Howdy, my name is mandy.
I’ve been running this blog on and off for about a decade now. It began as a place to share coffee and brunch recipes, and along the way, I started sharing fancy yet approachable dishes.
As life’s gone on, I’ve realized I really enjoy sharing my kitchen with others, but as life changes, I've decided I want a little nostalgia without succumbing to the production of a recipe blog, so we're going back to our roots.
I started sip. savor. stirred. as a place to collect seasonal recipes, drinks I wanted to make at home, homemade syrups, baking projects, and things I’ve been thinking about lately. Usually, it starts with what's in season, or what's piling up in my recipe journal. Most days that means iced coffee.
Sometimes, it’s the tomatoes that only taste good for a few weeks each year. The way vanilla instantly improves almost everything. Your favorite mug, a good cookbook, or the pastry you reluctantly shared with a friend.
Stirred (adj.): emotionally affected by coffee and pastries.
This space was created for people who love good coffee and buttery pastries. Somewhere between a recipe blog and a café menu, you'll find two kinds of stories here:
Sip
Coffee drinks, homemade syrups, sodas, lemonades, and seasonal beverages.
Savor
Recipes, baking projects, and seasonal cooking inspired by what's fresh and worth making right now.
So, pull up a chair. The coffee is fresh.
