Hearty Potato Lentil Soup

I know it’s probably so strange that I made a hearty soup mid summer, but I have good reason, honest! I came down with something last week and it pretty much put me on bed rest the entire week. My husband was in town and he took such good care […]

Hugo: Prosecco & Elderflower Aperitif

I’m telling you…try this drink! My husband and I spent a month in Europe visiting family, travelling, enjoying all the wonders, and along the way we discovered this delicious work of art. Our amazing friends in Vienna made this one night after a long day of sightseeing and I can’t […]


Sponge Cake with Lemon Zest Cream Cheese Frosting

Oh sweet sponge cake how I love you. You’re so light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Thank you for being so good even without butter or oil! My husband ate this cake in pretty much a matter of 24 hours. My mom and I had one slice each and that […]

Mixed Veggie Salad

Today was a reggae kind of day. I always seem to listen to it when summer is approaching. In six weeks my husband and I will be heading to Europe for a month and we’re so excited!!! I can’t wait to see the look on his face when we visit […]

Pasta Primavera 2

I really love how I feel now that I don’t eat meat anymore. I’ve been wanting to cut it out of my diet for a long time and after watching numerous documentaries and reading a ton of articles about the amount of hormones that animals are injected with I decided […]


Mediterranean Potato Salad

We had some rain in California yesterday! Woohoo!!! April brought some showers just like the saying goes.  My garden received a gift from mother nature, I ate some fresh and delicious potato salad, and I got to snuggle up with my pup and watch movies. Good day! My mom would […]
