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?…
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…
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…
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.

This was my first attempt at making a pretzel and I’ll be honest, shaping them is not the easiest, but they are very fun to make. They are a bit time consuming and…
Strawberries & Cream Pretzel Pie In my opinion, one of the best parts about summertime is the sweet summer berries. Typically I like making berry tarts, but I was craving something creamy- yet tart, and also sweet- yet salty. This recipe is yet again inspired by my favorite, Half-Baked Harvest. If the thought of making…
SQUEEZE THE DAY 2020, the year of: the Rat, the bushfires in Australia, the death of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, the acquittal of president trump, the Coronavirus Pandemic, the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, and the Beirut explosion (just to name a few events that have happened thus far this year).…
Raspberry Scones You ask, I make. These scones were a request as a birthday present and I was happy to take on this challenge because I will be making these much more often! They are scrumptious. I haven’t been the biggest fans of scones in the past because they are typically super dry so I…
