• I heart the Olympics

    “Because while we might not all be cheering for the same country, we can all appreciate hot dudes.” So sad it’s over.

  • Rhubarb pie

    If you read a lot of food blogs, you may have noticed that there are certain items and ingredients that are super trendy. Kale chips, for instance. Quinoa. Bacon in everything, including cupcakes. And back in the spring, it was all rhubarb, all the time. Except here. It’s not that I had anything against rhubarb. […]

  • Crazy busy

    I’m really sorry. I know I’ve been gone for entirely too long. And it’s not for lack of things to post. It’s just that a lot has been going on. First there was this: Then there was this… and, of course, now there’s this: But there has also been pie, pretzel dogs and… more pie. […]

  • How to make pie crust

    I was really, really hoping I would have the time to make something strawberries-and-cream-y this year in  honor of Wimbledon, because I love everything about Wimbledon and you can’t go wrong with strawberries and cream. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. It got ridiculously hot here, which I think probably was bad […]

  • Eating (and swimming and shopping) my way around the world

    Hey y’all. I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long. I was traveling for work and didn’t have time to write a bunch of posts to go live while I was gone. Anyway, before I get back to recipe posts about frosting and cookies (yay!), I wanted to do a brief photo recap of the non-work […]

  • Four-ingredient scratch strawberry shortcakes

    I can’t even tell you how excited I was when we saw (and smelled!) fresh, ripe, local strawberries the other day. It was like surprise Kate Spade sale-level excitement. And then I found a bag of White Lily self-rising flour. O.M.G. It was like God wanted me to make strawberry shortcakes and share them with […]

  • PSA: Betsey Johnson sale

    One of my favorite stores of all time is going out of business. I first learned of the existence of Betsey Johnson (and her daughter, Lulu) in an issue of Seventeen magazine when I was about 11. But the first time I walked into a Betsey store was a few years later, in Miami. The […]

  • Tropical scones

    What are you doing for your mom for Mother’s Day? Sending flowers? Taking her out to tea? Serving her breakfast in bed? Our mothers have already received the flowers we sent, and we’re getting them some presents. But we can’t exactly take them breakfast in bed, since they both live hundreds of miles away. Of […]

  • Vegan vanilla chai latte

    My big sister from my sorority was really big on studying at coffee shops and diners. One of our main sisterly activities was going to Waffle House to spend a few hours studying art history (her) and Russian grammar (me). But I really, really hate Waffle House. (Sorry, everyone in the South, but it’s just […]
