It’s not so much that blogging is dead but that other avenues are much more accessible. Maybe it’s the fact that our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter; we only have time to catch up on someone’s life if it’s via a casual scroll or swipe. Long captions? Forget it. I need a pun […]
I grew up eating my mom’s granola. Nothing compares–it’s been my favorite for decades. However, I tried a co-workers granola and when she told me it was paleo, I couldn’t believe it. It was crunchy, nutty, coconut-y–pure deliciousness. How could there not be grains in it? Well, I immediately googled and decided to make my […]
My obsession for all things frozen and sweet has gotten out of control. When I was a kid, I used to eat as much ice cream as I could get (and it was the one sweet that was usually in the house, probably because my mom loves it, too); in the past eight months of […]
All I wanted on Sunday afternoon was a berry muffin. Given my past general indifference towards pastries, it’s safe to say that this is Eric’s child (who otherwise known to others as a sweets monger).

It may be cliche, but once fall rolls around, I’m all about the apples. Apple pie? Sign me up. Apple crumble? Feed me. Applesauce? Mmm, just like my mom used to make (heated up!). At brunch this week, I ate the most delicious apple cake at Lula Cafe. It wasn’t enough to satisfy my taste […]
It doesn’t happen often, but when I get a sweets craving, it needs to be satisfied it immediately. On yesterday’s cold, dreary Sunday, the need for sugar hit me and only peanut butter rice krispie treats would do–with chocolate on top (just like my mom used to make for my classroom birthday treat). These sugar […]
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I’m not a baker. Although I think these cookies are delicious, I generally look at baking them as a tedious task. Eric has been living at the office lately and I wanted to lift his spirits a bit; nothing makes him happier than these salted chocolate […]
Homemade granola was a household staple growing up. Although I begged and pleaded for the packaged granola at the grocery store (you know the kind with huge, nutty, chunky clusters…mmm), my mom wouldn’t budge because she made herself at home and unlike the store-bought version, it wasn’t full of additives . As I got older, […]
