About Brown Eyed Baker
Welcome to Brown Eyed Baker – a food and cooking blog full of recipes and pictures to get you in the kitchen!
Welcome to my virtual kitchen. Why “Brown Eyed Baker”? Well, in case you can’t tell from the picture, I am indeed a brown-eyed girl. I also love to bake, and, over time, it has become the focal point of my blog. And so, Brown Eyed Baker was born. I do not have formal cooking or baking/pastry training, so everything you see on this blog is a result of techniques that I have picked up along the way or taught myself over time. I am definitely not an expert, but I am indeed proud of the progress I have made as a home baker.
About the Blog
Since I have already declared myself a baker by way of my blog name, it is a safe assumption that most of what you will find on my blog focuses on baking and the resulting sweets. Of course I don’t pump myself full of sugar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so I do also cook. You will find a smaller selection of meals scattered throughout the chocolate, cakes, and cookies. I am not a fancy or gourmet cook, so if you’re looking for a recipe for osso bucco, lamb chops, or veal scallopini, you most likely will not find it here. What you will find in the way of “meal-type-food” is a selection of more classic and comfort foods such as pastas, soups, stews, appetizers/dips, and an all-time favorite, roasted potatoes.
Special Thanks/Credit
Thank you to Lauren Norris (sister extraordinaire) and Rachel Kern for their tireless efforts in creating my logo, header, and multiple designs on the blog. They really captured the look I was going for and they put up with my endless questions and tweaking requests. Thank you ladies so much for all of your help!

Hi — love your blog. So much so that I’ve listed you on my new blog From the French Kitchen: http://thefrenchkitchen.wordpress.com/
I love the recipes and pictures you post!
I’m very new to this and am fascinated by so many great food blogs. I hope you’ll have a second to look at my site and give me any tips you have.
Thanks!
Chelle! It’s gpointewife from The Nest…I haven’t been around in a l.o.n.g time….just wanted to check in with your blog, and it’s amazing! Great Big CONGRATS on your business….your work looks beautiful!
Hi! I wanted to introduce myself – I’ve followed your blog for a long time but have never commented until now. I’ve made several of your recipes and love them. I’m part Italian, so I appreciate all your recipes and stories of your heritage!
I read your posts for quite a long time and should tell that your posts always prove to be of a high value and quality for readers.
Love your blog! I just added you to my blog roll on the blog that I very recently birthed (www.heidisfullplate.com).
Heidi – Glad you’ve found my blog and that you are enjoying it! Thanks for adding me to your blogroll!
Wow! Fantastic pictures. I am doing menu planning for this week and will be trying out your banana’s foster bread. Sounds scrumptious. Thanks for the idea.
I LOVE your colors this was my wedding colors….your website and recipes are so user friendly. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
I have a challenge list too (although I didn’t think to publish it – great idea) – and I really like how you’re actually doing the baking. So many sites are just referrals to other recipes and pictures, and it’s good to know there are true bakers out there! I’m definitely following you on RSS, you have some terrific ideas.
I love the beautiful photos!
Hi Stacy – Thank you very much!
Hi Michelle,
I’m a local photographer, Arnold, PA. I can’t believe that I just found you!!!! I searched for canned tomatoes on flickr, which led me to the bitten word, which led me to your site and the Arancini recipe. When I read about Mazzioti’s bread and Arnold, PA I was floored!!! I can’t wait to read through your blog, recipes, and adventures.
I was just talking about starting a facebook group where we share recipes, but I think I’ll just put a link to your blog!!!! It’s totally awesome and full of yummy delight.
peace and cartwheels,
merrit
Great photos btw!
i love your website!!!!
thank you for being so generous with all your recipes (:
i can’t wait until i try them out. thanks (:
WOW! You are not a home chef. You are a pro with a great eye and palate. L-O-V-E the blog. Go, Browneyedbaker, Go!
your photography is great!
I just noticed from FoodBuzz that you are from Pittsburgh! So am I! Where at?
Love your blog! I am a good cook, but cannot bake even the simplest recipe. I am looking forwarding to trying the No-bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookies!!!
Found this website recently and LOVE it. I love the detail, step by step and pics! Amazing. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this.
It was fun to find Sugardaddy’s, Throwdown Blondie Champs, mentioned on your great blog site. Your blondie recipe looks delish. http://www.sugardaddys.com. Our best to you!
There are no coincidences in life…I just rented the movie…Julie and Julia … and your blog reminds me of it. I absolutely LOVE the Roses cake…for I am known as the “Rose” girl …that is my signature for my psychotherapy and life coaching business (www.CoachingToLOVE.com. I look forward to having a party just so I can order your cake!
Sending you much success and blessings,
Sue (also a brown eyed girl!)
I love your website! I first found your sugar cookie tips around Valentine’s Day, but have just gotten into food blogging and have been able to look around at more of your recipes. Holy cow! They all look so yummy!
So, from someone who just started a food blog a few months ago (mostly for baking), tell me how you do it? How often are you baking these delicious foods? Once you bake them, do you give them away to friends and neighbors? I am trying to find the balance of baking yummy (and usually fattening foods) and still sticking to a healthy diet and weight which typcially doesn’t include too many sweets. It is a fine line to walk!
Thanks for all the great recipes and photos.
