Surprise – I own more than just two cookbooks! While I have been loving Chrissy Teigen and Joanna Gaines’ books, I do have a collection of cookbooks that have been calling out for some attention recently. I sat down with a few of my Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa books and revisited some recipes that I … More Barefoot Contessa’s Risotto Cakes
This past weekend I decided to make some muffins. Tay has been super picky about what she is willing to consume for breakfast so I wanted to have something in the freezer that she will actually eat before heading out the door. When I asked her what kind of muffin she wanted, I got the … More Hi. I Have a Baking Addiction
After our trip to San Luis Obispo last weekend, I’ve been savoring all the delicious finds we brought back. Here is my mid-week breakfast of Central Coast goodness: blood oranges from Avila Valley Farm, Challah toast from House of Bread and olallieberry jam also from Avila Valley Farm. Everything was so incredible – and colorful! … More TGIF- fun finds

These recipes have been passed down from generation to generation (or it is simply a box of Stouffer’s straight from the freezer!) and each recipe differs in such vastly different ways! Now, every family feels like their recipe for lasagna … More Vegetarian Lasagna – for the picky eaters
Day two of Girl’s Weekend 2019 dawned bright and early. It was another picturesque day on the Central Coast. After surveying all the amazing choices for breakfast in SLO, it was Tay who decided to head to SloDoCo donuts and then walk across the street to Black Horse Coffee– something for the both of us! … More Day Trippin’-San Luis Obispo (Part II)
For a few weeks now, Tay has been asking for a real-deal girls weekend. She wanted to go away, just her and me, stay in a hotel and do “girl things.” Who was I to deny a sweet little ten-year-old this awesome request???? After much contemplating, Tay decided that we would drive up the coast … More Day Trippin’ – San Luis Obispo (Part I)

I had been looking through two of my favorite cookbooks (Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Table and Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings, Hungry For More) and decided that … More Meal Time Mash-Up
Guys… we made it! Although this was a short week, it was a doozy! Here are some things that helped me survive!!! My favorite blog, The Small Things, posted her new favorite drugstore lip gloss this past week. Always looking for a perfect nude with a hint of color – I immediately went to Target … More TGIF- fun finds
I’ve been a big fan of Liane Moriarty way before it was cool to be a fan of hers. Before Reese and Nicole killed it in the HBO series Big Little Lies, I was fan-girling over the book and telling everyone I knew to read it. I’ve also gone on to read every other book Liane has … More Nine Perfect Strangers = an OK Read
I recently had an order for cookies, and it was my favorite type of order – one where I was given free reign to design what I wanted! Basically, the order came in and the customer wanted to give some cookies to her friend who just found out she was going to be a first-time … More Grandparents to “bee” cookies
