The Butterfly (now 12) has two passions at the moment: baking and learning to code. She’s learning to code so she can create her own epic Minecraft mod. And the baking? Well, she’s been inspired by You-Tube celebrity Rosanna Pancino. She begged me to get her best-selling book The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook: Sweet Treats for the Geek in All of Us, so she could try out the recipes.
Her first project? Code cookies. She made them last week, in a mere 4 hours, and brought them to her computer science class to share with her cookie and code loving friends.

Next we’re going to attempt my favorite recipe in the book. Books!
I don’t have words to explain how much I love this idea.
Pancino’s book is packed with great ideas and clear instructions. I do recommend gathering your patience along with the ingredients, because the recipes are not as quick and easy as they look. Still, they are worth the effort.
