One of life’s more important questions: If you were a Disney princess which one would you want to be? Sometimes I want to be Jasmine, running around the house in my glittery balloon pants (classy PJ pants), showing the sultan who’s boss, and chilling with my awesome cat. Other days I want to be Belle. […]

raspberry jam crumble bars
“An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions, and I have mine.” -Andres Serrano In English, the word “obsession” has a negative connotation. From Mariah Carey taunting us all with “why you so obsessed with me?,” to the fact that being “obsessive” seems synonymous to having a “disorder.” Who said being “obsessive” is […]
s'mores bars
I love online personality tests. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. The ones that tell you what flavor of ice cream you are and which Friday Night Lights character you’re most like. Making s’mores is a lot like taking one of those online quizzes. I can tell a heck of a lot […]
s'mores brownies
I love pumpkins, apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg; but sometimes, around this time of year, I start to dearly miss the fun, carefree flavors of August. Especially s’mores. I was always the kid who burnt their marshmallow to a crisp in the campfire. Parents, teachers, and even other kids would always tell me to stop — […]
best ever blondies
Please stop reffering to blondies as “brownies without chocolate.” It makes them seem lacking. When I think of them as “brownies without chocolate,” I wnoder where the gooey chocolate is after every bite, and fail to appreciate the chewy, buttery sensation that is unique to blondies. I still remember the first time I had a […]

My dad loves apple pie, and now that it is officially fall, I felt that I should bake him one. However, the thought of making a […]
best ever brownies
Everyone needs a favorite brownie recipe. I fell in love with Ina Garten’s “Outrageous” brownies. But found them impractical for sharing because of their super gooey constancy. Then, I came across David Lebovitz’s recipe for the “Absolute Best Brownies” (these celebrity chefs sure are modest…). And I fell in love. {dense, fudgy center} These only […]
carrot cake lara bar copycat
Bars are one of my favorite snacks to pack myself during the day, they are compact, non-messy, and delicious! Lara bars are some of my favorite bars to carry around with me because of their simple, pure ingredients and delicious flavors (unlike the dreaded Power Bar!). The one downer about these bars is that they […]
five seed almond bars
I love to decipher and reverse engineer recipes — whenever I taste something yummy out and about, I always say smugly to my friends “I bet I could make this at home for much cheaper.” This is exactly what happened when my mom brought home a bag of Five Seed Almond Bars from Trader Joes. […]
