Every family has their own holiday traditions (and it many instances, this translates to holiday foods). While some of these holiday treats are cultural, others are somewhat random or have a unique story behind them. I wanted to share holiday treats from my childhood (and adulthood) and a little bit of story behind them. The…
Every Easter, my staple contribution to the meal is usually green bean casserole (a polarizing dish , I know). Then — if I’m feeling up to it — I usually also make a fun, Easter-themed dessert. For some reason, Easter is the one holiday that I find so many cute dessert recipes for (compared to…
Because we were having a small get-together for Henry’s first birthday (due to COVID), I didn’t go all-out on party favors. (Plus, who really gets excited taking home a party favor from a one-year-old’s party?) I still wanted to give a little something away, and wanted it to match the woodland theme, so I decided…

I’ll be honest — I’m not a fan of Wendy’s. I try to stay away from fast food for the most part (although I had McDonald’s for the first time in two years recently), and Wendy’s has just never been my cup of tea. However, lately I’ve been deliberating to give it another try after…
Water- it’s good for your health, your hair, your skin and your body. Oddly enough, I wasn’t a big water drinker growing up or in high school. It’s not that I drank soda or juice instead, it’s just that I never felt all that thirsty, so I wasn’t a 8-glasses-a-day kind of girl. As I…
