Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 151
With many of you cooped up indoors due to the winter storms, it’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in some baking time and enjoy delicious treats. Baking is not just a hobby for me; it’s a form of stress relief and a way to express my creativity.
As someone once said,
“Baking is love made visible.”
Have a wonderful Saturday!
A Personal Note from Janine
Let’s get excited for a fun Valentine’s Day celebration!
I’m sure many of you are sticking to New Year’s resolution diets, but I’m all set to take a little break for Valentine’s.
I’ve been a big fan of sweets since I was a kid, and now baking is my go-to for some relaxation. It’s like my creative outlet.
In my downtime, I’m all about ‘The Great British Baking Show.’ Oh, and I’ve recently started enjoying ‘Junior Bake Off’ too – it’s really fun with some cool baking projects. I’m planning to whip up a special cookie next week, so keep an eye out for that.
Meanwhile, join me and get comfortable and grab your coffee or tea and let’s just hang out.
Happy Saturday!

This Week’s Tip – Melting Chocolate
Melting Chocolate
The other day, I had a bit of a mishap while trying to melt chocolate on the stove using a double boiler. Perhaps the temperature was too high, because the chocolate melted quickly and then, unfortunately, burned.
I switched tactics and used my microwave, melting the chocolate in a Pyrex measuring cup, and it worked out perfectly. So, the microwave can be an excellent option for anyone who finds melting chocolate a bit tricky. Here are some tips to help ensure your chocolate melting is successful.
- Advantage: It’s quick and convenient.
- Prep Chocolate: Chop the chocolate into even, small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Cook and Check: Heat it in short bursts (about 15-20 seconds), stirring between each burst to ensure even melting. Once it is mostly melted, remove and stir the chocolate. It will melt those last few bits just from the residual heat.
- It Can Burn: Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can still burn in a microwave.
Latest Obsession – Pastry Class (Macarons)
I just attended a live Zoom class taught by Molly, where she showed us how to make her delicious macarons. I was full of questions and learned so much! This experience inspired me to update my recipe soon – I’m obsessed and can’t wait to try making these little gems myself.
The class link I’m sharing here isn’t for the live version, but for a recorded one. The great thing about it is that it’s half the price of the live class, offering the same valuable insights at a more affordable cost.
