About Me

Hello, and welcome to Easy Breezy Baking! I am a self-taught baker who loves creating and perfecting recipes. I especially enjoy creating unique recipes that not everyone has seen, such as mini chocolate bundt cakes and brownie trifle (coming soon to this blog). However, you will also find my favorite everyday recipes that I have worked tirelessly on and made multiple times over to make sure I am presenting you with the best treats possible! 

I have started this blog because I enjoy baking in my free time and have had multiple friends and family encourage me to put my recipes and tips online! I haven't really had the courage to put myself out there, but thanks to my husband's sweet encouragement, I have finally decided to take the plunge! Bless you for coming along for the ride. 

Easy Breezy Baking

Why the name Easy Breezy? Because of my curious, made up, confusing name, I have answered to anything and been given countless nicknames throughout my life, some more creative than others. I have answered to Bridget, Breje-je, Buzzay, Breeze, Brej, Brejee, and possibly the most imaginative, B. However, from the moment I was born, my entire family branded me as Breezy. I still am not completely sure how I received this nickname, though I have heard legends of my Grandpa Kim (who loves giving nicknames to virtually everyone he can) beginning this new title accidentally somehow. No matter how I came by it, I have answered to Breezy my entire life, so I figured, what better way to begin my baking blogger adventure than by using my family nickname, as it was my family who taught me to love food, and baking by extent!

How Did I Start Baking?

I have no memories of my first baking experiences, but most, if not all of my favorite childhood memories stem from food in some way. I remember being four years old in my Grandma Kay's kitchen, surrounded by all my aunts who were excitedly and patiently teaching me how to make an easy family favorite: No-Bake Cookies, or more affectionately known in that house as Dog Turds. I recall being in my Grandma Linda's kitchen and shaping colored sugar cookie dough into fun shapes and pictures, or watching her expertly decorate a cake or a gingerbread house. I go back to coming into that house and immediately being pelted with the wonderful scent of almond extract, and delightedly realizing that my Grandpa Mike was making his famous homemade Candy Cane Cookies. I recall many a boring Sunday evening when my mom and I would make my favorite Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies. Without realizing it, my entire life was shaped while I was learning to pound bread dough, add slightly too many chocolate chips (is there really such a thing??), and form a beautiful pie crust. I carried my family's love of food with me to college, and now to newlywed life, and I'm learning to experiment, enjoy, and hopefully to some extent, perfect my favorite recipes.

About Me

Now that we've covered how I got here... Who am I?? My name is Breje Gibbons, though as I discussed previously, I will answer to basically anything. I am currently doing online college getting ready to receive my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Development and living in Provo while my husband attends Brigham Young University. We have been married for barely a year and we are loving married life. I also work part time as a nanny for three children who I absolutely adore. When I'm not baking or nannying, I enjoy reading, running, playing piano and ukulele, slowly learning the guitar, and listening to podcasts or Harry Potter on audiobook with my husband. We also love shows like The Office, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn 99, Gilmore Girls, and many others. I am nervously excited to begin posting recipes and ready for you all to tell me what you want me to make next!
