I’m a sucker for beets. Roasted cubes, shredded raw, whatever way you’re serving them, I’ll have seconds. Maybe even thirds. While many people dislike beets (why?!), I’m convinced this silky, rich, and earthy Beet Risotto with Goat Cheese, Honey & Truffle Oil will convert all the beet-haters in the world. You’re probably wondering how I developed this…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Cake
This peanut butter chocolate pretzel cake holds special significance to me and it’s only made once a year for a special person. Let me tell you why. I’m terrible at remembering birthdays. Honestly, I’ve been mixing up my sister and dad’s birthdays for the longest time until I finally put it in my calendar last year as…
Coconut Almond Mazto Crack
Before we get to our Coconut Almond Mazto Crack, let me tell you how I gained 15 pounds the winter of my sophomore year in college. Firstly, it was cold. Much colder than the 60 degree winters of Southern California that I had grown used to. I didn’t want to do anything except eat Banana Bread…
Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread
The holiday season is upon us in full swing! That mean parties galore: work functions, festive friend gathering, and family reunions.

Pumpkin Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake
It’s a pretty well known fact that I love watching food shows and I can say I’ve watched them all, at least for one episode. But one of the most interesting shows I’d never had the chance to watch was the Great British Bake Off. I’d put it off as something I would just have to live…

Fig, Almond, & Honey Cake
I’ve only recently started eating fresh figs. Even as a kid, I never liked Fig Newtons; I thought they were a poor excuse for a cookie. “Maybe you tried them college?” you think. You’re not far off. I had hummus, kale, and Indian food for the first time college, so why not figs? Well, I’ll tell you why….
Grilled Pizza, Sriracha Pineapple, & Honeyed Peaches
Did you catch all that in the title? Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff, but the recipes for these are so easy, you don’t even need a recipe. Don’t be scared off by the post title, the name of the dish is all you really need! Grilled Pizza, Sriracha Pineapple, & Honeyed Peaches are as simple as…
Rosewater, Pistachio, & Sweet Cream Ice Cream
Nothing says summer quite like ice cream. And this is the first summer where I’ve had my very own ice cream maker! None of these delicious dairy treats would be possible without the help of my wonderful friend, Matt Lanter, who so sweetly gifted me one! We briefly chatted about how there were so many attachments…
