I’m writing this post because I’ve just spent the last week and a half taking straight-up product photos, and I need to get this out of my system. Plus, people ask all the time at hipster...
I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while now. We go to the Rochester Public Market EVERY Saturday, even in the dead of winter. Around the middle of April it gets so packed you can barely...
It’s been one year since I quit my “real” job – my minimum wage, unfulfilling, time-consuming job that had nothing to do with my degree. I felt trapped, suffocated, and I coul...
Today we hung out at the Lilac Festival here in Rochester. The soul singer on the main stage played Marvin Gaye, the air was filled with the smell of flowers & fried foods, and there was plenty o...

Disclaimer: I have a bad habit of eating super sugary breakfasts. I also have a bad habit of waking up every day at 11:30. Hey, I’m not lazy or unhealthy – I work until 2 AM and eat kale ...
After spending all day stressing about shipments and contracts and all of that, it felt so good to step out of my studio into this. It’s been quietly raining all day and the air smells of damp ...

I’m trying to create simpler meals in every sense of the term – less ingredients, less preparation, less everything. Recently we’ve found ourselves to be completely broke, to the po...
Little breaks are just as important as working really hard. Today’s little break is maple cashew granola from Small World Bakery here in Rochester. This is my favorite granola – not only ...
This past weekend I did some heavy lifting – I decided to move my studio space down a flight of stairs to a smaller room. If you’re curious to see what my studio upstairs looked like, her...
We’ve had a lot of problems with printing this issue of Chickpea. Like, a lot a lot. We’re finally back on track, but we’re already two-three weeks beyond when we said the issues wo...
And I’m very sorry for doing so! I’ve been busy battling with printing companies and dealing with contracts and just feeling depressed overall. It’s hard to keep up with a blog when...

These are delicious little sandwiches that are both filling and light. They’re simple to make, as they only require two parts, and most of the “cooking” time is idle. Try these out ...
I’ve never loved warm weather, I always liked hiding myself inside under a pile of blankets and staring at a screen all day/night. Recently, though, I’m totally in love with waking up to ...

this place was great, but because of the season it was really eerie. all of the big dead trees sounded like they’d snap and fall over in the high winds. i only saw one other person in the few h...
This might seem like another boring salad post, but I assure you, this salad is one of the best I’ve ever had! I’m no fan of iceberg lettuce salads (or, most of the time, even regular let...
Many of you may not know this, but I went to school for illustration and drawing. Have I done any major work since I graduated? No. Have I even done any real small work since I graduated? Not really....

I have a “thing” for vintage books. (And antique books!) Not only are their designs more interesting and beautiful, but their content is fantastic on many levels. For example, one of the ...
