I don’t know what it is, but when I travel for a weekend, I always have a million different bags. Maybe I just should take 1 big bag and call it a day? I just try so hard to be an efficient and minimalist traveler (ha!). What if I want to workout? Sneakers. Are we [...]

Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate Chips & Strawberry Buttercream
This recipe came about while I was testing out ideas for an upcoming Cookie of the Month, and wondering how I could brighten up the resulting flat and not so exciting lemon cookies. Don’t let me fool you, the lemon cookies actually taste quite good on their own- they are chewy and delightfully lemon flavored (not [...]
(Real) Pistachio Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream
My dad isn’t a dessert person. I know, cover your mouth in horror! Him and my sister both… my mom and I, we are just made differently. Actually, I relate to my dad in a lot of other ways. His math and science-geared brain, his smile, and his stubbornness, to name a few. When I [...]
Mini Cookies ‘n Cream Cupcakes

How to Make Macarons and Some Super Bowl Ideas
This past Saturday, Matt and I actually had a few hours with nothing on the agenda and I actually had energy, shocking! So I finally experimented with something I’ve been wanting to try forever, macarons! I’ve loved macarons since I first tried them at the famous La Duree in Paris almost six years ago. (Oh [...]

Winter Fruit Crisp {Gluten-free}
I made this fruit crisp so long ago, I had to hunt through piles and piles of notes and butter-stained papers to find it. Well, I guess Thanksgiving wasn’t that long ago, but right now it feels like a lifetime. Fruit crisps are one of my favorite desserts. I mean, anything that is served warm [...]
The Top Keep It Sweet Desserts of 2012
This weekend has been amazing. It started with a late afternoon pedicure Friday (with one of my favorites), and after finishing up some computer work, went into full-force relaxation with Matt. Wine, movies, TV and healthified nachos for dinner were all included. Today we are heading to see my family for a quick visit before [...]
