Have you ever been consumed by the desire to eat a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie, but don't feel like going through the effort of making a whole batch? You just ate dinner, you're hankering for something sweet, and your brain goes to chocolate chip cookies. And then your brain won't let go of th
Welcome to my 4th annual list of my favorite (new to me) podcasts . Over the last few years, my podcast choices have shifted away from food and more into politics and news. If you read my End of 2017 Wrap-Up post , then you know that 2017 was a rough year for me, and a lot of that had to do with w
To finish out our two-week European trip back in September, we spent a short amount of time in both Amsterdam and Bruges. We had two nights in each city, and really only about a day and a half total with each one. We probably could have used a little more time in Amsterdam, but Bruges we were able t
Hi, friends. Let's catch up. 2017 was a YEAR, am I right? As we neared the end of 2016 and I was doing my super-planning for the blog, I made a conscious decision to slow down in 2017. It turns out that maintaining an illustrated food blog as a "side hustle" while being employed full time,
My friends and I hosted our fourth annual Feast of St. Pizza event back in May (almost a year ago), which has become a major yearly event. (In fact, I'm in the thick of planning this year's feast.) If you've been following along you know that the first year was in Lebanon, PA (my hometown and curr
It's one of my favorite weeks of the year - Margarita Week ! This beautiful internet creation is hosted by Kate from Hola Jalapeño . (Thanks, Kate!) Last year I shared a guava margarita , and I've got a new fruity one to share with you today. Over the last few years I've discovered that my two
Welcome to the 4th annual Virtual Pumpkin Party! If you're not familiar, this party is a day in October where a bunch of food bloggers (about 60 this year) band together to shower the internet with a ton of new and exciting pumpkin recipes. If you thought pumpkins were just for pie and PSLs - think
After 5 years of planning the Feast of St. Pizza in various cities (I'm currently in the planning process for year 5), I've become a bit of an expert on planning pizza crawls. And, since I love to spread the pizza love, I want to share my secrets with all of you. My original intention was to tack
Welcome to Part Two of my European travel recap! Part One featured the London portion of our trip . If you read that one, then you know our friends Niall and Loren came to spend the last day in London with us. The next part of our journey was to go back to Wales with them to Niall's house, and
Hello again! It's been a while. I've been spending time this spring and summer doing some back-end work on the blog, a little freelance work, relaxing, working on small projects around the house, etc. I'm back with a post I've been meaning to share for a long time now. I want to talk about three thi
I used to always believe that when it comes to baking, bigger = better. If I'm taking the time to bake something, I want a lot of it. That way I can share it with friends, take it into work, feed a party, etc. While that line of thinking has its place (and I live by it often), a new book has changed
It's an exciting day because I finally get to tell you what I've been working on ... I HAVE A PODCAST! It's called Passports & Pizza and I'm co-hosting it with my friend Laura of the travel blog Roam + Golightly . Our tagline is "a podcast about everything by two carb-loving,
Welcome to the 3rd annual Virtual Pumpkin Party! It's that special time of year when everyone goes crazy for pumpkin, so a bunch of food bloggers have joined me in running with that theme - over 75 bloggers from across the globe are sharing pumpkin recipes today. We've got everything from cocktails
I'm back! After the craziness of our recent move (we bought a house ... ah!) and a family vacation, it feels good to finally have my computer set up at my desk in the new house and to be working on this blog again. I have been wanting to tell you guys about this recipe for SO LONG. It's from the n
If you follow along on Instagram , then you're probably well aware that Robert and I spent two weeks in Europe at the beginning of September. (We had a hashtag for our trip - #wanderingcorneliuses - if you'd like to check out all of the photos together.) The whole trip came about because Robert
As I was perfecting the recipe for my single serving (vegan) chocolate chip cookie , I hit a point where I realized, "This is so good, it would be amazing if I could make a whole batch of cookies like this." It was a bit of a lightbulb moment: now that I had successfully engineered a si
If you're new to the Feast of St. Pizza, I suggest going back to check out the posts from year one ( Lebanon, PA ) and year two ( Philadelphia ). To quickly fill you in, the Feast of St. Pizza is an event I adopted from these guys after hearing about it on a podcast . The first year I kept it in
Robert and I had the pleasure of visiting Germany (and Austria) back in March of this year. While it hadn't been on our short list of places to visit, the opportunity arose due to a work trip for Robert and we took it. I am SO GLAD we did. We absolutely loved Germany. I'm not sure if it's my German
Earlier this week I shared a recap post about my visit to NYC with Robert , Kelsey and Abby . One of the places we visited that quickly rose to the top of our favorites list was Butter and Scotch , a bar and bakery in Brooklyn. Abby, Kelsey and I were all in heaven at that place. It was so fu
If you've spent any time on this blog you know that I LOVE COOKBOOKS . They bring me endless amounts of joy - I love to hold them, flip through them, read them from cover to cover, and try out as many recipes from them as I can manage (which is often way less than I would like). This year there wer
