In honor of the royal wedding this past weekend, I wanted to share something extra fancy this week. Babka. My obsession with babka began about a year ago when I was first introduced to the beautiful, swirly bread via Pinterest. I assumed it was extremely complicated to make, so I didn’t even bother looking up a recipe to see. Instead, I simply admired these bread masterpieces from afar. Then one morning I woke up to a…
Read MoreIt is SPRING! Minnesota has finally welcomed spring, and I mean, gosh, it’s about dang time! I worked this past weekend, and on one of those days after work the weather was 50 degrees. The sun was shining, the entire population of Minneapolis appeared to be out and about, and I just had to join them, so I went for a run. The cardio aspect of the run was torturous thanks to…
Read MoreFall is here and I am leaping with joy! This truly is my favorite time of the year. Back home in California, fall was usually designated by when Trader Joe’s started stocking their plethora of seasonal pumpkin-related items.

Read MoreMy original plan was to release this recipe for St. Patrick’s Day, because it’s green and all. But life happened and I wasn’t able to get this recipe out in time. SO, we will now say the recipe’s pastel green coloration is for springtime and Easter. Yeah...
Read MoreAs I left work Sunday night I was greeted by inches of freshly fallen snow. The streets were quiet in the midnight hour as I gently drove home on the unplowed roads. Despite the beautiful white-covered scenery I awoke to this morning, the day turned out to be a very "monday-monday", even though I had the day off - which seems like it should be illegal, right?? Home bound with my newly acquired cough I dared not...
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about bananas, besides the delicious texture they add to smoothies, is that unlike most foods, when bananas start to go bad all hope is not lost. Rather, you can revitalize those “these are so soft they are gross”, brown bananas into delicious...
