Hello, March! While the first official day of Spring is still a few weeks away- I’m ready to get started a little early with some long-overdue Spring cleaning, a bit of seasonal decorating to freshen up my apartment- and lots of baking. As much as I love a good Winter-and-snowstorm-appropriate hot meal to get me […]
Although Valentine’s Day was yesterday and it was probably- for many- quite unusual since it was the first we’ve had to navigate through since this pandemic started (things were still open and functioning normally around this time last year!) I thought it’d be fun to share a really great recipe for anyone who may have […]

Usually around this time of year, I’d be preparing for my annual Friendsgiving (and depending on how we were all feeling leading up to it- we’d either have a potluck style dinner at one of our homes or we’d go out to eat as a group) and getting ready to cook/bake something to bring to […]
