It has been SO CRAZY BUSY! I have had so much fun this past month making all the little details for my sister’s bridal shower come together. Cleaning, baking, prepping, shopping, decorating, cutting, pasting, coordinating, and basically having the time of my life. And I know it has been 25 days since I have last… Continue reading Parisian Bridal Shower- The Photobooth
More like chicken so-taste-y (get it? get it?)
So the wedding countdown is on and boy, am I stressed! I know, it’s not my wedding. But considering how much I care about it, it might as well be. I mean, this is my big sister we are talking about. She might be a little bit of a loon 😉 but what she wants, I… Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cupcake
Although my progress has slowed way down, I am still feeling pretty upbeat about where I am at. I know what you are thinking, “Maybe you shouldn’t bake so much!” But seriously. I can’t. I love it. Baking makes me feel human. Taking simple, everyday ingredients to create something that makes other people happy. That is… Continue reading Mandarin Orange Cupcakes
It is a Wednesday in May and I am STRUGGLING. If you are in education at all, you know that the closer you get to June, the harder it is to even get out of bed in the morning. Powering through is the only way and that is hard when you are a high school… Continue reading Lemon Bars & Bullet Journaling

How cool would it be if I could successfully grow my own fruit, lettuce, herbs, and tomatoes??? Yes, I know. Very cool. And healthy. Things you grow in dirt… Continue reading Amateur PNW Gardening
Finally! A healthy recipe! It has been a rough couple weeks since returning from Mexico. The whole adjusting to real life/going to work thing was tough, but so was getting back to my healthy eating. I have to admit that there have been one too many cheat days lately. Probably because I have been in… Continue reading Panang Curry
My favorite kind of dessert is one with a surprise element. A flavor or component you don’t see coming. But it is no surprise that a moist chocolate cupcake with a cherry pie baked into the middle with a cinnamon whipped buttercream frosting is INCREDIBLE.
I DID IT! I met my goal for Mexico early while maintaining my sanity and still baking cupcakes. And people are really starting to notice my weight loss. It is funny how true those stupid Pinterest “motivational” posts are. This has definitely been my experience. It only took a few weeks for me to notice my… Continue reading Carrot Cake Cupcakes and 3 month mark
There is a major benefit to having a bff who is Filipino. Lumpia, adobo, and mechado. Yeah, yeah, her personality and her kids are good and nice too. But back to the food. I have been blessed to be taught the “lumpia” quite well. This is what happens when they want to add two working… Continue reading Pressure Cooker Beef Mechado: Filipino Beef Stew
