Yep, it’s official— the holidays are around the corner which means it is TIME to get cozy, turn on some good tunes and lean into the things that bring you joy. Like so many other people, this is my favorite time of year  to bake. There’s something extra cozy about the oven warming up the […]

The holidays are HERE and that means it’s time for something festive & warming (for both the belly and the soul). I just loooove baking this time of year. There’s something extra-cozy about the oven warming up the kitchen and filling your home with scents of cinnamon and cardamom and all the warm, comforting smells. […]

Ooookay, who else is on a wild baking spree these days??? *raises hand aggressively* I mean, if we’re doing lower maintenance holidays (aka, less travel, less people, less pressure) then we might as well use this time to get extra-cozy at home. For me? That means lighting all the natty beeswax candlesticks (unless it’s this […]

I can’t post this recipe today without giving you some low-key full disclosure. I’m not a real sweets kinda girl, but these cookies are straight-up like cookie crack. There, I said it. You have been warned. I’ve made a few batches so far (“recipe testing” and just making extra certain they’re real, real good for […]

I’ve been feeling like a oatmeal connoisseur over here lately (you know, anything for that milk supply).  On a low-key morning that’s meant a little oatmeal bowl for breakfast (with added collagen peptides, chia seeds, a splash of maple, dousing of cinnamon, sprinkle of spirulina, or handful of raisins).  But on a busy morning? Like […]

All the fun of the cookie, minus the sugar crash. Because why choose between the two if you don’t have to?! Equal parts sweet & spice, these cuties are only everything nice this time of year. Like tiny little fridge weapons, ready for you whenever those “other” cookies/cakes/all the holiday things and cravings call. Happy bites, […]

Most of the time, I don’t waste my time with baking. It’s the free spirit 4 year old that lives inside of me. Measuring is for babies.  Paired with my inability to resist, um…”upgrading” the ingredients…. and well. You can imagine what sort of treats come out of this kitchen on the reg. It’s mostly […]

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 […]

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 […]

A cookie you can feel great about eating for breakfast is my kind of cookie. Also in that category of things that are my jam– any cookie that actually comes out well enough that other people like it too. I’m not exaggerating. I have no shame about it. Baking is not my forte. All those rules […]

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been gluten-free [the root-cause cure for my out-of-nowhere, un-curable-by-medication, hypothyroidism]. People always ask me if I miss it, with a very concerned look on their face. No. Never, actually, I say. Because to be honest, nothing will ever taste as good as being medication free. And like I’m […]
