As sad as I am to see fall pass us by I have to say that I am excited about December. This month is filled with sparkly lights, hot chocolate, gifts wrapped with large bows, my birthday (hint hint to all my friends and family out there 🙂 ) and COOKIES! I love that during […]
This past weekend, I held a Pumpkin party for some of my closet gal pals. What’s a pumpkin party you ask? Basically, it’s an excuse for my girlfriends to come over, drink lots of champagne and wine, carve or paint pumpkins, indulge in some of the best pumpkin flavored foods, and have some fun “girl […]
Pumpkin season is back friends! I repeat, Pumpkin season is BACK and I could not be happier about it. The obsessive planner in me has already lined up a pumpkin patch visit and have moved my blazers, boots, and scarves to the front of my closet even though it’s still in the 80s/90s in Los […]
I absolutely love fall, its hands down my favorite season. To me it signifies a new year, a new beginning, a fresh start, so much more than January does.

Yummmm… Most oatmeal cookies I find has raisins in it, which are definitely tasty, but I substitute dried cranberries in my oatmeal […]
I can’t recall there every being a time that I have had too much chocolate. I know I echo many people’s thoughts when I say chocolate has magical powers. It really does! One bite of chocolate can instantly alter my mood; I can go from grumpy to perky, gloomy to cheerful, annoyed to content, the […]
Almost every baked good I bake has cinnamon in it; so needless to say, I am a huge snickerdoodle cookie fan. I love the warm spicy taste mixed with the sweetness of the sugar that fully coats the buttery cookie. It’s absolute heaven. As delicious and popular as these cookies are in my opinion it’s […]
