The second stop on my little tour of the Pacific Northwest was, of course, Seattle. While I’ve always wanted to visit the PNW (numerous obsessions listed here), the catalyst for this trip was actually Alison Roman‘s Cookbook Tour for her new baking book, Sweet Enough. Tangent alert: after my friend Dafna got to not only......
I’ve been pretty obsessed with the Pacific Northwest my whole life, due to numerous pop culture influences while growing up in the ’90s (see: Twin Peaks, Nirvana, and the Sonics NBA Finals run in 1996, among others) and have always wanted to visit. I had some vacation days to use up at the end of......
Sometimes March can be such a struggle to get through, even with the promise of Spring so close by! Apparently I got through it by baking FOUR cakes, and planning a fun adventure you’ll hear more about soon: I kicked off the month by going to my friend Jen’s birthday party, which started at Famous......
I’ve been lusting after these cookies ever since Sally posted them last summer. I just needed a good excuse to make them, and that came in the form of my friend Jen’s birthday party this month. She loves chocolate and peanut butter so I knew they’d be perfect. I’ve tried a few recipes like this......
I really went all out with my Valentine’s baking this month (see here + here); it was so fun to be able to share treats again after two Valentine’s in lockdown! I also got invited to a Galentine’s Party! Here’s the scoop: I kicked off the month by going to Campechano with my Libra Gang......
The first time people see these cookies (me included), the first question is: how’d you get the heart in there? I’ve never clicked on anything so fast when Deb posted them last February, and slowly a light went on in my brain when I saw how the whole thing worked. I saved them for this......
I love baking for Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day, and since I didn’t really make any treats for Christmas, I was excited to spend some time in the kitchen, and had a super long list of things I wanted to bake. I also had two years worth of Val’s/Gal’s recipes stored up since we were in lockdown......
What a strange, yet thrilling concept to be able to leave the house in January! Seriously, after the past two Januarys in lockdown, I was so happy to be able to go into the office, have some visits with friends and go out for tasty dinners: Alexis and her kids came over for a swim......
I went on a bit of a baking bender this past weekend, making a bunch of things for my friend Weedy and their family. Since I didn’t really do much baking in December, I had such a fun time settling back into my kitchen, pulling out all my ingredients and mixing up a storm. I......
I spent a lot of this month minding my own business because I didn’t want to get sick before my Christmas trip (!), but I did do a couple of fun things before my self-imposed isolation: First though, I made a care package for a friend and pulled some deep cuts from the archives: Carrot......
