The Best Apple Doughnut Recipe

October 29, 2018

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year! And that’s no secret. Besides the gorgeous leaves, cute style options, and fun activities, the food has to be the next best thing. Last year, when I went apple picking with my friends in Rhode Island, we came back with a giant bag of apples and decided to try new recipes. Well, I also left Rhode Island with a slightly less giant bag of apples (we picked A TON) and decided to try more once I got home. The favorite, both on my blog and in ...

December 18, 2017

With Christmas comes baked goods and with just a week away, you’re probably gathering ingredients for cookies galore.

Summer Birthday Guide

June 5, 2017

Today is my mom’s birthday. It’s a milestone birthday so I wanted to do something special over the weekend to celebrate it. Every year, I ask what my mom wants for her birthday or what she wants to do. Every year, she always says nothing or anything or whatever everyone else wants to do. Every year, I’m staring up at my ceiling, wondering what I should get her as a gift and where I should take her for dinner. While scouring the internet for birthday gifts and laying awake ...

(Mother’s Day) Brunch is Always a Good Idea

May 9, 2017

I love brunch and I love planning things and I love my mom. What better way to put all of them to use than a Mother’s Day brunch? Last year, my family came over to celebrate. My cousins and I were running the show from behind the scenes: one taking orders, one running food, and the other acting as my sous chef in the kitchen. And once all the food was out and the drinks were poured, we all sat on our back deck eating, drinking, and laughing. These are my plans for a perfect ...
