I thought I was safe making ice cream because Pittsburgh has had some uncharacteristically warm weather these past few weeks.
However as I’m writing this, the last of the snow is melting off of the roof.
Ooooh well. Ice cream tastes just as good in cold weather as it does in warm, right?!

Happy Monday, friends! It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?!
It’s beautiful because it is April. And I’m super excited about this month because it’s the month of Mark’s and my 1 year anniversary! A lot has happened this year: we moved in together, we got a kitten, we ate copious amounts of Mexican food. But even after a year, some of my favorite nights with Mark are our Date Nights In. We’ll cook an awesome meal, get the wine flowin’, and create a cute little picnic in our apartment by the windows.
We’re naturally introverted and the let’s stay inside in our comfy clothes so we don’t have to talk to anyone type, so these Date Nights In are seriously perfect. And getting to spend them with my guy doesn’t hurt either. ?Read More
I was so excited for this post! I had this incredible 20-minute meal that Mark and I adore locked and loaded for you today, but once I looked at the pictures…
…well, I knew no one would make it based on what the pictures looked like.
So you’re getting cookies today!
(I’d say that’s a fair compromise, no?)Read More
Guys guys guys!! I’m no longer a smoothie bowl virgin!!
It’s CRAZY to me to think that it has taken me this long to make myself a smoothie bowl, but I get it. Smoothies aren’t really my thing.
Is that a sacrilegious thing to say as a food blogger?
Probably.Read More
Hi! Happy Saturday!
I told you I wanted to get a little more personal here on the blog, and I figured I’d start out with something that has been extremely near and dear to my heart lately. It’s something that I wasn’t told enough through college. It’s something that, once I finally figured out, changed my life completely.
Friends, life is too short to not be totally, entirely, wholly, unconditionally, absolutely, completely in love with what you’re doing.Read More

Hey, friends! If you recall, Mark and I brought a little one into our family a couple of months ago.
And by “little one”, I mean a tiny little calico kitten named Maya.
At times, it feels like we’re living with two completely different cats. Sometimes we’ll have calm, sweet Maya, who stretches out against our leg, turns on her back, and lets us scratch her stomach as she gently falls asleep. (This is happening as I’m writing this, and I’m dying)
And other times, we’ll have welts on our hands, bites on our feet, and a cat in “time-out.”Read More

So, I’ve been keeping a secret from you.
I knooow. I’m sorry. Not cool, Alexa. Not cool.Read More
