Weeknight Baking with Michelle Lopez

It’s a celebration of all things weeknight baking! We have a chat with Michelle Lopez, author of the new cookbook Weeknight Baking and the blogger behind Hummingbird High. We get her best tips on time management, prepping, and sweet hacks to expediate the baking process. Plus, Brian spills on his new favorite stir-together cake recipe, Carrot Cake Loaf, and Kyle Grace gives one of the recipes from Michelle’s new cookbook a go. Spoiler alert: whether you’re single or not, you need to be baking Michelle’s Single Lady Chocolate Chip Cookies. Quote: “I’ve always been a stress baker. Even in college, it was my favorite way to procrastinate. I’d come home from my intense job and want to bake something to eat right then and there. Because I’m also a stress eater.”   A special thank-you to our sponsor, Red Star, our official test kitchen partner and trusted source for all things yeast.
