While I never intended for this blog to be a space for me to share and sort through difficult emotions, it’s funny how much I’ve come to rely on WG as that kind of outlet in a few short years. I’ve never been able to sustain a trusting relationship for more than a few months, yet here I am pouring out my soul to hundreds and thousands of readers whom I have never met–many of whom will never meet me. I have always loved writing, and writing about these issues offers relief and newfound clarity, more often and not in … Read more

“Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But because I knew you…I have been changed for good.” – For Good, Wicked
Every once in a while, you meet someone special who changes you–for better or for worse, but without a doubt: for good.

The old cliche goes that if you really love something, you should let it … Read more
Peach Crumble Frozen Delight
I always knew that I was a fan of the frozen dessert, but THIS. Two weeks ago this dessert happened and I immediately considered abandoning all of my life’s responsibilities & relationships and diving headfirst into a committed romance with this dessert.
Of course, I’m pretty sure I say this exact phrase about once a week, but I really mean it right now. I swear on my entire vintage collection of Disney animated VCR tapes. I mean of course I don’t REALLY because that collection is freakin’ awesome, but still.
The awesome thing about this Peach Crumble Frozen Delight is–well, … Read more
Easy DIY Peanut Butter Honey Greek Yogurt Scoops
Have you ever heard that saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”?
Well, I’ve got a will–so can we pleeeeeease just have a few more weeks of summer? Please?
Not that I have any reason to complain: here in the southern locales, the sun is still beaming and the temperature these days ranges from a svelte high 80s to a sweat-bullet-projecting low 100s…
But then again, who ever needed a REAL reason to gripe anyway? If we all waited for legitimate concerns to crop up before we started moaning and groaning about them, I’d never get to embark on … Read more
Marinated Tempeh + Ube Tacos with Homemade Chipotle Sauce {vegan}
So, guys. Guys.
I think I just told my advisor that I’m a food blogger. Say what?
Yep, it slipped out right in the middle of our last check-in a couple of weeks ago. As if I was Peter Parker revealing my identity to Mary Jane. Or James Bond doing his big giveaway speech. Or Darth Vader unmasking for Luke. Professor sir <huuuuyyyh> I AM your fahhther.
The fact that I’ve finally broken the silence about my blogging alter-ego might not seem like a big deal, but oh, it most definitely is. On the list of Top Things That Are … Read more
WHOA! or, How to Bake Letters into a Cake
Every once in a while, I get to do something really cool and wacky and crazy that makes me feel like a legitimate food blogger (not that we were ever calling that fact into question, but I basically question its legitimacy all the time). Today I’m going to teach you how to bake letters into a cake, though–and I am SO excited to be sharing this fun creation with you guys today!
(I totally apologize in advance for the lack of process photos, by the way: this cake took me 6 hours to test and make–by the time … Read more
Easy Mickey Mouse Waffle Iron Omelettes: Guest Post on Neighbor Food Blog!
Growing up, our house was chock full of Disney paraphernalia: classic Disney VCR tapes here, Ariel candles there, the obligatory Winnie-the-Pooh plushies sitting on top of our piano, right next to my Pochahontas and Lilo & Stitch stuffed collections. In our hallway, there even hung a framed portrait of Mickey Mouse from my mom’s old Disney days that, I later learned, was actually a rather rare reproduction of the same portrait that hung in Walt Disney’s animation office. (Say whaaat?)
Mickey Mouse was such a big part of my childhood, I honestly couldn’t imagine growing up without him and the … Read more

These days, I’d like to sit down for a tete-a-tete with good ol’ Father Time. I don’t know who thought it’d be funny to land us smack dab into the second half of August already (say whaaaaat?), but I sure as heck am not ready for the summer to be over just yet!bet
One big reason is because I haven’t gotten the travel bugs out of my system yet this summer. Between research and work and baking and blogging and … Read more
Friday Wallflavourites: Edition 29
Imho, hands in my food doesn’t usually = food porn: UNLESS you’re the incredibly talented Tieghan from Half-Baked Harvest, in which case….dang, this 30-Minute Korean Stir-Fried Shishito Pepper Rainbow Veggie Noodles looks freakin’ amazing.
As usual, when it comes to Cynthia’s photography, I just want to sink my face through my computer screen. These Fig Rose Parfaits are seriously no exception!
I’m a sucker for cheesecakes–but throw that into an icebox cake, and THEN get an incredible photographer like Kelly on the case and….well, this Strawberry Cheesecake Icebox Cake is a win all around!
I’ve been making s’mores everything … Read more
Twix Millionaire Bars for a Virtual Baby Shower!
There are three things I am loving right now. The first is surprises! Because who doesn’t love a good surprise? I know I do.
The second thing is babies. I mean, if you don’t like babies, does that mean you hate puppies and rainbows and unicorns and cupcakes and all things happy and cute, too? Nobody wants to be THAT person. In my mind, it’s safest to just love the cuddly creatures and get on with it <3
The third thing I love is…showers. Don’t get me wrong: the idea of a hot, luxurious bath at the end of a … Read more
