I’m a 27 year old nanny and I’m a full-time college student. My real name is not Nutmeg nor is it Nanny. It is Brandy.

I love to cook and bake and I would love to have my own bakery but I would hate getting up early in the morning. I grew up in Ohio but moved to New York when I was nineteen years old. Since then I have moved back and forth from NY to NJ but found living in NY was more my flavor. Currently I’m in upstate NY with my wonderful boyfriend.

We have two fantastic cats, Jolie and Nermal. They behave most of the time but usually do something at least once a day that ends in me shaking my head and saying “guys can’t you just get along!”


I love going to live sporting events (hockey is the best!), theatre and concerts of any kind.

I’m using this blog to show people all the recipes I make and hopefully get people in the kitchen!
If you would like to contact me please feel free to email me at: Nutmegnanny (at) hotmail (dot) com

I am a friend of Rochelle’s and she told me about your website. Your pie and cookies look very good..I can almost taste them. Like you I really shouldn’t eat anymore sweets but gotta try that pie and hope it turns out as well as yours. Keep up the good work, girl!!

Brandy … I have a gift for you … your choice … I just purchased a box of cookbooks from an auction … before I put them up for sale I want you to pick one of the following (all are big, thick, beautiful new cookbooks with a dust jacket):
(1) The Woman’s Day Cook … Great Recipes, Bright Ideas and Healthy Choices for Today’s Cook
(2) Sheila Lukins All Around the World Cookbook
(3) Gregg R. Gillespie … 1001 Muffins, Biscuits, Doughnuts, Pancakes, Waffles, Popovers, Fritters, Scones and Other Quick Breads
(4) Martha Stewart’s Healthy Quick Cook … Four Seasons of Great Menus to Make Every Day
I am keeping the “Baking With Julia” cookbook … I will share the recipes but not the book … ha, stingy, aren’t I?
Let me know asap … the rest are going on eBay … Marilyn (cookbooks on eBay)

Brandy,
I just noticed that you’re from Ohio, me too! Whereabouts are you from? I grew up in Amherst but went to school in Athens (Ohio U.). We’re both Ohioans living in the big city! (I’m in Chicago now)…
Best,
Yvonne

Brandy,
I miss you. When I cannot see you in class I come to your nutmeg nanny to get my fix. What am I to do when class ends
Happy Birthday to Artie! I hope you got to do something fun together or at least made him one of your delicious meals.
Hope all is well with you and class sucks without ya! Two more to go…
Love,
Carey

Nutmeg is the most wonderful spice. It should be used in more recipes. Thanks for creating such a wonderful blog!
