The 4th of July is just around the corner, and while most people are firing up their grills, I always enjoy a little slow-cooking on the 4th. Get something going in the morning, let it cook for a few hours, and when people...

I’m going to keep this post short and sweet since there’s still much unpacking to be done and I’m caught up in a seemingly never-ending battle between myself and the beginnings of a blackberry bramble that I’m trying to clear out of the single...

We are slowly but sure moving everything into the new place bit by bit, and this Saturday I’m going to venture out into the garden with a rototiller and finally get my tomatoes in the ground. Really hoping it won’t be too late to...

    You may remember a few weeks back when I thought I had a cold that was actually strep throat, which became apparent during a weekend away on a shoot. I never really said what the shoot was for, but I was going...

  This final Thailand post has taken me a while to put together, I’d wanted to put it up a month ago but with all the photos to go through and the house hunting process in full swing, this post kept falling by the...

It’s starting to heat up again around these parts, and by that I mean it was already 95 degrees by 9:30 am yesterday morning and I wanted to throw myself in a freezer. Yes, the Los Angeles summer is already beginning to pour its...

Before I dive into this orange almond cake, I have something else to share with you. I’ve been planning this for a while and have wanted to share it with you for so long, but had to hold my tongue until everything came together....
