The worst thing about becoming older is that the people around you are also becoming older, which means everyone’s life is going in a totally different direction. Those who you love are probably moving to a new place, beginning a new journey — and so you no longer hold same space in that person’s life. […]

I go to bed thinking about all of the ingredients in my fridge that I can use to prepare something sweet (is that normal?). Heavy cream, what can I do with that? Leftover chocolate chips, what about those (besides a good afternoon snack)? How about that bowl of egg yolks? If I’m being honest, I […]

Awkward. 😉 I’ve been living without an oven for the […]

As promised in my last post, I have a recipe for you. A simple, yet undeniably decadent recipe. Chocolate mousse is the person in your life who appears to have their life together, but, in reality, they don’t. Because let’s be real: no one does. On the outside, this mousse looks impressive.

I love Oreo cookies. Not only are they delicious but they have childhood nostalgia wrapped into each layer. I remember opening up my lunch every day of 4th grade with a Ziploc bag of Oreo cookies hidden underneath my egg sandwich. Something so simple made me so happy. It’s the simple things, right?
