Coconut Cream Cake
I don’t care if its wet and frigid at night. I saw a daffodil, so spring has officially sprung! That said, spring brings one of my favorite holidays- Easter. Now I am not a religious person, so to me Easter is more of a celebration of the cold and dark winter passing and celebrating a…

Summer Sippin’ – Rosé edit
Call me basic, I don’t care! It’s almost summer and the warm weather has me ready to switch from my trusty winter reds to my flirty summer pinks! Am I a professional sommelier?

Easy Dutch Oven Bread
Welcome to CORONA-GEDDON 2020. I’m sorry, I know we are all full of jokes now but this thing is a serious matter. If you can stay home just stay home. I am currently working from home and I am so happy to finally have a separate office from Brett in our new home (more on…

Ricotta Tomato Toast
End of tomato season usually means an overabundance of tomatoes in my house. Morning, noon, and night we have to incorporate them somehow! We definitely let the garden slack this year but we still have beautiful tomatoes coming out of the overgrown mess.
