Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 5/3/15
Posted on May 3, 2015
And just like that, it’s Spring. Actually, we are even about to get some summer-like temperatures. It’s basically practice for our trip to Florida next week (!!!!!!!). We’ve been planning this trip with family for what seems like eternity and I just can NOT wait. I’m not sure I really need to pack anything besides…
New Mom Real Talk Edition 7
Posted on April 30, 2015
New Mom Real Talk: 6-month postpartum body image, dieting, working out etc. My last post on the topic of post-baby body image, etc. was written almost three months ago, so I thought it was time to revisit the topic. Confession time. A few days ago, for the first time since my first trimester of pregnancy,…
Brown Butter Banana Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Icing
Posted on April 27, 2015
Three layers of brown butter banana cake slathered with amazing brown butter cream cheese icing. If there ever was a cake worthy of remaking for better photos it would be this one. I don’t typically like to make a huge cake (ahem, three layers) without an occasion, but this one was too good to hold…
Lemon Berry Pavlova Parfaits
Posted on April 20, 2015
The prettiest parfaits layered with lemon whipped cream, fluffy meringue and fresh berries. I’d love to say that I had this big “creative” idea to turn a pavlova into a parfait but that would be a lie. In fact, I had all intentions of sharing a perfectly pretty pavlova with you until mine crumbled a…

Man, just when things were really looking up our household got wiped out with a stupid cold this week. At first I thought my throat was just going crazy with allergies but when Matt, L and I all woke up completely under the weather on Tuesday I was proved wrong. Nothing like a cold to…

First of all, thank you so much for all of the well-wishes that I’ve gotten regarding my mom. They are very much appreciated! So I don’t know if it’s the warmer sunnier weather (no doubt), my mom’s seemingly good recovery (most definitely) or the free latte I got at Starbucks yesterday (didn’t hurt), but things…
Mega M&M Cookies
Posted on April 7, 2015
Big chocolatey cookies full of Mega M&Ms. I’m very aware that I eat my feelings. Tired, sad and stressed always lead me to chocolate, carbs, ice cream, cookies or all of the above. I try not to go overboard and realize that this isn’t the healthiest way to deal with emotions. But frankly, I don’t…

Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of weeks. Remember when my mom had surgery six weeks ago? Long story short, she had to have another surgery early last week and I’ve been running back and forth between my apartment, my parents’ house and the hospital since. Luckily, my mom is finally home from…

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments and messages regarding last week’s post. Sometimes you just have to get something off your chest… I apologize for not being able to share details. Other than all of that, this week felt a bit chaotic… or maybe I felt anxious about upcoming chaos. The next few…
