About Me

Welcome to Sunday Bakers & thank you for stopping by! I'm Colette and I'm a mom and wife who loves to make the kitchen messy throwing around flour and trying out new recipes. I'm a self-taught, mom-taught, grandma-inspired baker who recently fell head over heels for food photography. My kids are rather annoyed that they have to wait to try something fresh from the kitchen because I need the right lighting. My dogs are regularly circling the food photography stage just waiting for my guard to drop for a second so that they can get their paws on the goods (who said this would all be smooth sailing, right?).
Why Sunday Bakers? Like most, I'm juggling this amazing and crazy family/work shuffle and I find myself gravitating to the kitchen at the weekends. I'm a fitness enthusiast, I recently finished my yoga teaching certification, and I believe that delicious greens and decadent chocolate cake are both part of a healthy balance. I love food made from scratch. I love farm to table. I love Kerrygold Irish Butter more than anyone probably should love butter. I'm an Irish native living in New England and soaking up all of its four seasons every year.
This blog is my creative outlet where I will share my kitchen messes, bloopers...and sometimes successes. You can expect a post once per week of my own recipe creation or sometimes I will share my baking journey as I work my way through some recipes of others' who inspire me. I test my own recipes at least once, sometimes more, but I don't always have the time to run them through again and again so please don't hesitate to reach out with a question or a comment.
Some of my recipes will be indulgent and others are on the lighter side as I try to create my own healthy life. Many will be inspiration from my native Ireland and my rock star baking mother and grandmothers. My hope is to help readers realize that homemade, delicious & beautiful baking can still fit into the busy schedule at their own pace.
If you would like to learn more about my recipes in addition to what you see here, I'm honored and grateful to have recipes featured on Finding Vegan, Food Gawker and the Peaceful Dumpling.
Let's bake!
