Every year on her birthday, I write a letter to my niece. You can read year one, year two, year three, and year four. Hi belle. You’re FIVE. The number of years you’ve been alive barely fit on one hand. (your mom is not handling this well, btw). You’re a little girl. This year cemented…

Speckled Egg Cake
Let’s get clear on one thing. I am many things, but a baker ain’t one of ’em. I try. I look at all these beautiful cobblers, and tartes and galettes and i swoon over them. but when i go to put the whisk to the flour, I often fumble. I could tell you it’s because…
Bunny Pancakes
Here’s the thing. When you have a niece as sassy and awesome and cute as mine, you HAVE to make pink bunny pancakes because you will literally win the rockstar aunt away for at least a day. and hearing her peals of laughter and giddiness at the sight of them is more satisfaction than the…

Armed with their AP government notes and the strength that can only be realized when it’s been tested, they fight. For change. For children. So someone else…
Amalfi Coast, Positano
Ah, Positano. She makes my whole heart sigh with longing and happiness and a better pace of life. We ventured around hairpin turns from Sorrento to Positano and although we arrived on a particularly gloomy day (more on that later), when we arrived at the top of the cliffside, you couldn’t help but let out…
Pretzel Bites with Quick Cheese Dip
Salt. Cheese. Bread. Oh hello Julie Andrews, yes, these are a few of my favorite things. I want to swan dive into this bowl. That is a rarity for me too. I don’t indulge in these types of foods all that often, but if you know me well, you know my devotion to pretzel runs…
