Happy Sunday!

I know it’s spring, but it has yet to feel like it. I’m told that while I was away in Pennsylvania, it was super warm in the SF Bay Area. Now, it’s back to cooler weather and rain. And while I was on vacation in Pennsylvania all of last week, it was mostly in the 30’s! I even saw snow fall a few times. But now that I’m back at home, Philadelphia is in the 50’s and 60’s! Seriously? Lol

All of last week, I was wishing for warm comforting foods while I huddled in front of the heater. Okay, sort of. I had too much to explore and too much to eat in a week to be sitting at home wrapped in a blanket. But I did wish I had something warm and comforting like this bowl of chili to chase away the cold.

Hi hi!

It feels like forever since I’ve been here. An entire week of vacation and suddenly it’s so hard to fall back into normal routine. Back to work, back to blogging, back to reality. I’m going to need a few more days to adapt. It’s always so hard to transition from vacation mode to real life.

Philadelphia City Hall

I spent three days in Philadelphia, exploring historical landmarks, visiting museums, eating delicious food, and admiring the architecture. Like, this image of city hall! Then, I spent a few more days in other parts of Pennsylvania, including Hershey! Yes, as in the chocolate company. An entire town dedicated to Hershey’s and it was soo amazing.

You guys! It’s finally spring, and berries are coming back into season.

I swear, I live for spring and summer when so many fruits are in season. And especially the berries when they’re sweet and juicy.

French toast is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch dishes. Mostly because it’s simple to make and I just love that it’s so custardy. Topped with maple syrup, it’s almost like having dessert for breakfast.

Happy Spring!

I can’t believe it’s already past the midway point for March and that it’s already spring. Even though, honestly, it doesn’t feel like it. It’s officially spring, but it feels like we’re still in the middle of a cold winter. It’s been raining for days, on and off throughout, but we’re crossing our fingers and hoping that it’ll clear up by Saturday.
