Leslie and I went through a serious macaron obsession in the early 2010’s (is that what you call that decade?). I mean – a SERIOUS obsession. I’ve had them from just about everywhere in LA, several places in New York, and even hot off a plane from Ladurée …
Kevin and I enlisted some of our talented friends (or “friendors”) to help with our DIY wedding. Jamie tried her hand for the first time at assembling wedding florals for our big day. We had bridesmaids bouquets, groomsmen boutonnieres, and a few corsages for our immediate family. NOTE: …
I’ve been buying almond milk for years and only recently realized that it might be healthier and cheaper to make it at home. Most major brands add carrageenan as a thickener and a plethora of other things to their almond milks, and some even use as …

Finally, a more recently made treat. I went on a solid 3-month hiatus from baking to try and have less temptation laying around the apartment. Our pre-wedding healthy eating habits went out the window during our honeymoon trip to Big Sur and Napa. It was the weekend …
I am a creature of habit. I’ve been posting recipes that were inspired by things I’ve eaten at Nook Bistro for years, and I find myself still going there and getting the same thing every time. I love their butternut squash stew, but don’t love that I can’t …
Back from a long hiatus – and married at that! Stone fruit season is finally here again! I’ve been waiting a long time to post this recipe until peaches were in season again. I made these for Kevin and his mom’s family birthday celebration last September and they …
