I grew up eating Nutella, the Italian chocolate and hazelnut spread. It was always my favorite.
I remember my mother being a great cook but when it came to baking, it was not her thing.

So Nutella was the sweet treat that she would make for us.
A slice of bread with Nutella. The fact that she would fix it for us made it really special.
She would attempt to make 'pan di spagna' Italian sponge cake.
According to my brother, it was so yummy that he would always ask her to bake more.

She would spend hours on that cake! And when it was time to pull it out of the oven,
she had a happy face. The only thing that will make us go "oh no" was if the middle of the cake sank.
But it did not matter... Mom made it and we were happy.
Baking is not my thing either, and I truly believe it’s hereditary.
I am seriously trying to learn how to bake.
I am a big fun of the bakery, and I like healthy deserts, so today I put my Nutella away.

Instead, I decided to use blueberry jam and dark chocolate.
Today, I attempted to bake cupcake chocolate chip cookies.

a chart online that changed grams to cups.
When I finally put the cookies in the oven, however, I realized that I forgot to add the baking soda. D’oh,
too late! The cookies were already baking.

When I was working as a nanny in New Jersey, I
learned how to bake jelly jam cookies.
The kids’ grandmother would come over for the holidays from Canada. She would bake the cookies for us.
So I asked her to show me how to make them. After 2 attempts, they came out delicious!
I love to cook, but the art of baking is what I need to improve for the sake of my own children.

Today, when I was baking these yummy cupcake chocolate chip cookies, I forgot to add the baking soda and they did not rise like they were supposed to.
My mom’s cake would sink, and my cookies would not rise.
I realized today that I am a lot like her. I put my heart and passion into my cooking.
I know she did the same, and we loved her for that.
My mother 's sweet memories are associated with her baking mistakes.
How great is it to be able to smile thinking about it?!
Hopefully one day, my kids will enjoy my baking and have the same sweet warm feelings I have for my mother.
