Category: Desserts + Sweet Treats

Last weekend, when I was down in Santa Barbara for a conference, I was reminded of two things: My love of grilled fish tacos (which happened daily), and how deeply satisfying acai bowls are. (Which, you know, are basically the same thing as my recipe for green smoothie bowls, but plus frozen or acai powder, with […]

  Mmmm k. It’s time. After finding at least 15 matcha pics on my phone from the last 6 months, I have to tell you guys more about my newest obsession. So, as most of you know, I’ve always been a big time green tea drinker. Daily. But also, a sporadic coffee drinker, on trips […]

I’m not sure why- but for some reason, I’ve never thought to roast fruit. Grill it? Yes. Roast? Veggies only, duh. Except, now I know how much I’ve been missing. Roasted apples are—stop it. Too good. What?! Who knew. A little kitchen experimento, gone right this week. Too right, because now I can’t stop putting […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Notes: The fruit filling in this recipe can be varied depending on the season! I’ve made it with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, apples or pears. But this combo below is my favorite. Perfect served with vanilla or coconut milk ice cream, or in the morning for a little breakfast treat.  8 […]

Everyone knows the best part about summer desserts (stone fruit or berry crumbles) is that addictively crunchy topping, of course. Everyone always wants more of it, per bite. And by everyone, I mean me. Always. So this week, it was time to call it like it is. And make this thing–a thing, on it’s own. Cookie-ing it […]

So, it’s Summer. Ahh. YES. The season of BBQ’s, patio nights under the string lights, boating, traveling, camping, sunsets, grilling, concerts and hanging with friends and family until the sun slowly sets late at night. And food, duh. The best, freshest food of all. Because it’s the season of freedom and ease. At least I think […]

As I write this, I’m waiting to board the plane… to my WEDDING! WHAT?! 🙂 I’m so excited, I can barely type straight. And, I know, I know. I told myself (and you) I would take this week off from blogging. But, turns out, I don’t want to. Mainly, because you guys actually need this. It’s […]

Just in case your instagram feed needs some more strawberries. Or rhubarb. Or, ways to make them healthier than the classic version (PIE). Take this as a sign. Because both of these babies have the tiniest, shortest season when they’re fresh and perfect. Don’t get rhubarb FOMO. This is your warning. You all know it’s […]

This sun has been making me do crazy things. Like make tropical cookies while Jack Johnson’s words float around my kitchen like happy little sunshine fairies. Wearing hula skirts. Welcome to my thoughts.  So, when those said cookies turn out to be soo good, but also great for you (as far as cookies go), you let those fairies […]
