I went back to Los Angeles for a quick visit a few weeks ago. I spare my parents from picking me up at the airport, and I still have my house key on my ring, so I came back home to not much fanfare save for my dad in the kitchen meticulously kneading together a…
Hello friends and welcome to your Sunday! I’m keeping it short this week since it’s been a long week and I’ve promised to live a life off of the computer this weekend. I hope this finds you happy and well, with a good amount of time for yourself today (if you’re into that sort of…
I did it again. I bought bananas with great hopes of probably smoothies and healthy afternoon snacks and here we are – where we always end up – at banana bread. Honestly it’s what we deserve and where we belong so why fight it? Today’s recipe offering is a must-make. While I think everything I…
Hello friends! Happy Sunday! I feel like everyone is talking about Paris Hilton’s lasagna… but, I’m not. This weekend we hosted our first Bakehouse workshop of the year and it feels good to fill this space with people again. It’s always fun and a little rowdy and I wouldn’t like it any other way. I…

Hello sweet friends! Can you believe? Can you believe we’re settling into another year and another decade? Feels good. Feels very much like a privilege. I’ve been taking it slow and steady through this holiday season. Taking time to be reflective. Taking time to have important conversations that I might have let fall to the…
Hello my dears! Are you enjoying this extended slow space between Christmas and the new year? It feels like a luxurious amount of space. Enough time to stretch and be lazy. Enough time to put off taking down the Christmas tree. Enough time for me to figure out how to incorporate the oranges I handmade…
Hello friends! I just realized this is the last Let It Be Sunday of the year! It’s actually the last Let It Be Sunday of the decade. Honestly that’s far too much pressure to acknowledge further. I’m not ready to sum of the year, let alone the decade. What is wild is that I’ve been…
