Hi, nice to meet you!
I’m Lainey and I have a huge obsession with food! I love trying new food, but I especially love all things sweet!
My blog reflects all the things I crave: sometimes healthy, a lot of times not so healthy, but always delicious.
I started this blog in 2013 to augment my YouTube channel, where I shared step-by-step baking videos- and I loved it! I made new friends, met fans of Simply Bakings, and I got to do what I loved most- baking.
Fast forward to 2018, where I decided to focus on growing my blog and niched down to Vegan Vegetarian Filipino food.
Why?
I love Filipino food, I wanted to become a better cook, and I had been married for a couple of years and this is how I learned how to cook Filipino vegan vegetarian recipes. And now, I want to share it with you!
(I feel like I have to mention, that I still share baking recipes because I LOVE baking and my favorite vegan American recipes as well.)
So please let me know how the recipes went, by leaving a comment and telling me what worked for you!
Also, I know mishaps can happen like spending time and money on ingredients only to be disappointed it didn’t work out. So I do try my best to provide tips and be as detailed as I can on how to create the dish easily and successfully in your kitchen!
Thanks for stopping by and say hi in the comments!
Love the blog, Lainey! Welcome to the blogosphere–so glad that we met, I’m happy to call you a friend =)
Thanks Angie! I’m looking forward to blogging. 🙂
I really love your blog! I am a beginner at baking and I am trying to get new skills and recipes that I can do. I have some limitations though since I’m still a child and afraid of some things in the kitchen but I know I will get better!
Hi Orchid!
Thank you! 🙂 Just start of with the simple recipes like cake mix and pre made cookie batter! That’s how I started off! You can do it! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Lainey
Hi Tina. 🙂
Hey! I love baking but I really am terrible at it but your recipes are so great and I was wondering, could you make triple or double chocolate cookies? :3 love ya xoxo
Hi Carrae,
I was terrible at baking too, lol, but I kept on practicing! Keep trying! 😀 Also, I will put that on the list to try!
Hey Lainey!
I love all your videos, and I just want to thank you for getting my little brother into baking! He loves it now! Every time we go to the store, he says, “do t forget the all purpose flour!” We recently made peanut butter cookies which were totally scrumptious! Thank you soooo much! We appreciate you! 🙂
Sincerely;
Summer

Hi Lainey,
I’ve been a devoted subscriber to your YouTube channel for quite some time now. I love trying out all your awesome recipes. And I literally count down the days until the next Cookie Monday. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. As a fellow baker, I truly appreciate you.

Hi Lydia! I am so honored and touched by your sweet message! It’s really because of you guys that I love doing this! I enjoy baking as it is, but people like you Lydia who share the joy of baking is truly a friendship that can never end for me! Continue to bake and learn! Please share or tag me on FB when you do make anything! <3 <3 😉
I came here through your youtube channel which I am subscribed to so I can write down your recipes. I love how you make your videos, so clear and I can understand everything completely. More power to you! Fellow Filipina here 🙂
Hi Aaliyah! Thank you so much for always watching and supporting! I really love to hear when you guys make my recipes! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I am super glad that it’s easy for all of you to understand what I’m saying! To make baking simple, delicious and fun for you is a goal for me! 😉 <3 YAY to Filipina's! <3
You’re a Filipina!! That’s great… So am I! Love your cheesecake recipes. They’re simple yet
delicious. You’re an inspiration! 🙂
Hehehe, YES Hope I am Filipina! I love your name btw! You guys are inspiration for me! I hope you hare having an awesome day!
I am a 43 year old man and I recently have been preparing for economic collapse because our government is setting us up for failure. So I have been preparing with foods such as flour etc and I came across your baking videos and I must say, I love them and I am already using them for myself. Thank you, you are a very talented young woman.
The Lord Jesus Christ is coming very soon and it is not safe to be on the west coast for much longer, so please seek the Lord and repent. He will then direct you on what to do and protect you. Bless you and your wonderful creations.
You’re awesome
