Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 160
I’m excited to get your creativity flowing this weekend! How about we have some fun in the kitchen? Here’s a fun quote to inspire our baking shenanigans!
“Baking is my canvas; the kitchen, my studio.”
A Personal Note from Janine
The other day, I realized that my approach to baking tends to lean towards the creative side.
Instead of sticking to the traditional sugar cookie, I transform it into a cute daisy tart! I suppose you could say I enjoy coloring outside the lines when creating.
But hey, it’s not just about making stuff for me; I also love adding fun to things. So, you’ll probably notice that many of my projects lean towards the adorable.
I can’t help myself; hopefully, you like that about me!
Today, I’m all about sharing some fun baking recipes. And yeah, I know my jello isn’t exactly a baking project, but it’s definitely in the same spirit of fun treats.
So, let’s get creative and get busy baking.
Hey there! I hope you have a fantastic weekend! I just wanted to express a huge thank you for being a part of this adventure with me!
Cheers,
This Week’s Inspiration – Fun Baking Recipes
You’ve probably seen these Mini Lemon Flower Tarts all over social media. I jazz them up by adding colorful twists to my homemade cookie dough. Those springtime colors give these treats an extra pop! They’re not just adorable—they’re delicious, all thanks to that sweet, tangy lemon curd filling paired with the sugar cookie. Plus, they’re super easy to make!
Recently, a lot of advice has been urging us to steer clear of highly processed foods, prompting me to cut down on our processed snack intake gradually. In addition to trimming our snack choices, I baked some Homemade Goldfish Crackers. Not only did this decision help curb our snack consumption, but the outcome was also quite surprising. These crackers have a deliciously cheesy and wholesome flavor. My husband claims our homemade healthy goldfish crackers outshine Pepperidge Farm’s.
FLUFFY JAPANESE PANCAKES
Have you had Fluffy Japanese Pancakes? Whoa, it is so delicious, and the maple syrup makes it even more delicious, and we are obsessed. I don’t want to over-sell it, but that is a difficult task since it is one of my favorite desserts. This recipe uses egg yolks and whipped egg whites that you’ll beat to stiff peaks. This version is not made in a low heat skillet but in an oven. The critical thing you’ll need is a ring mold to create these fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes. This fun recipe is a unique take on regular pancakes and is perfect for special occasions.
Make this adorable Easter Bunny Cake this spring! This post shows step-by-step directions on cutting and assembling this sweet rabbit cake. The base cake is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and topped with a finely cut colored coconut. Don’t worry about having to draw this bunny since I share the bunny pattern with you.
Have you come across the trending Flower Pretzels Recipe on Instagram and TikTok? I couldn’t resist giving these delightful flower pretzel bites a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they were to make and how delicious they turned out. All you require are a handful of basic ingredients: M&Ms, square pretzels, and pink chocolate meltaways.

Here’s my quick and easy Strawberry Mochi Recipe that uses sweet rice flour and fresh strawberries. Pop the mochiko batter in the microwave to make the perfect mochi, and wrap the layer around a strawberry. Yes, it’s that easy to make. There is no bean mixture or ice cream, making it a simpler recipe.
A sugar cookie in a mug is a perfect single-serving dessert of a sugar cookie made in a cup and cooked in the microwave. It’s a soft sugar cookie recipe that is light, fluffy and doesn’t contain egg yolk or brown sugar. It’s a quick and easy way to make a sweet treat for one person.
These mug sugar cookies are a blank canvas in which you can customize your cookies to your taste. Add delicious candies, chocolate, nuts, and more to your cookie. I promise this is an easy recipe to make.
This fun Broken Glass Jello Recipe is a culinary masterpiece that combines flavors, colors, and textures to create a whimsical and charming treat. The condensed milk concoction intertwines with the jello fragments, forming a mesmerizing stained-glass mosaic.

This Week’s Tip – Lemon Curd TIP
I’ve always faced challenges cooking the eggs in my lemon curd recipe.
For those unfamiliar with homemade lemon curd, my recipe includes eggs. The process involves slowly cooking the eggs on the stove with room temperature butter, sugar, and egg until they form a wonderful, opaque, creamy sauce. However, more often than not, the mixture heats up too quickly, resulting in scrambled eggs.
The other day, feeling lazy, I skipped bringing the butter to room temperature and used cold butter straight from the fridge. Surprisingly, my laziness led to excellent results. The cold butter slowed the egg cooking process, preventing unwanted scrambling. It turned out to be a happy accident in the kitchen!
I promptly adjusted my recipe accordingly, so now you won’t have to worry about encountering the same struggles with making lemon curd that I have experienced over the years!
