Hi, I'm Stephanie! I like nerdy things and crafty things, and sometimes I make shitty comics and draw stuff. There is a strong possibility that I will only end up posting about my cats.

I am so sorry - I've been depriving you all of this intense kitten cuteness by not posting them!! But in my defense, these kids almost never stop moving!! 😹 Marley and the boys are doing great! They spend most of their days terrorizing me and each other while I work, and enjoy napping in adorable kitten piles once they are tired out! #cutekittens #kittencuddles #catnap #fosterkittens #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #bfashouston #marvelousmarley #camelliaandherlittlekitteas https://www.instagram.com/p/CixqAkfpbw4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The next bake is this beautiful Tahini Poppy Seed Pound Cake! After all the pies and breads lately, it was nice to make something I could whip up in an hour or so! This cake is moist and wonderful, as can be expected of all pound cakes, but the tahini adds a nutty flavor and it's not overly sweet. However, as far as sesame based cakes go, I prefer this summer's Black Sesame Halva Coffeecake for its fun texture. As always, recipe is from @kingarthurbaking #bakeoftheweek #baking #homebaking #homemade #tahinipoppyseedpoundcake https://www.instagram.com/p/CixpQFxOn43pFkMx0Ry2DjpAPi5NdZgRMEiZLk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Alaska may be a prissy spoiled brat who hates other cats...but he sure is cute! Check out that protruding fang and that happy sleepy smile! 😻 He is just so sweet and would make such a good companion for someone who only wants to have one kitty! #whitecat #longtermfoster #someoneadoptme #adoptme #adoptable #teefietuesday #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #houstonpetsalive #theateamkitties https://www.instagram.com/p/CivbNmRJPV7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend I baked these beautiful Maritozzi from @kingarthurbaking as one of the previous Bakes of the Week! I can't recommend these enough - soft and fluffy brioche stuffed with homemade whipped cream! So simple and yet so decadent! I topped mine with a little chopped chocolate and pistachios, but they're just as delightful without. I know what I'm having for breakfast the rest of the week! #baking #homebaking #homemade #bakeoftheweek #kingarthurbaking #maritozzi https://www.instagram.com/p/CivTM7Jus2k3qy07tARkeWZ43qihN3AdV0eVMg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am still playing catch up on my Bakes of the Week, so last week I made these delightful Grilled Garlic Knots! Ok fine, I cheated again because I still don't have a grill! But I wasn't going to NOT make these cheese-stuffed garlic knots! They were baked, not grilled, but they're amazing! Definitely a wonderful complement to any meal - after all, when is garlic bread not a good idea?? These are definitely a make again! #baking #bakeoftheweek #homemade #homebaking #garlicbread #kingarthurbaking https://www.instagram.com/p/Cid4p8Prk1Y61vpQyADpXnpdK6FFvR6ZZb920M0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well aren't we just one big happy family!! After Joy got adopted, Marley appointed herself the kitten babysitter, and after some initial apprehension. Camellia decided that was just fine by her! Now all five kitties cuddle together and Marley keeps the boys entertained (or rather, they keep her entertained! 😹) while Camellia takes a break! I love these sweethearts! 💖 #foundfamily #happyfamily #kittensofinstagram #fosterkittens #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #bfashouston #savethemall #bestfriendsanimalsociety #marvelousmarley #camelliaandherlittlekitteas https://www.instagram.com/p/CidWUySJhQT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend I tackled the next bake in the Bake of the Week series - Ginger Scallion Lobster Baos! These baos were sooo good and much easier than I anticipated! I don't eat shellfish so I skipped the lobster myself, but it had rave reviews from those who did enjoy it! Instead, I filled mine with my very favorite bao filling - pork belly!! I feel the sesame glaze really set these baos apart - these are sure to become a staple at our house now that I know how simple they are to make! #homebaking #homemade #bakeoftheweek #baking #kingarthurbaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CibYh8kLEai2r9MVoMFzI0NSAJq2s6IQShl8nQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's been a minute since I've posted but everyone here is doing great! We actually have a new rescue case... this sweet lady ran behind my house Friday night as I was returning from the store. I didn't recognize her but could tell she was super skinny, so I fed her and tried to befriend her. During the weekend we made a little progress and I was able to get this photo and a couple videos showing just what bad condition she is in! I've never seen such poor body condition - I can't imagine what this girl has been through! She is safe with us now and will be getting a vet visit and scanned for a chip! Hoping everything goes well and we can get her feeling better soon! #skinnycat #starvingcat #rescue #catrescue #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia5ExaJPfl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I skipped this bake weeks ago because I wasn't certain what I'd do with it. Tomato Pie with Parmesan and Basil. I'll be honest with you, I almost skipped this one entirely because I despise tomatoes in all their forms. I won't eat them. What am I going to do with a tomato pie?? What even is a tomato pie?? Turns out it's thick slices of tomato surrounded by a savory cheesy custard. I'm told it was actually pretty good! But I'll never know! At the very least this was certainly a new experience in baking something I otherwise never would have touched, which in the end is why I challenged myself to this at all! #baking #homemade #homebaking #bakeoftheweek https://www.instagram.com/p/CiX_hW9O1oBBoZncqNOweWlLONgcG2_kh3l_vY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking for an easy, addicting, AMAZING bake? These S'more Granola Bars are incredible and came together so easily! By far the hardest part of baking these was waiting for them to fully cool before slicing so the chocolate layer in the middle wouldn't make a mess! They're great at room temperature but even better warmed up so you can fully enjoy the gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate! These did not last long at our house! Another great recipe from @kingarthurbaking !! #baking #bakeoftheweek #homemade #homebaking #smoregranolabars https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTfLQvul3ncokCPcmB1SpL9rtjrVI4hN4TNEE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The next bake was meant to be a Grilled Pizza, but we don't own a grill! So we cheated a bit and baked it in our Ooni pizza oven! But the pizza crust was easy, fast, and soooo good! I usually use my sourdough discard for pizza dough but this was much faster and just as delicious so I'm sure this recipe will become a staple at our house! #bakeoftheweek #baking #homebaking #ooni #kingarthurbaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CiONDQArtwGgm5P57_wmpIEomWRq495_ZLOjtU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❤️Happy Tails, Joy!!❤️ Joy found her forever home this past weekend at the Mega Adoption Event! Sweet Joy will have a young and playful kitty friend at home, and her new parents were super sweet and understanding about her shy nature and need for a slow introduction! I am so so excited for my lovely girl - I knew how nervous she was going to be at this event and I am so beyond thrilled that her new family saw through her nervousness to the sweet funny kitten she really is! We love you Joy and wish you the very best forever!! 💖 #adopted #foreverhomefound #fromstraytospoiled #fromfostertoforever #happytails #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #savethemall #houstonmegaadoption #bfashouston #bestfriendsanimalsociety #sparkofjoy😻 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiN7C7OpCIO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My copy of the new Frozen 2 book “Anna, Elsa, and the Enchanting Holiday,” just arrived! It was a quick read and a cute little story featuring gorgeous papercraft artwork by Nathanna Erica. I like the callback to the yule bell from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure :) Since the book takes place in the forest, I was lowkey hoping the Northuldra would make a cameo, but alas it was consistent with every other post-F2 storybook/comic so far and they’re not even mentioned…oh well (I’ll just assume they’re away during this time, as mentioned in Polar Nights, lol). Lots of pretty Frohana imagery to make up for it though!
I decided not to make HD scans since the binding would make it difficult and potentially damaging to the book. Plus, most of the illustrations span across two pages, which wouldn’t fit in my scanner anyway. So I did my best to make decent photos with my phone camera instead. I also didn’t want to share every page of the book as I want to encourage purchasing an official copy (available via Amazon here).
Enjoy!

I am so so close to catching up to the current Bake of the Week, and I won't stop until I'm there! Yesterday I made this gorgeous Ginger Streusel Peach Pie! The peaches are surrounded by a lovely vanilla custard, and topped off with a delightful ginger strusel! I cannot recommend this enough - it is just sooo good! This pie is definitely a make again! #baking #homebaking #homemade #gingerstrueselpeachpie https://www.instagram.com/p/CiJD1dNrtggLto8hxbr_Mcmw369SIXcZvAT2vc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A couple weeks ago we were invited to a get together with friends, so I decided to make this awesome Chocolate Zucchini Cake to share! Unfortunately, these two photos are the only ones I took - one right before it was cut into showing that delicious chocolate icing, and one right before baking, where you can see the bits of zucchini in the batter! This cake may have changed my stance on veggies in desserts - the cake itself was rich and chocolatey, and the zucchini made it incredibly moist and delicious without adding any flavor - it was a huge hit! Problem is, I didn't actually get a piece myself, I just had a bite! 😭 Oh well, I guess I'll have to make it again! #baking #homebaking #homemade #chocolatezucchinicake #kingarthurbaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CiGOD7NOz1R5C4slDmRGI4cT6GUAH7HGkFHODg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
