It’s finally the weekend so we can all sit back and take a deep breath. As a person who always goes full steam ahead, I appreciate these little breaks. Oftentimes we feel this impulse to keep working before we realize that we are way past our limit. Rest is necessary too, friends. Today, I’m cozying […]

Champagne Tossed Pear Salad with Chevre
You might be wondering, “this sounds extra fancy, Cara”. Really? Greens tossed in champagne? But hear me out. First and foremost, there was extra champagne lying about in the fridge from New Years (bubbles ultimately spent by now) and greatly wanted to be used up. Second, that the subtle citrus and fruity flavor from champagne […]
Salty Maple Asian Pear Galette
Hey there! How was your week? The weather has been pretty cool lately and I’ve been really enjoying it. Any excuse to wear a sweater just makes me happy. My family received a crazy amount of asian pears recently and I’ve been trying to sneak it in wherever I can. Hence, this AWEMAZING salty maple […]
Ginger Cookie Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches
Currently typing up this post with one hand since I accidentally burnt my other one pouring boiling water. I know. Silly me!

Horchata Overnight Oats with Guimaras Mangoes

With yesterday’s Halloween and today’s howling winds, the spooky factor is definitely still on. It’s comforting to be inside all bundled up with blankets and family and […]
Harvest Apple Salad with Cinnamon Walnut Clusters and Shaved Pecorino
Sweater weather has finally arrived. There hasn’t been a day without some rain even if it’s just a light shower (much to my brother’s dismay). He’s in charge of hanging the laundry on our tiny clothesline outdoors so every time rain arrives my dad gives a loud call announcing that “it’s raining!” which causes my […]
Banana Brioche Babka with Chocolate Hazelnut
Hi there! I’ve been in a pensive mood lately and not sure exactly why. I just came from watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix and it really opens your eyes to the way values have changed over the years. It’s even more alarming when you realize that you see and experience these changes all around […]
