Summer edition

Recipes I've made, liked, and wanted to keep.

A running log of what I've baked, what worked, and the small adjustments that turned a good recipe into one I'll actually make again.

WHAT GET BAKED IS

A place for recipes worth making again.

Get Baked is where I track the recipes that earned a second try — plus the tweaks that got them there. Sometimes that's swapping an ingredient because I was curious what it'd do. Sometimes it's just remembering to pull something out five minutes earlier next time.

Seasonal cravings Ripe fruit in summer, warm spices in fall — I bake toward whatever's actually good right now, not what a calendar says I should want.
Flavor pairings Why brown butter and stone fruit work. Why a pinch of salt makes chocolate taste more like chocolate. The combinations that make a recipe click.
Notes for next time What helped, what changed, what I'd do differently — the stuff I'd forget by the next time I bake it.

Currently baking

Peaches, berries, cobblers, and a lot of ice cream.

Summer means ripe fruit doing most of the work, low-effort weekend bakes, and desserts that are basically an excuse for a scoop of something on top.
