I absolutely love the late spring and summer season. There are so many different fruits. I especially love all the strawberries that are now available at the farmer’s market. After all the rain we had this past winter, the strawberries are seriously huge. So of course, I could resist buying a few baskets to take home with me.
Omg! I can’t believe we’re already in May. Only a little more than a week until Mother’s Day! So I thought I would share with you a few brunch ideas. That way you can make plans ahead of time. These recipes are delicious and perfect for surprising your mom with a homemade breakfast.
I seriously love latte art.
Even the simple ones like these hearts. Not to say that the lattes aren’t good, but it’s even better when there’s pretty art on top.
These are cookie butter latte and black sesame latte.
I’m always on the lookout for new latte art cafes to try. So if you know any in San Francisco, I’d love a recommendation. =)
Earlier this week, we celebrated my birthday at work. I am so in love with this cake! So many sprinkles!
It’s finally spring, and it’s cherry blossom season!
My sister and I were in the park the other day enjoying all the cherry blossoms in bloom. They don’t last for long so definitely enjoy it while you can.
What plans do you have for this weekend?
Just a couple more days left till Thanksgiving!
That means it’s time for me to share with you some of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes!
From breakfasts to sides to drinks to desserts, I’ve got you covered.
Happy Halloween!
Did you dress up this last weekend? Go to Halloween parties?
I’m not really one to dress up for Halloween. But I do love seeing people dress up. So many creative costumes out there!
With October wrapping up, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite easy fall inspired recipes from over the years.
I love all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. There’s something about fall that’s truly inspiring. Leaves changing colors on the tree branches, a variety of squashes in abundance, the upcoming holidays, and the warm flavors of the herbs and spices used in cooking.
I get really excited about fall and all the things that come with it. I only wish it didn’t pass by so fast!
Seriously, only four more Thursdays until Thanksgiving.
So while fall is still here, let’s enjoy some fall inspired dishes!
One of my closest friends is getting married next summer. I’ve known her since we were in elementary school, and we became best friends in middle school.
Now she’s getting married, and she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. Of course I said yes! We’ve known each other forever. Like more than half our lives.
But I’m kind of nervous because I have never been in a wedding party before. I’ve always been a guest.
This bouquet cookie was wrapped prettily in a pink scalloped box. So cute!
Last week, I spent a couple days at the California Dental Association convention to take some classes and to look at the different vendors.
And since I was in the area, I finally got to try Lemonade, a restaurant originally from L.A., which serves seasonal foods in a rainbow of colors.
The food is sold a la carte style and tasted amazing, but a little pricy since it’s sold per portion.
Plus, you know my obsession with lemonades. And they have so many different flavors. I tried the blood orange lemonade and the guava limeade. Can’t wait to try the rest.
Oh, it’s fall! I haven’t quite let go of summer yet so for at least the next couple of weeks you’ll still see a mix of summer and fall recipes.
But if you’re ready for all things fall, here are some recipes I stumbled across this week that I can’t wait to try for myself.
When I’m not working over the weekend, I love visiting my local bakery to find fresh pastries. I’m seriously all about trying new pastries and different flavors.
How can I resist trying mango and apricot scones? Or strawberry almond muffins? The seasonal flavors are so inspiring. Maybe I’ll pick up more on Sunday for Mother’s Day. =)
In case you’re still looking for ideas for Mother’s Day, here are a few recipes I found this week.
