This month was a whirlwind of saying goodbye to one of my best friends, enjoying funemployment and starting a brand new job. Here’s what was happening on the foodie front: My friend Jen moved to Switzerland! I’m so excited and happy for her, but I was very sad to say goodbye. For her epic farewell......
I really haven’t been able to keep up with the Baked Sunday Mornings crew this year, which makes me quite sad. Now that things have settled down with my work life, hopefully I can get back on track. Plus I have a whole new group of recipe tasters/testers to impress! And here we have the......
With both peach season and my funemployment coming to an end, I decided to go out with a bang and make Joy the Baker’s Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls. This was a perfect baking project for the day before I started my new job. Lots of steps that can be worked on little by little throughout......
I enjoyed my Pink Lemonade Popsicles so much earlier this summer that I decided to try another ice pop recipe, and a boozy one at that. This popsicle is another simple mixture of just a handful of ingredients: fresh peaches, a bit of sugar and lemon juice and a cup of rosé. My only note is......
Does everyone out there know about FUNEMPLOYMENT? I’m sure there are a few definitions, but for my purposes, funemployment is the space of time between finishing at one job and starting at a new one, when you have no responsibilities and can totally luxuriate in your jobless state, but with the safety net of knowing that......
I wrote the other day about how much I loved the Netflix movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and this summer I also read the book, plus it’s two sequels. You don’t really see it too much in the movie, but in the books, a huge part of Lara Jean’s life is that......
As I alluded to in an earlier post, this was the craziest month I’ve had in a long time on a personal level. I quit my job at the company I’ve worked at for the past 15 years! I still can’t even believe I did it! In September I’ll be starting my new job at......
I finally had a minute to get back into Baked Sunday Mornings this weekend, and what a perfect recipe to find on the schedule! I’ve made these Brewer’s Blondies before, and they are the epitome of Blondie perfection to me. They’re chewy, buttery and rich with perfect edges. The “Brewer’s” component comes into play because......
I had so many fun summer cocktails saved to try this summer, and I just never seemed to get it together to make them*. Now that I’m thinking about it, each of them had a lot of different components, and they all violated my friend Weedy’s rules for a Signature Summer Cocktail: it must be easy......
It’s been a minute since I’ve made anything with cherries – fresh cherries that is, not that faux cherry chip goodness. I normally just like to eat baskets of them during the short stone fruit season, but Tracy Shutterbean posted these Cherry Pie Crumble Bars on her Instagram and I though I’d given them a try.......
