Ever pulled some delicious-smelling cupcakes out of your oven with glee, only to find they’ve fallen and they can’t get up? Or seen a cake go from beautiful to concave in a matter of minutes? I usually just pile on the frosting and hope no one notices the droopy center(s), but wouldn’t it be nice […]
***Hi guys, my name is Bri and you can usually find me over at SanBriego.com. I’m happy to share a couple of guest posts with you this month while the lovely Jen is off being a rockstar in Afghanistan!!*** I don’t remember why I signed up for my first half marathon. I think I was […]
What’s more perfect than a margarita? How about a spicy-sweet margarita? I’ve been ordering a lot of spicy cocktails lately, so when I happened upon this peach-jalapeno margarita recipe on Dessert for Two, I definitely wanted to share it. Sadly, I haven’t had time to try it out myself, but doesn’t it sound absolutely delicious? […]

Sometimes, just getting dinner on the table can seem like the world’s biggest challenge. Whether I’m going for a multi-course meal or just a grilled cheese sandwich, cooking usually requires cleaning, rummaging through the pantry and the fridge, following directions, making up my own directions, emptying the dishwasher and clearing off the dinner table.

What do you wear when you’re going on an overnight flight from warm San Diego to not-so-warm London? -> I decided to go with cashmere, black jeans and trainers (as the Brits call them). And, of course, a giant bag to carry all my stuff! I brought several books with me (I’m halfway through […]
When I was planning my Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner menus, I knew I had to have delicious desserts for both… but I didn’t want anything that would require a lot of work. I decided to make a peppermint ice cream cake for Christmas (which was delicious but also a huge mess, so I need […]
You can have your raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. My favorite things run more along the lines of cranberries, green apples, marshmallows and glitter.
