I’m back to reality this Monday. This past week/weekend has been a blur. I had my first big-kid art show last Thursday, and this was followed up with a whirlwind trip to Utah with Dave. We got back last night at 11:30pm and so now, I confess, I’m pretty much…

S’more Rice Krispies Treats might as well we re-named “Heaven in a 9 by 13 pan.” I’m just going to jump right in with endorsements- I ate about 4 of these bad boys in one sitting and shared the rest with my coworkers who polished these off in about 1 hour flat…

Happy 4th of July everyone! I really couldn’t bring myself to do a red, white, and blue recipe. (I’m just not sure that the crafty-cutesy holiday themed recipes are in my blood). But! I did give my mom a little iphone preview of this tart and she immediately said “it’s…

But aside from this permanent genetic connection and intimately visceral event, she’s actually an awesome individual in her own right. Meet my mom, Sue: a University of Michigan educated microbiologist; a…

Oh hey guys. Happy Monday. (You can tell by the enthusiasm in that statement just how happy I am that it is Monday.) We just got back from an epic road trip of a weekend where we drove from San Diego, to Las Vegas, to the Hoover Dam, and then back to…

Do you ever find one of those fancy recipes that’s so easy to make that you feel a little resentful that restaurants have been tricking you all those years? Well, that’s how panna cotta made me feel.For anyone who is unfamiliar, panna cotta is the Italian version of pot de…

Consider this my 2016 Easterly contribution to the blogosphere. But seriously guys. Can we just pause to revel in all that is carroty and cakey? I used to think I hated carrot cake, and then I realized that I just hate nuts in baked goods. Don’t get me wrong, there’s…
