Simple Pumpkin Toffee Bread
I walked into Trader Joe's yesterday and was immediately hit by a wave of orange. Pumpkin to be specific. Pumpkin waffles, pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin body butter...the list goes on. I'm not the world's biggest fan of pumpkin flavored things. Don't get me wrong, I love pumpkin pie. But Pumpkin Spiced Lattes end up tasting...well, … Continue reading Simple Pumpkin Toffee Bread

Some days you just want a dessert you can make in under 4 minutes. Where you don't have to turn on the oven, don't have to worry about anything other than a can opener, scooping, stirring, and tasting. That's what this Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is about.

Orange Blossom and Nutmeg Love Cake
I'm a lazy baker sometimes. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to bust out the stand mixer, pull out a bunch of different ingredients, and make deliciousness happen. I just want deliciousness to...happen. Those days I go to Sofra bakery and chow down on some desserts. But on the days I don't mind putting in … Continue reading Orange Blossom and Nutmeg Love Cake
Spinach and Edamame Patties in under 45 minutes
I was sitting at home the other day and feeling particularly lazy about dinner. Not to mention I didn't have any fresh vegetables in the fridge that I could make a meal with. So, I turned towards my freezer. I had spinach and edamame. So I pulled them out and made these patties with spinach, edamame, … Continue reading Spinach and Edamame Patties in under 45 minutes
Vanilla Bean Shortbread
A little while ago I was searching for the perfect meringue recipe and I stumbled on Cupcake Jemma's youtube channel, and after a few videos was hooked. Her videos are pretty short, and show you how to do some pretty cool things, like make a polka-dotted swiss roll. Pretty shnazzy. Anyways, I was looking for … Continue reading Vanilla Bean Shortbread
DIY Magnetic Spice Jars
I recently went over to my friend Mary's house and saw her lovely magnetic spice jar collection, and I thought -- wow, I should do something like that. I recently read the Marie Kondo book about how to keep your house clean, and while I don't do everything she suggests, one thing really stuck with … Continue reading DIY Magnetic Spice Jars
Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch
Brunch is fun...it's even funner if you can make it under 45 minutes. Seriously -- when you have people over, it's key to make sure you're not in the kitchen the whole time.

Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad
Spring is upon us! Finally -- colorful foods, sunshine, jogging outside, not wearing seven layers indoor and pounding tea like it's your job! Spring. It's a happy time. Especially for food.

Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta
Date nights are important. I talk to Tyler regularly, but it's not the same as sitting down on a designated day, with some food that's a little different than usual, maybe drinks that are a little different, maybe music that's a little different, and letting conversation wander. Nine years in, and I cannot express the value … Continue reading Sun-dried tomato and Basil Baked Ricotta
