  • Explore: Chef’s Table

    I have this rule that if I’ve heard of the same thing several times from people who are unrelated I have to try it immediately. Because, it’s always good. Netflix’s series, Chef’s Table, is a great example of this. We are two episodes in, and I am hooked. Seeing a passion for mastery and insatiable…

  • Explore: National Donut Day

    Today is National Donut Day. Let the fireworks begin. In honor of this special holiday, I wanted to share my recipe for lemon blueberry donuts once again.

This one, “obsessively good avocado cucumber salad,” is really special and easy. Crisp cucumber and creamy avocado play perfectly with a spicy mayo dressing. Try it this weekend. You won’t be disappointed. The…

  • Explore: Face Mask Fun

    Through most of 7th and 8th grade, I spent my summers walking to Sally Beauty Supply to stock up on loot. In addition to sparkly nail polish, I also grabbed a lot of facial masks, because folks, I have a face mask addiction. That being said, I haven’t done one in a long time. I…

  • Explore: Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Whipped Cream Icing

    I made these chocolate cupcakes for my friend Sarah’s Oscar party. The recipe is quite simple, and Martha Stewart, who let’s face it knows a thing or two about cakes, created it. I topped each one with vanilla whipped cream, which is light and so easy to make. The effect is classic and fancy, and…
