Happy Friday! My husband and I have lived in a few states together – California, Washington, and Massachusetts – plus a summer in Hong Kong! The food in each was different, and all good, but nothing beats the produce in Southern California. We have great options, all year round! With […]
Happy Saturday! This is most people’s favorite day of the week – it’s solidly the weekend, no work tomorrow, and late Friday’s are okay! It’s my favorite because I get to see both my son and husband all day. Our son is two and he’s started to say that on the […]
When I was growing up, whenever we would have sleepovers, we would always wake up to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls – and we couldn’t wait to dig in! Gooey cinnamon rolls, lots of frosting, and the warm, cinnamon taste – delicious! We would also make them whenever […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’m almost 70% Irish, and although I recently found that out through a mail-in DNA service, I’ve always known I had to be a good percentage since my paternal grandmother is 100% Irish. I’m an even higher percentage than I thought – but my skin tone […]

While it snows in many areas of the country, it’s currently pouring in Southern California – something that doesn’t happen a lot, but has been happening more over the last month. As everyone here says, “we need it”, but it’s chilly and makes for indoor days! Enter this bread – […]
Coconut is such a delicious flavor – and one I don’t always remember to use it! It automatically makes me think of tropical places, like Hawaii, or treats, like Mounds bars – all good things! I wanted to make a quick bread (no rising time), with a the delicious coconut […]
Happy New Year! I’ve been a bit MIA recently, but I’m aiming to post a lot more in 2019. To start these posts off, I focused on making a new recipe for the sweet potato mini muffins – one adults would like too! The last ones I posted were great […]
Our son just turned 21 months, which means his 2nd birthday is around the corner. Besides the fact that I’m in total disbelief that we almost have a 2 year old, this also comes with a bigger personality from him! He’s always had a big personality, but now that he […]
