I must admit, even though I’m a “food blogger” and a self-proclaimed foodie, I don’t think I really have a signature go-to dish. I feel like every blogger, mom, homemaker, Pinterest-obsessed lady, or even BBQ-loving man out there has a signature thing that they make well.

Today is Cookie Swap reveal day! Leave it to me, the typically Millennial internet-obsessed 20-something, to participate in a virtual/Internet-based cookie swap before ever participating in a real life one!

This is the weekly … Continue reading
Today = First day of Summer! Summer time = Fruit time. Whether it’s smoothies, popsicles, fruit tarts, or even a juicy apple or peach as a mid-day snack, fruit is clutch in the summer. One way I love incorporating fruit into my baking is by mixing fresh fruit juice with powdered sugar and covering all … Continue reading
Hello all. Hope you had a fun weekend celebrating dads! And if you’re anywhere in Northern California, hopefully you stayed cool this weekend. Summer is definitely upon us here in Sacramento, as we topped 100 degrees this weekend and have lots more 90+ degree days in sight. Since I’d rather not pass out in a … Continue reading
