Lots of good things are happening here. It’s summertime, which means school is out, AND yesterday was wedding day for one of my best friends here in Louisville! In celebration, I made pancakes for breakfast.
I have a new favorite recipe for whole wheat pancakes. The pancakes are light and fluffy and they taste so Continue reading
After the crème brûlée, before the strawberry daiquiris, my mother wanted sugar cookies and she requested these.
I didn’t change the recipe at all so I’m not going to repost it. They do in fact taste almost exactly like Lofthouse Sugar cookies, which is not such a great thing if you ask me. We skipped Continue reading
It’s spring break and my mother is visiting! As a result, in the next 8 days, my house will get cleaned, all my closets will get organized, half my stuff will get thrown away, I will spend a lot of money buying new stuff, and I will gain at least 10 pounds.
We have crème brûlée for breakfast, sugar cookies for lunch, and Continue reading
I’m officially calling it. As of this morning, I resumed eating like a normal person and here‘s why.

These are one of my mom’s favorite things, but they’ve been increasingly hard to find – especially without nuts. Obviously, the solution was to learn how to make them so we can have them whenever we want.
Since my new job is amazing, I have two Continue reading
Last weekend I discovered two new loves – the Beargrass Farmers Market, and fresh peaches from the farmer’s market.
This recipe comes from Millie, who was a friend of my grandmother’s. It is incredibly easy to make and perfect for summer. Actually, it’s perfect for any time of year, because it works with any kind of fruit and it’s incredibly delicious. I mean Continue reading
I love Harry Potter. For unknown reasons, I did not read all the books until this year. I’d read bits and pieces, and enjoyed them, but never gotten caught up. After I saw the 7th movie, I went back and reread all of them, one after the other, start to finish, in about 2 weeks because I just had to know what was going to happen. Immediately.
