Ask a Question

Your dough didn’t rise? Your cookies spread in the oven? Out of bread flour? What the heck is cake flour? How to make scrambled eggs?

What did I have last night for dinner? (ok, maybe not this one)

Do you have a question you’d like me to answer it?  I would love to help you!

Please leave your question in the comments below and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. Keep in mind I’m completely self-taught. I do not claim to be an expert in anything (maybe eating cheesecake).

You’ll receive an email with my reply. Please be extra careful typing in your email address in the required field! If you don’t type it in correctly, you won’t receive my email!

On the other hand, if you see a question you have a tip for, please feel free to answer it. Would love to hear your tips and tricks.

Thanks!

Roxana

      Hello Ms G Converting to grams is something I plan on doing over the next couple of months. If there's a recipe you really need right now, I will make time to convert the ingredients to grams Roxana

    Hi Roxanna, I love most of your recipes but I'm in Scotland and some of the Pillsbury canned things you can't get here, what would you suggest in place of Pillsbury™ refrigerated original breadsticks for the chocolate french toast sticks?

    Hi Roxana, I have a question but is not related to any recipes. Are you a professional photographer or a self taught one. Your pictures are amazing and I would love to take better pictures. Do you use a tripod?

      Hi Silvia, Thanks so much! You're so sweet! I'm completely self-taught. I started with a point and shoot camera. My second camera was a Canon Rebel ti1 and currently shooting with a Canon 6D. I use a tripod for almost all of my photos. My advice for better photos, shoot often. Every day. It will get better. Roxana

    Hi Roxana, I love your site, just found it yesterday. Awesome great job. I see that their is a save button on your recipes. But when I click it...it goes into a lot of sign up stuff.... I was thinking it was to save and fix like a recipe box on your site just to keep your recipes so I wouldn't have to try and find the ones I really like again. I was hoping I could just pull up like, "My Favorite Recipes" like a file of the ones a like...is that where I do that or not...was hoping I didn't have to go through a lot to do it...just don't know where to go....a lot of sites have a recipe box for you to save their recipes within their site...please help...

      Hi Sherrie, Once you create an account with mealplanner you can save recipe from blogs that use their recipe card, not just from mine. Could you please let me know what's your favorite website that lets you save their recipe on the website? Thanks, Roxana

      Hi Ana, I do not have a recipe that uses just chickpea flour. I have made several attempts to make one but all were unsuccessful. Sorry.

      Hi AnnieVee, If you're using a glass pan, lower the oven temperature by 25F if possible, if not, check the cake 5-7 minutes earlier. Roxana

      Hi Hildegard, 1 envelope (7 grams) of active dry yeast is just the right amount for 4 cups of flour. Roxana
