Mujadara You know those kind of meals that remind you of home? The ones that fill the entire house with that familiar comforting smell? The ones that bring you back to the times when you were in really young, coming home from school or a swim practice, starving and freezing? You get home and are…
Happy New Year! The buildup of 2020 ending and the start of a new year was overwhelming for me. I am usually the first in line to kickoff every year with healthy eating habits and a new workout challenge, but this year it feels different. What really is going to change from 2020 in 2021?…
Salted Honey Butter Rolls These rolls are just the best! This is yet another recipe from Half Baked Harvest and has now become a Thanksgiving staple in my household. I’ve made them for my Friendsgiving the last two years and I also made them for my family this year as well. For the last 6…
Chicken Tortilla Soup The initial move to San Francisco was such a scary idea, leaving the life we created for ourselves and beginning a new chapter in a new, yet familiar, city. It’s been a humbling experience, to say the least. I wake up for work at 3 am every day and start my day…
Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Although it’s the warmest it’s ever been in the city since we moved here in March, it is actually (slightly) starting to feel like Fall. I may feel this way because there is the a pumpkin chai candle burning next to me, but either way I’m here for it. Fall…
Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde Happy Sunday everyone! While Spencer watches football, I’m cooking up some enchiladas & getting ready for the week to begin again.

Peachy Cinnamon Buns Peach season is coming to an end, but I had some in the kitchen and figured I would use them in one, last, baked goody for the season. These are the perfect Saturday morning treat! I’m talking breakfast in bed while binging the last season of Schitt’s Creek kinda treat. These babies…
Grilled Mahi Mahi with Mango & Avocado Pico De Gallo There is no doubt 2020 has had its’ fair share of tragic news. This week’s latest headlines have been highlighted with all of the fires happening across the West Coast. Yesterday, all of Northern California’s residents were living underneath an eery orange sky. Although today’s…
Summer Fruit Tart Anyone else trying to hang on to every last bit of Summer? I know, I am! Apparently San Francisco gets an Indian Summer in September and October so I’m very much looking forward to that. It’s September 2nd and 66 degrees- we’ll see if this delayed season really does happen. In the…
Banana Bundt Bread Not many things will be getting me out of my bed this lazy Sunday, but this Banana Bundt Bread is definitely worth it. This isn’t any ordinary banana bread. For starter’s you make it in a bundt pan, it has coconut flakes, AND oddly enough you add vanilla pudding mix to the…
