Earlier this summer when Hitchen and I visited Dublin, we went to The Cake Cafe where I had a slice of chocolate Guinness cake. It was one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had – super moist and dense, and not too sweet – and I’ve pretty much been working on this recipe ever since!

This past Friday, I was supposed to attended a short course at Le Cordon Bleu to learn to make choux pastry and eclairs, but unfortunately the class was cancelled at the last minute.

I’m not going to lie, they’re […]

I know I’m a bit of a crazy dog/cat mom (actually, I prefer overly enthusiastic, but whatever), but I can’t be the only one who celebrates their pet’s birthday?! My furries are my family, and I’m pretty sure they enjoy a birthday cake even more than most people I know. I made this dog-friendly cake for […]

Oh hey blog world, I’ve missed you!! Life has been pretty busy lately… Mom and Dad are visiting (hooray!), we spent a couple of weeks exploring the French Riviera, and I’ve been planning a (30th!) birthday bash for my other (better) half. But more on those things later – today I have a recipe to […]
It’s no secret that I love having polished nails. Many years ago, I used to get manicures religiously every two weeks. But besides the fact that it was an expensive habit, I found that, with a little practice, I could easily achieve the same effect at home! Here’s how I apply my polish, so that […]

I’ve always loved tomato soup (I think it reminds me of grilled cheese sandwiches), so when I had a fridge full of tomatoes that needed to be used up, soup was the first thing that came to mind. It’s really simple to make, and takes very little time, making it an ideal weeknight supper!
