I have a bit of a ritual as of late on Sunday's. To me there seems to be nothing better than waking up late (okay, not too late. We are talking about 8:30 am here people) going into the kitchen, making myself a Nespresso latte and then grabbing a book... Continue reading

I understand that I truly don't have a major excuse except that life got in the way. As many of you have read throughout the past few years of me doing this blog, I have moved... ALOT. As expected, when I finally was able to stay in one place for... Continue reading

Is it just me? Or do you have to yell out, "YOLO!" everytime you hear Rolo too? As in, "ROLO... YOLO!" Okay, I guess it's only me. However, I'm willing to bet it isn't only me who loves Rolo's. There was a time where I felt that Rolo's had dropped... Continue reading

Ahhh, Fall. My favorite time of the year and the season that I truly didn't get to experience living in until my mid twenties. You know. Real Fall. Where the leaves change, you can start to cozy up by the fire, the season's of comfort food has begun and the... Continue reading

As busy as I may have been (and unfortunately too busy to post lately) I have still had time to bust out the occasional dessert every now and then. So, as I was perusing the aisles at Whole Foods recently, I came across these delicious looking chilean plums. You see,... Continue reading

Good grief it sure has been a long time since I have posted on here. I know, I know... too long. However, I have some good reasons, what with the move and moving into a house we had previously had tenants in, I sure have been busy fixing it up... Continue reading

I must admit that this New Year of 2013 has already brought much change. I started it in another city, a different home and with a renewed perspective. Although I am a confessed social media addict (currently in recovery), I have decided to not become so engrossed in my personal... Continue reading

I have always loved quick breads, because well... they are quick. Okay, okay it truly isn't that cut and dry. I mean, who doesn't love sweet, moist, bread?! This bread is somewhat of a cross between a cinnamon roll (minus the raisins) and your basic walnut bread. Utterly delicious and... Continue reading

While I'm only giving you a small break from the world of holiday cookies, this small reprieve will still come in the form of baked goods. Mainly because what else do we find ourselves snacking on this time of year? I have made this tart twice before and it has... Continue reading
