    About Me

    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.

    Lainey holding Seventeen magazine pointing at her cookies
    My cookie recipe was featured in Seventeen Magazine!

    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!

      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!

      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’m looking for a dessert recipe and videos when I bumped into your Mint thin video. It looks good and I would like to try it one of these days…You do it so well that I became so curious to look for your website…and you have a lot to offer (though I can find the recipe for mint thin). ^_^ I love your site..its pretty and really define your name…simple. Thanks for sharing your recipes and your talent. Love to try some of your recipes as well. More recipes to come 😉 Godbless

      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.

      Tried your coffee cake recipe. You indicated to use a “cake pan.” So I used a round “cake pan.” I ended up with a mess on the bottom of my oven and a coffee cake that was raw in the middle. Sweetie, you need to indicate the size of the pan. Next time I will use 2 round cake pans. (Very disappointed.)
