About Me

Hi there! My name is Hong-Lean 紅練. I also go by Shirley. Call me whichever is comfortable to you. I love baking and trying out new recipes. Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new.

I live with my wonderful husband and two adorably large cats in upstate NY. I'm obsessed with musk ox babies because I got to feed and read to them a few times when we lived in Alaska. From time to time, I will post pictures of my cats, musk oxen, crafts, or travels, along with my cooking adventures.

If you want to follow me elsewhere, I am on facebook, pinterest, and bloglovin. You can find my blogger profile and contact me here. Please share your thoughts and baking experiences with me. I'd love to hear from you!
