I share my thoughts and observations about my life.
My baking challenge for September must have been telling the future somehow because I made focaccia and the first challenge of Bread week for the new season of The Great British Bakeoff just so happened to be focaccia! I made the focaccia on September 15th and that episode aired on October 8th. A freaky coincidence!!??... Continue Reading →
I am someone who craves the changing of each season. When it’s been too hot for awhile, I look forward to the chill that creeps in. If it has been freezing cold with already four or more snow storms, I’m ready for the warmth of spring and the beauty of the flowers blooming. My favorite... Continue Reading →
The baking challenge recipe I completed in August was one that I am proud to say I (kind of) created! The inspiration for it came from a lotion I bought from Trader Joes that smells like strawberry lemon. It smells so good that I want to eat it! I knew I wanted to make a... Continue Reading →
July 29th, 2021 marked 4 years in New York City. Each year has been brought so many unique experiences that I thought would be fun to reflect on. This may not be the most interesting blog post but I love a good list and reminiscing on my time so far in the greatest city in... Continue Reading →
My most recent baking challenge is one that I have always wanted to try.

During the second half of May, I was in VA with my family and I had the special opportunity to go strawberry picking with my sister Rose and niece Brooklyn. It was so much fun to fill a bucket full of fresh strawberries that tasted way better than the ones you pick up from the... Continue Reading →
Last Thursday, 6/3/21, I turned 31 years old. It's kind of funny how the mindset changes as you go through your 20's. I used to be nervous about turning 30 and then around 28 years old, I started hearing from friends how liberating the 30's can be and now I actually feel excited to be... Continue Reading →
As we enter May and the weather starts to get warmer, there is an air of positivity about what the summer will bring. In general I love the change each season brings, but after more than a year of living through the pandemic, this summer feels extra special. Now that almost all of my close... Continue Reading →
Several years in a row, I hosted a big Oscars party that included themed food and drinks, decorations, prediction forms, and prizes given to those who got the most categories correct. I'm pretty proud of the food spreads I made so take a walk down memory lane with me... The 2016 OscarsThe 2017 OscarsThe 2017... Continue Reading →
