I love our local farmers market! We go every Saturday rain or shine and pick up a weeks worth of produce and it’s wonderful to truly eat with the seasons. As a cook, it’s given me an opportunity to experiment with different ingredients I normally wouldn’t attempt to try and since all the food is… Read More

Happy 2016! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season filled with love and fun! We are back from our holiday break as well and today I bring to you a dish that I am very proud of. I love asian cooking but I have always lacked the skills to make an asian… Read More

This week has been a bit stressful here. Everly decided that 15 months was long enough in her crib and made a break for it by flinging herself out over the rails. At first, I thought it was a one time thing but she repeated it over and over until we had no choice but… Read More

I have a seriously dysfunctional relationship with the Bay Area. True, it’s my home and we have so many wonderful things here. Great jobs, a beautiful coastline, San Francisco, of course all of our family and friends, and GOOD WEATHER. Which is where my love hate feelings of the Bay blossom from.

Sometimes I don’t feel like cooking. I know it may come as a surprise to some people when I say this but it’s the honest truth. Every time we have company over for dinner I always hear how lucky Eric is to have me cooking him fabulous meals every night but in reality that’s just… Read More

And although my favorite season is fall…(yay Christmas is coming!!)…I’m not ready to let go of all the colorful summer fruits and veggies! I better run… Read More

Today we are celebrating Everly’s 1st birthday! I can’t believe it’s been one whole year since this little blessing entered our lives and I haven’t regretted it for one second! Over the weekend we were lucky enough to get together with friends and family to celebrate the squirt with a flamingo themed pool party! Complete… Read More

Last week was a huge milestone for me…I went on a mini vacation without my baby for 4 WHOLE DAYS! You heard that correctly…It was 4 days with no diapers, no bedtimes, no schedule and no crying! For a few days leading up to the trip, I admit, I was having a bit of anxiety… Read More

Each night before bed I love to take a little bit of time to myself to whine down from the day. Sometimes it’s re-runs of Modern Family or 20/20 and sometimes it’s a book. Right now I’m juggling between 2 different books, one, Loveology, for a six week marriage class through our church (which is a… Read More
