The Skinny

Welcome to ‘My Baking Heart’. I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m Jessica… also known as ‘Hornedfroggy’ around these parts. I’m a thirty-something alumna of Texas Christian University & Sigma Kappa and at times, I like to think of myself as a Southern Belle. I have a major love for baking and cooking, photography, shopping, TCU football (I bleed a mean purple), 50s advertising, collecting antiques and (since I’m newly engaged) wedding planning.

Occasionally, I’ll blog about a product I come across that I think my readers will love. If you’re interested in having me review your company’s product on MBH, then send a quick e-mail to jessica (at) mybakingheart (dot) com and we’ll chat! I love mail, so even if you have a question about a recipe or just want to say howdy, use the e-mail address above!

Good Morning

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am “very” new at this whole blogging thing, and despite that fact, I was also one of the winners of the Sucre give away contest sponsored by BlakeMakes. So, I decided to stop by, visit your blog and wish you continued success. Hopefully someday my blog will approach the level of professionalism exhibited here. AND…..yes I need to get a camera……and FAST!

Sincerely,

Mark

Oh my gosh! We seem to have a lot in common. I love Longaberger baskets, too. And I was born on July 14, Bastille Day, so I’ve always had a thing for the Eiffel Tower, also. And I was browsing your recipes (think I might try your guacamole) and saw that your friends who own the B&B live in Rogersville, MO. I’m from Branson, about 45 miles South of there and my husband and I love B&Bs. I’ll have to check them out and see if they have a website. If we decide to go there, I’ll be sure to tell them that we found them through you!

Love your blog! How did you get to the point of advertisers and free products? Also, how long before you really started seeing your blog take off. It’s absolutely beautiful!

Another TCU food blogger – yippee.. I found you thru Whitney in Chicago. I’m going to write to the Magazine and see if they’d do a feature on us. Would you be interested in participating?? I was class of ’84 so legal drinking age older but share the same passion for cooking. It runs deep.

Love the wasted cookie recipe. That will be my next cookie baking time. The last I made were from Just A Pinch for a cream cheese/cake mix cookie. Soft cookies. Can make lots of good variations. Thanks
