I have lived a full thirty years. Thirty years full of fumbles and mistakes. Thirty years of accidents and apologies. Thirty years of learning. These are the trivial bits of thirty years of learning....
I really wanted to be a waitress… until I really didn’t want to be a waitress. When I was a kid, my family would go to the same Italian restaurant every month. I was so smitten by the you...
So here’s the thing…. I made ice. Actually, my freezer made ice. I put strawberries and water in an ice cube tray. Not everything is yeasted, risen, covered in cinnamon, or battered and f...
Let’s just be real… Mondays are hard. Sometimes Mondays are hard because Sundays are hard. Sometimes Sundays are hard because you pay $5.00 for a little container of organic blueberries, ...
Glitter is not food. Well… Unless it’s in sprinkle form. Sprinkles are totally food. Gold glitter belongs on shoes. Golds sprinkles, on cupcakes. Today I’d like to explore the value...
Sometimes I can’t tell whether or not I’m doing a good job. I realize this sentence might sound trite and indulgent, and downright silly… but I mean it. Sometimes I can’t tell...
Things I Like Because of Other Things I Like: I like black and white striped shirts because they are the perfect compliment to bright pink lipstick. I like super short fingernails because they are ju...
Some cities are just filled with magic. London has magic. St.Louis has spooky magic. I think my Venice home has a good amount of sparkle magic. But New Orleans… New Orleans is aalll magic. I wa...
It couldn’t have been easy to be my mother. I was shy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I’d observe a national day of tantrums every time she cut my hair. I was obsessed with Julia Chil...
Let’s categorize this post as not cupcakes, not pancakes, and not kale. Let’s categorize this post as real life real talk. Five Ridiculous Things I’ve Said to Boys that I May or May...
Recipes knock on my door everyday. They come in, take off their shoes, and make a complete mess of my kitchen. They stick around for a few days, really get comfortable… and then the recipes lea...
London oh London, how I love you! Can I show you some images from my trip to England? Now… before you go thinking me all sorts of fancy, I need to make a confession. This is the very first time...
What would you do if I told you that I’m in just a teeny-tiny-weeee bit of a rut? I’ve got some nerve, right? Soooome nerve. Lately, I’ve been lucky enough to travel the country on ...
Today I was totally successful at inspiring frustration and anger in at least several people. At least several. Ooooh my goodness. Have you ever had one of these days? It’s the kind of day when...
I’m back from London, and I already miss the Queen, the polite taxi drivers, and Beefeater (the gin… and the red-coated dudes with the bear skin hats). London is so lovely. The only probl...
It’s a beautiful day when I start preparing a salad by taking out a crusty baguette and butter. It’s a beautiful day when sunlight shines through my beer. It’s a lovely day when I c...
Where did you find comfort this weekend? I found comfort in hazy, chilly mornings. I found comfort in my 100% beat up house slippers. There was comfort in bacon sandwiches. I found comfort in tak...
I do this thing that I know… I KNOW… is completely annoying. I know it’s annoying, because I sometimes annoy myself doing it. I make voices for things. I make voices for… some...
I saw people in bikinis today. People. In. Bikinis. Friends… apparently it’s time. Granted, I live in Los Angeles. It’s SunnySunTown. Just a few days ago I was eager and ready ...
I want waffles… all the time. In my dreams, I replace all of the bread in my life with warm waffles. Waffles with peanut butter and jelly. Waffles with ham and cheese. Waffles with ice crea...
I’m ready! I’m ready for summer lunches with pink wine and dark sunglasses. I’m ready to be almost annoyed by the big, bright sun in my face. My love affair with Spring always mak...
Beyond being a baker, I’m also a blogger. Had you noticed. Yea… it’s a real thing. Maybe you’re a blogger too! There are tons of blogs these days. They’re beautiful!...
Some problems can only be solved by Fiona Apple songs. Loud. In headphones. All up in my brain. In the car. Drowning out surroundings. Fiona Apple reminds me of heartbreak that I no longer mourn...
We are lucky enough to live in a world with both bright Spring asparagus and perfect eggs. I approach both with extreme reverence… and then I smash them together on a plate and call it lunch. ...
Do you have an investment piece? Wait… do you even know what an investment piece is? Don’t feel bad… I’m just figuring this out myself. An investment piece is a bonkers awes...
Where do you find inspiration? Up in the sky. Down by your feet? On Pinterest? In a strange city, at a strange coffee shop! staring at a man that reminds you of Clark Kent, remembering how the fe...
Five Things I would encourage you to do this weekend: One: Give yourself some time to DO and NOT DO. Sleep in or take an after-pancake nap. Then clean out a kitchen drawer… or tackle a bath...
Three (top notch) (totally awesome) (majorly job applicable) (important!) skills I’d like to add to my job resume. (Yes… this is a place my mind wanders.) - Outrageous use of punctuatio...
Spinach, today! is totally going to be the name of my new and forthcoming vegetarian zine. I’m getting into the zine business… with spinach. It’s super niche. Ok… that̵...
I ride my bike like a stone-cold maniac. I tear through the streets, whip around corners, weave through cars, and am otherwise reckless. If I look cocky on my bike… that’s because IR...
