Yorktown baker focuses on allergen-friendly recipes

Found on Facebook as Sweet Confections, Theresa O’Brian runs a small business baking cookies and cupcakes out of her Yorktown-based home. For the last three years, parents of Cardinals have been able to place orders for their students that O’Brian then hand delivers to dorms and off-campus residences. O’Brian started baking years ago as a hobby, following the footsteps of her mother who would bake while O’Brian was growing up. Their family made everything homemade out of necessity, so they knew what was going into their food. 



OPINION

Meal Prep is a Game Changer

I don’t want to be stressing out about when I can fit cooking into my already hectic schedule. I recognize food is a necessity, so I must consume at least something, but I don’t want to be constantly thinking about it. Meal prepping has been a lifesaver in that regard.
