My Vintage Cookbook Collection

Roughly two years ago, I started getting into collecting and reading recipe books. Not only just for the recipes, but the stories being told within them through either text or the pictures and illustrations inside. It came about due to a few reasons: I needed inspiration for dinner (an ongoing saga), Susan Branch, and a […]

Blue Cheese Biscuits

During a summer party at my in-laws house a handful of years ago, a guest brought these wonderful biscuits and I kept going back for more. I was stunned to find out not only how simple the recipe was but that it involved blue cheese, because ordinarily I’m not a fan. When I asked how […]

A Year In Review | 2014

If you ask me, 2014 went by pretty darn quickly! It feels like I blinked and even the Holiday season was gone. But here we are in lovely 2015, hoping it’ll bring us much happiness and personal growth. Going back through the pictures, I realized how many “firsts” I’ve had over the last year, such […]

Chicken Soup | Using Rotisserie Chicken

I remember getting this recipe from my mom sitting in a booth at a pizza shop, jotting down the ingredients on some scrap paper. It was my favorite soup she made and had the best comforting effects on a cold night. She did it mostly by feel (and I do a little of the same) […]

If having a Welcome Fall party wasn’t a thing, this year I certainly made it one! I’ve been wanting to throw a little shindig like this for ages and I’m so thankful for my in-laws for lending me their space to do it! This is another one of those posts where the pictures did not […]

Bidding Farewell To Summer

I’m fully prepared that this might be the last day we see 90 degree weather this year. Looking ahead into the next week, it looks like we’ll be greeted with pre-Fall 70 degree weather and I find myself mixed with emotions. I love Fall (everyone knows that by now), but we had such a cold […]

Frozen Hot Chocolate

You can probably easily find this recipe in the abyss that is the internet, however, I’d like to think I made it up…I was watching a Youtube video by CTFxC, and Alli mentioned how she’d had frozen hot chocolate in the past. Instantly my mind was like “oh, how would you make that?” Two minutes […]

Easy Peasy Apple Pie

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at making my very own hot Apple Pie. It seemed to be like a pretty big project to me and I would always be impressed by those who actually committed to the task and had a warm pie with golden crust that they made with their own two […]

Autumn Apple Picking

This year marks the very first year I’ve ever been Apple Picking. For someone who loves Autumn, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make that happen! David and I went to visit his sister and her family this past weekend and had the best time enjoying each others company while we all […]
