Remember when I visited LA and got some lunch at Lemonade? Well, I loved how fresh and energizing the food was so much that I bought The Lemonade Cookbook a few days after coming home. I already missed some of…
Vanilla Affogato with Chocolate Syrup
One of my new favorite treats to indulge in is an affogato. For some of you who may not know, an affogato is an Italian coffee drink where you mix ice cream with espresso. Imagine the creamiest coffee you’ve ever…
Fruity Pebbles Doughnuts
Last summer when I visited San Luis Obispo, I ventured to SLO Donut Company which is lovingly called SLODOCO for short. I was greeted by an array of specialty doughnuts of which cereal doughnuts were one of my favorites. I…
Light & Easy Soft Pretzels
I have always been intrigued by pretzels, especially soft pretzels. The soft bread is full of flavor on its own and the flavor is only enhanced when paired with a cheese sauce, mustard, or a sugary glaze. Alas, I set…
Sweet Green Juice Recipe
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit it. This green juice isn’t the most attractive or appetizing to look at, but only because I didn’t add any water to dilute it! This juice blends together quite well just using fruits…

Nutella Cookies
After my Nutella Brownies were such a success (and a big hit!), I wanted to experiment with baking other items with Nutella. After sifting though a few recipes online, I settled on trying out the “Easiest Fudgy Nutella Cookies” over…
Nutella Brownies
One of the best parts of this season happens to be all the good sweet treats we get to eat! Of course in the summer, we gravitate towards cold, refreshing desserts such as ice cream. But as the air becomes…
Insanely Rich Italian Hot Chocolate
Fall is in full swing in the bay area right now. It’s getting dark earlier and the air is much crisper. To combat this weather change, I’ve taken to hot chocolate! While I’m no snob when it comes to hot…
Apple & Brie Sandwich
Summer’s just about over, isn’t it? I’m not ready to ring in autumn just yet so I’ll have to ease into the new season with one of my favorite recipes. It all started with these apples. And actually it all…
