Once upon a time, there were two mommies who had a passion for cooking and a flare for baking, but had busy schedules. After sharing their passion with friends and family, they decided to venture out in to the world and spread their ideas on easy {yet delicious} meals and tips on how to save time in the kitchen. And they baked happily ever after.
