Mini lemon cupcakes with the silkiest lemon buttercream. First off, for those of you who don’t already know, I’m a finalist for a Martha Stewart American Made Award! Not only is this an honor, but it is also an amazing opportunity. The winner will be selected based on VOTES and will be honored at the…
Apple Cinnamon Blondies
Posted on September 4, 2012
I always thought that summer was my favorite season, but this year I can’t wait for the temperature to go down a bit. Maybe it was the ultra-hot weather this summer that was more conducive to air conditioning than afternoon walks. I’m not quite sure, but whatever it is I’m ready for fall. And in…
Brown Sugar Cupcakes with Cinnamon Ginger Buttercream and Ginger Cookie Pecan Brittle
Posted on August 26, 2012
Moist brown sugar cupcakes topped with a flavorful buttercream and surprise brittle topping. Sometimes it is easy to get in a rut. A cookie rut. An exercise rut. A wearing the same $12 gap t-shirt every day rut. We get a little comfortable with the usual. Cookies are easy and I’ve gotten great at them.…
Banana Brownie Chunk Greek Frozen Yogurt
Posted on August 17, 2012
Well, I think I am officially old. My 28th birthday is on Tuesday and while I know that in the big picture that really isn't old, I certainly feel it. After a late night out in the city last night, my body is just begging for a day of rest. A big difference from when…
Ad Hoc in Yountville, CA
Posted on August 13, 2012
ad hoc had to be one of my favorite restaurants in Napa. You may be familiar with Thomas Keller, who is well known for the infamous Per Se and French Laundry. However, ad hoc is so different from those two restaurants, perhaps only overlapping in its high quality and delicious food. While those restaurants are…

This year my blog’s birthday feels like something even more special. Although my blog posts have been less frequent than I would like, this part of the website is very special to me. Blogging about my passion is how I figured out my dream… I still can’t believe that I’m running an online bakery and…
Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco
Posted on August 6, 2012
Most of you know by now that ice cream is my favorite food group. Well, tied with peanut butter, of course. I literally crave it all year round and on most birthdays choose ice cream cake or ice cream pie over any other dessert. Okay, in addition to other desserts. The thing is, being a…
JAFCO Fun in the Sun Event
Posted on August 5, 2012
Last week I had the pleasure of participating in JAFCO’s Third Annual Fun in the Sun Event on Long Island. JAFCO is a non-profit organization that helps abused and neglected Jewish children find group shelters, homes, and mentoring in Jewish communities and families. The help and guidance that the organization provides to young children and…
Chocolate Chunk Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies
Posted on July 29, 2012
In my undying adoration of peanut butter over the years, I’ve looked past some other nuts that are just as delicious. Sure, I’ve shown almonds some love (even cashews, too). But in all this time, I’ve ignored pistachios. Well, one giant bag of pistachios from Costco later and I won’t ever make that mistake again. …
A Week in Wine Country
Posted on July 23, 2012
Last week in Napa was amazing! I didn’t realize how much I needed a vacation until I got back and found myself refreshed and energized in a way I haven’t been in a few months. Sometimes you just need that. Here are some highlights from our eating, drinking and relaxing. I’ll be sharing some more…
