When Kelly and I went to Portland last year for her birthday, we went to the most amazing Mediterranean restaurant. We order every appetizer on the menu and stuffed ourselves full of hummus and olives and fresh, hot, homemade pita bread. The bread was unlimited, but I think the chef was probably regretting that by […]
One of my favorite foods it oatmeal. When I lived in LA, I went through a phase where I would eat oatmeal mixed with a little peanut butter and few chocolate chips in the morning. In the sorority house, I would eat the Better Oats oatmeal that came in the pouch where you fill the […]
Harry Potter and pumpkins…could there be any two things I love more?! Well besides dogs. And Christmas. And the ocean. And wine. Ok so maybe I love a lot of things. But I really love Harry Potter (as evidenced by my bachelorette party). I also really love pumpkins, which is why I signed up to be […]
Two things have confused me about the name Gingersnap: why are they called “ginger” when it’s the dark molasses that gives most of the flavor, and why “snap” when they are so soft and chewy? Turns out…not all gingersnaps are the same! I found I’m actually in the minority for loving a soft cookie. There […]
Granola is healthy, right? Even with the addition of chocolate? Ok, great, that’s what I thought! So here ya go, healthy peanut butter chocolate chip granola… I’m hiking Half Dome one week from tomorrow and I’m feeling surprisingly very calm and cool about it. The only thing that really concerns me about the hike, the […]
When I was in middle school there was a locally owned coffee shop across the street, Plantation Coffee, that we used to go to all the time, especially when my grandparents would pick us up. They had the best blueberry scones! In fact, I have yet to find a scone that was that good. Over […]
I cannot believe that Christmas is over. It always comes and goes too fast! Fortunately, I come from a large family and we extend Christmas- we celebrate with 4 days festivities. We start on the 23: Festivus. Yes, this is from Seinfeld. Yes, my family does celebrate this. No, we do not have a pole. Yes, […]
In one day I got both a pumpkin spice latte and a passion tea lemonade. My taste buds are so contradictory! I want the smells and the tastes of fall, yet I can’t quite get rid of summer and sunshine just yet. So here we are. Passion tea lemonade and a side of pumpkin bread. I’m […]
Is there any combination better than orange and dark chocolate?? Well, maybe peanut butter and chocolate. But orange and dark chocolate is a close second! You know those chocolate oranges you get at Christmas? That you have to smack on the table to open? These cupcakes are like those. Only even better. The tartness of the […]
Ya, try and say that five times fast. Sorry for the long name but it perfectly explains what these cookies are and what’s in them. We’ve got all the good stuff: chocolate, chocolate chips, and cookie butter. What could be better?! Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite stores. I walk in and automatically feel […]
I consider it a win that I did not eat Halloween candy for breakfast today. Unfortunately, I’m sure my continual snacking on it throughout the day is just as worse. Those mini kit-kats are just so addicting!! Tomorrow I will try to be better… You see, I suffer from Severe Sweet Tooth and Zero Will Power Syndrome. Sufferers […]
“She likes whiskey with her water”. “Every time you kiss me it’s like sunshine and whiskey”. “We could straight up blame it on the whiskey”. “She’s my little whiskey girl”. Not to brag…but pretty sure all of those country songs were written with me in mind. My name is Stephanie. And whiskey is my fav […]
