If I do say so myself, the addition of olive oil and a bit of sour cream to my spicy + cozy PUMPKIN BREAD makes it too good to only bake in the fall!

When I baked my first apple pie ever, I added an otherwise-humble classic crisp topping. It was magic — and such a hit I’ve never bothered to do one with a top crust. 🍎

This candy-bar-inspired brownie conjures both childhood memories of trick-or-treating and a longing for ocean breezes. Rich, fudgy and packed full of mix-ins, it's been a HUGE hit (even with self-proclaimed coconut haters). #cookieparty #bakingsky #recipes

When a dear friend (and regular beneficiary of your baking habit) gets a Celiac diagnosis, (crushing as it seems) you adapt. These rough-looking little gems are so decadent they don’t feel like a compromise in any way. #cookieparty

With summer fast approaching, tropical flavors seem appropriate (and in our home, chocolate is appropriate anytime). It’s hard to know which I like better, the coconut/macadamia crust or the rum & coconut-laced chocolate cream filling. Enjoy! 🥥 #bakingsky

Endorphins and serotonin and dopamine, oh my! If ever there was a time for chocolate, dear ones, ‘tis now. And my decadently fluffy, moist, oh-my-GOD cake (one bowl!) is a good place to start.

I LOVE pistachio — it's my default ice cream flavor choice, why I prefer Turkish baklava to Greek, why I believe chocolate chips on cannoli is just wrong, and why I think pistachio-crusted anything is brilliant. And why I can't stop eating these cookies! #cookieparty #bakingsky

To me, these taste like spring. Sweet and creamy white chocolate buttercream atop bright, tart and fluffy 🍋 cupcakes. Enjoy!

As the sun shines brightly in what has been another rain-drenched Portland week, I'm dreaming of strolling the Seaside boardwalk, picnics, and lounging poolside. One bite of this tart lemon and sharp-sweet strawberry and you will too. #cookieparty #bakingsky

Feeling a little nuts these days? Why not embrace it? IMHO, there's no better way to do that than these fudgy, peanut-packed brownies with a generous layer of peanut-butter-chocolate icing. And NO EGGS NEEDED! #brownies #bakingsky #vegan

Nothing says spring like bright citrus flavors, so I figured why reserve them for just the icing? These cutout cookies instantly became one of my all-time favorites. And the classic Peeps colors and little eyes make me smile every time. Happy Easter! #cookieparty

Hi there!

I’m Aaron (Grandpa in some circles), and I live with my husband Hugh (Grandfather) in Portland, Oregon.

I bake 👨🏼‍🍳, a lot...
to further endear myself to my grandchildren,
as a creative outlet,
to express my ❤️ language,
and because it is the best self-care I have found.
