Despite what the temperature is here in sunny Los Angeles, it’s officially Fall, and I could not be more excited about it. As we speak, I am in full on Fall prepping mode. I’ve rearranged my closet to have easier access to cozy sweaters, warm coats, and super cute booties. I’m in the middle of […]
Guys…. GUYS…. did you know Pumpkin butter does not have any butter in it?? No, really, it doesn’t. Why it’s called “butter” instead of “spread”, I have no clue, but boy, is it a delicious lil’ treat. This weekend I held my annual pumpkin party so of course my girlfriends and I brought our A-game in […]
It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! OCTOBER is here, everyone! This is the start of my favorite season. A season where the heat finally burns off, pop-up pumpkin patches are a plenty, boots/scarves/and jackets start to make their way to the front of the closet, and the joyous hopeful attitudes that come with the […]
I’ve been trying to watch what I eat lately, I’ve been tracking my calories and have been more adamant about working out daily. Not for any specific reason other than to just feel a bit healthier. So, of course I’ve been fantasizing about all sorts of goodies and sinfully delicious treats since I decided to […]
St. Patrick’s day is around the corner and I am so excited. First of all, it’s a holiday that forces people to wear my favorite color. I am proud to admit that at least 20% of my wardrobe has some variation of green featured. Second, like most holidays, the emphasis on this holiday is on […]
Can you feel it? Days are getting longer, BBQs are heating up, pale legs are coming out of hiding, and the smell of sunblock is in the air. YAY! 🙂 To me, all of this signals that berry season is coming and will be here before we know it. I have never met a berry I haven’t like, […]
This weekend I was in a baking mood. Though it was sweltering hot outside I still wanted to basque in a home filled with that warm sweet smell that only baked goods could provide. Also, I recently purchased some agave nectar and I was dying to use it. Agave nectar looks a lot like honey […]
I have good intentions when I go to the market each weekend. I fantasize about the fantastic meals I will make that week and somehow think that every bit of food I buy will be consumed. Unfortunately, more often than not I have way too much food and can’t get to everything before it goes […]
I was trying to think of fun recipes to try to post on the blog and one day after eating a delicious Western Bagel with cream cheese I exclaimed to a co-worker “Oh! I can make bagels!” She looked at me like “Thanks for sharing,” Hahaha, but I had a moment of inspiration and I couldn’t help but exclaim […]
1 week until Thanksgiving and what’s a Thanksgiving without cornbread?! Instead of risking a dry uninspired dish or drenching your bread in honey hoping to mask the dryness try making my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. The sharp cheddar cheese gives these muffins a bite while the jalapenos create a pleasant boost. Want the secret to […]
