Socca Pizza with Pesto (Gluten Free)
Pizza! Pizza! PIZZZAAAA!!!! Who doesn't love some pizza?!? This pizza isn't just any pizza. It's socca pizza!!!! If you remember about a year ago, I shared a recipe for rosemary socca.

It's the perfect blank canvas for an array of toppings. Similar to an artisan pizza. Best part: there is no … [Read more...]

I Survived the Derecho Land Hurricane 2020, In Cedar Rapids
Something big happened on Monday August 10th, 2020. Something that turned, what we thought would be a perfectly normal Monday, upside down. Something I never thought I would experience in my lifetime, especially living in the Midwest. It's something that you may, or may not have heard about, but I think you should know about it. Not just because it upended a city with the population of 130,000+ people. Not just because many of those people have been without power for over a week now. And not … [Read more...]

Spicy Strawberry Cocktail
The title of this post was almost "devil in her heart". The tittle of a Beatles song and also the name of this drink that I had at a restaurant here in town.

For anyone who love that spicy sweet combo/fruity drinks this one is for you! Fruity strawberries make this drink the perfect cocktail for you to sip on all summer long! It … [Read more...]
Soft Matcha Blueberry Cookies (Gluten Free)
These matcha blueberry cookies took several forms before they were cookies. First they started out as muffins, three times to be exact - but the color wasn't right, instead of a beautiful green matcha color the muffins were the color of mud. Next, the muffins turned into bread, which was also the color of mud. Finally the bread turned into cookies because cookies take the least amount of time to bake preserving the color. And thus are the beautiful green matcha blueberry cookies you see before … [Read more...]

“The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.” – Hilary Stanton Zunin This post is hard to write, and to be honest I don't know how much of my personal life I should share - but it didn't feel right to go on pretending that nothing has changed in my life since my last post and go on talking about food without sharing my true feelings. Plus, as a writer this is how I have always processed … [Read more...]
