We’ve been baking challah and blondies, making pasta, not really eating a ton of greens, staying up late watching Mindhunter, and enjoying the slow pace that this season brings. Not much to report, just enjoying this time, relaxing and sharing food with friends.
Read MoreI made these chai apple cider popsicles for my sweet friend Hannah for her going away party because she’s moving to England!

The name escapes me, but this is the closest thing to the nostalgic flavor and taste of that ice cream! (If you know what I’m referring to please leave a comment so I know I’m not crazy.)
It’s creamy and fruity with a little spice from the cardamom, the coconut milk ice cream texture is silky smooth and is perfect for the dairy free friends out there! Plus, it’s pink :)

Read MoreJust stopping by with a cutie pie fluffy pink, white, and gold cake for the sweetest new earthling, baby Georgia! My best friend Olivia’s sister Ava had the most beautiful little girl a few weeks ago and I was just so excited, so I made a cake to celebrate that matches the colors in her nursery. Imperfect frosting and meringue kisses but for my first themed cake I’ve learned a few things.
Read MoreJam. Jelly. Preserves. Whatever the kind, sweetened fruit in a little jar is the best topping for quite literally anything: toast, dessert, cake, a plain spoon. The one thing that has kept me from enjoying jams lately is the added sugar and lack of more naturally sweetened options.

we are gearing up for our big move tomorrow, and i'm partially homesick already for nyc. this past year has been the most challenging and rewarding time of our lifes and we have had to say the hardest goodbyes this weekend: to our friends kevin and tori, moira, our waiter Walter at The Mansion, to the lemon man who works at the deli below us, our maintenance men, my team at Plural, the whole shebang.
Read Morei ordered the sweet laurel cookbook last weekend and have been dying to break into it all week. i'm truly prepared to take a deep dive into gluten-free and dairy-free baking, that i bought an entire gallon of maple syrup that is currently living on the top shelf of our fridge, and will be there indefinitely (sorry frank!)
