I’m so excited to tell you about caramel! I went to a pastry making class a few weeks ago with my mom where we learned how to make Gateau St. Honoré, a cake named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. Only the French would have a patron saint dedicated to making…

recipes we’ve tried lately: quarantine edition
With more time at home, the need to stretch food for longer between grocery trips, and the desire to balance healthy food, comforting meals, and new interesting recipes to stave off boring mealtimes, we’ve found ourselves making more detailed meal plans and adding lots of new recipes to our repertoire. Since I am working from…
50 Things to Do in Quarantine
Like many of you, I have been self-isolating for a few weeks now. I am an introvert, am lucky to be able to work from home, and don’t have to juggle working with childcare, like many of my colleagues do, so overall my experience has not been too bad. I am very grateful that I…
zucchini bread
I love quick breads. I eat them for breakfast, mid-morning snack, afternoon snack, and dessert. No matter the flavor – banana bread, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, carrot cake loaf, cranberry streusel quick bread – they never last long in our house. This healthier version of zucchini bread is no exception. Not only do I love…
s’mores rice krispie treats
Happy July! There are three types of desserts that always remind me of summer and the 4th of July – pie; anything red, white, and blue; and s’mores. Since I don’t have access to my own fire pit, I try to fit the s’mores flavor into any dessert I can this time of year. This…
funfetti pan-banging cookies

pimento cheese mac and cheese
Pimento cheese mac and cheese – two things I love smashed together. I’m not big on most casseroles, but mac and cheese has been and will forever be one of my favorite foods. Growing up, my mom would mix peas and pepperoni into her homemade mac and cheese to make it a one-dish dinner. My…
spelt chocolate chip cookies
I’m on a cookie streak right now. These spelt chocolate chip cookies stemmed from a case of curiosity. I had seen the melted chocolate chunks and coarse sea salt of these cookies flash across my Instagram feed a few times and saved the posts each time with the intention of making them. Weeks passed and…
pistachio cinnamon morning buns
I realized last night that after the long weekend last week, I never got around to posting. Whoops! We were on the road on Tuesday and it felt like our routine was totally off until the weekend came and we got a reset. While I missed you last week, these pistachio cinnamon morning buns were…
nyc at christmas time
It’s been a while, but I’m back! At the beginning of December, Will and I took a week-long trip to the Northeast for his residency interviews. His last day of interviews for the week was in New York City, so I took the day to walk around and see the city decked out for Christmas….
