to more complicated recipes for whatever challenge you want!
Grab your flower, favorite baking playlist and get ready to bake! Pull up a chair, pour something warm, and stay awhile. There’s a seat at this table for every kind of baker.
Happy baking,
Sonora
