About graciesbakes

I am a 30 something baker, dog owner, runner, partner, daughter, sister, friend. I live beside the sea - which makes me happy, with my partner & 2 lovely dogs, Charlie and Dave, who keep me on my toes with their constant need for runs and chats! I love to bake, noodle in the kitchen and in the past couple of years have become fascinated with baking with natural, raw and healthy ingredients. Black Bean Brownies anyone? Drop me a line at graciesbakes@gmail.com and let me know what you would like to see on my little corner of the blogosphere.
