I share my thoughts and observations about my life.
A lot of these baking challenges are inspired by episodes of the Great British Baking Show and this one is as well! In season 3, episode 2, the first challenge involved making 24 biscotti cookie in 2 hours. When I was watching the bakers work on their recipes, I was intrigued by the 2 step... Continue Reading →
I've wanted to write this blog for awhile. I love these kinds of blogs that other people write so I thought it would be fun to put this list together. Getting together a bag for the day doesn't sound like a science or intricate process, but living in New York makes it that way. Unlike... Continue Reading →
For my February baking challenge, I wanted to make a fun, delicate treat for Valentines Day and retry a technique that I didn't master when I originally attempted it - making jam from scratch. The recipe that met that criteria was Linzer cookies with raspberry jam. I fused two different blog posts for my kitchen... Continue Reading →
It's so cliche to say, but it is always so shocking how time flies. Even with the pandemic still going on and strong, I remained pretty busy the entire time. Between work, social events with friends, spending time with Pete, traveling to see my family, and working on personal projects like this blog, I rarely... Continue Reading →
Today’s baking blog has been one I’ve been excited to share for weeks. I’ve made a lot of tasty treats this past year but nothing has been as perfectly balanced flavor wise as the Pumpkin Roll I made from The Pioneer Woman’s recipe. The cake has a delicate pumpkin flavor that matches so well with... Continue Reading →
This upcoming Sunday, November 7th, 2021, is the NYC Marathon and it has been a long time coming. I ran the marathon in 2018 and when I heard that the 2020 marathon was going to be the 50th anniversary of the race, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. At the time... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
