A few months ago I was approached to cater a kid’s tea party. From the moment I got the call, ideas flooded me with sprinkle everything! I had been eyeing something called Fairy Bread for quite some time and now was my chance to make it. Not to mention these fruit kabobs have been bookmarked … Continue reading The Tiny Tea Party
Fairy Marshmallows
I have to be honest. I was scrolling through instagram (my usual thing) and was really inspired by a picture of rainbow marshmallows. I was busy so I put my phone down and forgot about them. Two days later, I couldn’t stop thinking about these marshmallows and how pretty they were. I searched for an hour … Continue reading Fairy Marshmallows

The Best Latkes
I always look forward to this time of year. The weather is cold (sometimes in Houston) and we get to eat yummy fried potato cakes, latkes. My whole family gets together and we throw a Hanukkah party with presents, gelt (chocolate coins), dreidels and best of all, latkes! I have a confession: I’ve never made … Continue reading The Best Latkes
Gingerbread Cookies
There’s nothing like the taste of fresh and spicy gingerbread men (and women) during the holiday season. As I was making these little people, I couldn’t help but think of the scene from Shrek. Not the gumdrop buttons! haha While in pastry school my teacher introduced us to speculoos cookies for the holidays. Now, they’re … Continue reading Gingerbread Cookies

My weakness is watching the home makeover shows on HGTV so I’ll assume you love them too! My husband and I recently moved into our first … Continue reading My Kitchen Re-do
Sriracha Caramel Brussel Sprouts
There’s a restaurant in Houston and Austin (Texas) called Uchi and they make the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. Back when these babies were all the rage, yes, I’m a little late, many restaurants tried to duplicate this recipe. Some were successful and some put a slight spin on them. Those of you … Continue reading Sriracha Caramel Brussel Sprouts

Mozzarella Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes
I really enjoy a good food challenge. I was asked to create a dish for a family of 4 for under $10. The only way I could do this was by shopping at ALDI. They have very affordable produce that allowed me to conquer this challenge. They also don’t provide shopping bags which is perfect … Continue reading Mozzarella Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes
Apple Honey Cake
Fall has arrived and I’ve neglected my blog :(. Though I do post often on instagram so you can catch me there. The summer was pretty busy and I got to visit really great places and I’ll share that in another post. In Houston, one day it’s 100 degrees and humid and the next it’s … Continue reading Apple Honey Cake
