Pineapple Vanilla Bean Margaritas

Pineapple Vanilla Bean Margaritas

HELLO! It's been a while (moving, adjusting, dropping the ball, chilling...etc, etc.) and I thought I'd ease back into things with a margarita because a) it's Cinco de Mayo this week (also, how is it MAY ALREADY?! and why does the passage of time always get me?) and b) why not? These Pineapple Vanilla Bean Margaritas are my offering for this years #MargaritaWeek hosted by the lovely and inspiring Kate of ¡Hola! Jalapeno--I love seeing snippets of her life on IG and be sure to check out her ...

Raspberry Sandwich Scones

Hi! It's been a while, ya'll! Honestly, I have no amazing excuse. I mean, yes, we are in the midst of an out of state move, but it's been relatively easy thus far (I am probably jinxing myself here, so watch out for that). Our house sold within a week and we are barreling toward the easiest closing of all time with only a vague idea of where we will live once Casper and I arrive in Reno in the next few weeks. The truth is, I've been absent from this space not just because of the hectic nature of ...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Dates with Sea Salt

Peanut Butter Chocolate Dates with Sea Salt

Hiii! It's the first post of 2017 and if I'm being honest, it was a struggle to get it up because we are packing up our lives and moving! Oof. It feels very real to type that out, but it's happening. I am a mix of emotions. There's excitement because this move brings a great opportunity for Sean's career and will allow him to do the kind of work he enjoys, plus it moves us to the same city (Reno) as my best friends, their children, and much closer to both of our families--but, I'm also sad. I ...

Chai Spice Caramel Apple Pie

By

Happy Holidays and (almost) New Year! Truth be told, I wasn't going to share anything this week, but then I remembered that I made and photographed one of our favorite holiday pies before Thanksgiving and never shared it here. So, here it is: Chai Spiced Caramel Apple Pie! I've made some version of this pie for the last few years during both Christmas and Thanksgiving--basically, since we bought our home and had a baby. The recipe is finally where I want it to be, so it'd definitely time to ...

Spiced Cider Hot Toddy

By

My husband, Sean, and I are awful at dating. This isn't a new thing that happened after Casper was born, it's also not something we lament. We just tend to stay in and order take-out over going out.  Recently, we did go out (and by recently I mean in October) and I had a toddy that I cannot stop thinking about! It was from Bithouse Saloon here in Portland and had hot cider, cachaca, lemon, maple, and this thick, dense layer of softly whipped cream that acted as a sort of lid you had to sip the ...

Lemon Pistachio Linzer Cookies

By

This post is in collaboration with #calmandbrightcookienight. Visit  The Modern Proper  for the full list of cookies and links. Cheers, friends!                                     I love that the holiday season brings a little bit of magic to the end of the year and often makes us feel more generous to our fellow humans. There are few things that give me the holiday feels like giving or receiving a tin of homemade Christmas cookies or treats. I love that so many families have cookie baking ...
