30 Minute Asian Chicken Soup. – How Sweet It Is

It’s disguised as a hug. It is! I swear. This is a big deal. There are no noodles in this soup! I didn’t even realize it until I was halfway done testing the recipe. I actually meant to add noodles but my new years brain is completely fried and before I knew it, I saw […]

Blood Orange Vanilla Upside Down Cake. – How Sweet It Is

I have the best way for you to get it. In one delicious slice, covered with cold vanilla whipped cream! You might want to sit down for this one. When I was super young, we lived in this house that had a crawl space in the garage. It was more than a crawl space – […]

Okay, so I get it. Most times I also just want a super easy, throw-together-on-the-fly appetizer that I can take to holiday parties. I don’t want something fussy, something that is going to take a million steps to prep OR something that is near impossible to transport to a friend’s house. I HEAR YA. But. […]

Chocolate Cream Pie

Holiday baking is in full force in my kitchen. It has become a tradition to bake and decorate cut-out cookies for the holiday season while watching utterly cheesy, although delightful, holiday films. This year produced a trio of cutout flavors—classic sugar cookies, chocolate sugar cookies, and gingerbread cookies. The entire process typically takes place over […]

Peppermint Cookies – My Baking Addiction

You know what I really love about this time of year? All the parties! I see them as opportunities to bake and share loads of cookies. I’m happy, the hosts are happy, and the guests certainly don’t seem to mind all the cookies, either. One of my favorite flavors around Christmas is peppermint. I’m not […]

Bowl of Food: Thai Beef with Fresh Vegetables

There’s something about a bowl of food that feels more sustaining, more comforting, more sincere than a flat ol’ plate of food. It’s ample, piled, and without pretensions- layering what might be the last of the rice in the pantry with what likely are almost-forgotten vegetables in the refrigerator into something special, someway somehow. Sure, […]
