About Us

Welcome to Dough and Diary 🍴✨

I’m Carolyn E. Fleener, the cook, baker, and storyteller behind this space. Dough and Diary was born from my love of fresh ingredients, simple techniques, and the belief that every meal has a story worth sharing.

Here, you’ll find:

  • 🥖 Homemade breads and baked goods that bring comfort to the table
  • 🥗 Everyday recipes that are simple, nourishing, and full of flavor
  • 🍰 Sweet treats and desserts that make life a little brighter
  • đź“– Personal stories woven into recipes—because food is more than just fuel, it’s memory, tradition, and connection

My goal is to make cooking approachable and joyful. Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or just starting your kitchen journey, I want this blog to feel like a cozy place where you can discover new recipes and make them your own.

Thank you for being here—I can’t wait to share my kitchen adventures with you!

With love and a full plate,
Carolyn E. Fleener
