We all know that I’m super picky when it comes to food, but did you know there’s one particular thing that I LOVE, but that I refuse to eat in public? That’s Corn-on-the-Cob, my friends. I just can’t deal. The only place I’ll eat it is at my parents’ house, because I know I can......

My biggest frustration when it comes to baking is wasting time and money on a recipe that doesn’t work out. It doesn’t happen too often anymore, so when it does, I get super annoyed. That’s what happened with this Strawberry Tres Leches Cake. I was so excited to make it and bring it to Jenny’s......

Alright, I had one new strawberry/rhubarb recipe that I wanted to make this year, and it’s this sangria. Was I mostly motivated by these super cute cups I bought at Lionheart Prints in New Orleans? Yes indeed! My old boss was having a bunch of people over to his new condo for drinks last week, and......

Since my overall rhubarb inspiration was lacking this year, I decided to re-visit another stunner from the archives with this Strawberry Rhubarb Tart with Brown Butter Crumble. Back in 2011, I made this for Father’s Day, and my parents said it was the best thing I had ever made. I made it again for Father’s Day......

Last Summer, I was obsessed with Frosé, and documented my trials extensively here. By the time I figured out the best way to make it, Summer was over and I had no use for my new skills. Well, Summer’s back in full effect and I only have one goal*: TURN EVERY COCKTAIL INTO A SLUSHIE.......

Without a doubt, this is my Summer Seventeen obsession right here. While it doesn’t exactly meet the criteria of a Signature Summer Cocktail (it’s a little too high maintenance for that), I couldn’t stop making it over the past few months. I first came across the idea of frozen rosé (also known as frosé or......

I first made this pie way, way back in my pre-blog baking days. It was probably around 2004 or 2005, and while I don’t remember if I made my own pastry or not, I definitely know that I made it with canned peaches. After making Rhubarb Custard Pie in 2014 and Blueberry Custard Pie in 2015, I knew......

When I sat down to write this post about my friend Francis’ 1st birthday party, I realized I’ve documented all the major events leading up to this milestone: his parents’ engagement party, his mom’s wedding shower, and of course his baby shower! The theme for Francis’ party was Under the Sea, based on his love......

This is the only recipe that was on my strawberry agenda for this Summer. I’ve flipped past it in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook so many times, but it wasn’t until Danielle made them a couple months ago and sent me a picture that I became obsessed. She made them in little mason jars, and I......

One of my favourite things to do with my co-workers is go to Lone Star for Fajita Fridays. It doesn’t necessarily take place on Fridays, and we don’t always eat fajitas, but there is one constant: CHEAP MARGARITAS. It’s truly the best. My friend Shane had all of us over to the patio in his......
