As a new mom, I’m often told to “be kind to yourself.” And now that Owen is in the throes of a sleep regression while teething, I get it! Honestly, I’ve never had so much fun, while feeling so face-plantingly sleep deprived. Case in point: My living room is a hot mess and yesterday, I […]

Can somebody please, p l e a s e slow time down for me? I can’t believe how quickly the final few months of the year go by. Once Halloween strikes, it’s like time goes into warp speed and we zoom past Thanksgiving and my birthday (November 27th) and right into Christmas–and holiday parties, and […]
Before Brock and I got married in Alaska last year, my friends threw me a sweet Alaskan-themed send-off. The highlight of the menu was the baked Alaska we had for dessert. It was stunning and so very delicious. Moist cake, creamy ice cream AND toasty meringue all in one bite makes for an awesome dessert. […]

My parents owned a doughnut shop when my mom was carrying me, which could WELL explain my penchant for fried dough, especially a perfect raised doughnut or apple fritter. (Side note: my dad says apple […]
Oh hello, summertime. It’s getting hot and I need more ice cream. The perfect combo of strawberry and rhubarb to be exact. And while we’re at it, let’s make it vegan. We’ll use cashew cream in place of heavy cream though, so it’ll still be nice and creamy. You won’t miss a thing, I […]
Did I ever tell you guys that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday? It’s all about the food and the gratitude. All good things. I hope you had a wonderful, belly busting, delicious, and joyous Thanksgiving holiday. I ate a little–okay a lot–too much, so I know I did. I hosted a Thanksgiving dinner/potluck at the […]
I adore sweet and savory combinations. Here’s the proof. Miso powder sprinkled over coffee-caramel popcorn. I also crumbled some up over a banana split sundae. I think it would make an excellent topping for peanut butter frozen yogurt or black sesame ice cream too.
Apple & Adabba Date Crisp with Mascarpone/Coconut Cream From first taste, I knew that I would be replicating this White on Rice Couple recipe for heavenly mascarpone coconut cream. Light and fluffy, hinted with coconut and the perfect touch of sweetness. Wow I thought… "This would be good with anything…or really everything!". Todd and Diane […]
peaches When recipes of egg noodles leave me with a surplus of egg whites, I take it as the perfect opportunity to whip up a little dessert. Who needs another egg white omelette when you can have crisp pavlovas with soft, marshmallowy centers? Instead of whipped cream I topped these with a yogurt mixed with […]
