  • Hello darlings! We are in Italy, which you probably – if you follow me on Instagram – already know. The boys and I arrived a week ago. It has been filthy hot and we have been doing the usual things: going to the beach, attempting to play badminton in the shade without collapsing from heat…

  • I have been feeling a little…fragile as of late. For example, this obituary made me cry. This book that I finished last night left me with the most sickening case of existential dread.

  •   Beep. Boop. Hello. I thought maybe you could use a panful of brownies today. Couldn't we all?   I have been looking forward to telling you about these brownies. For a very long time, I am more than chagrined to admit, I couldn't quite grasp the concept of tahini in baked goods. Tahini, in…

  • I know that there is nothing more tedious than reading about other people's special diets, but I'm going to be posting about gluten-free baking more frequently here and I would like to explain the shift.
