I’ve been a fan of the Great British Bake Off for a while now. It’s just one of those shows that always puts me in a good mood and makes me thankful for the simple every day pleasures. The contestants are all incredibly humble and supportive, constantly lifting up their competitors while trying to keep their cool and deliver fabulous bakes week after week. When we went into quarantine mode a month ago it was the first thing I started streaming again. But something changed this time…I wanted to bake too! The idea of not being able to leave your house for weeks on end certainly opens new doors for creativity 🙂 One problem…I’ve only baked a handful of times and they’ve usually involved a box mix of some kind. I knew I needed to start simple so I went hunting for recipes that seemed easy in both ingredients (we’re in a pandemic) and steps. This ricotta bar gem was one of the first things I pinned and it did not disappoint!
