National Kolache Day starts right here in Houston.
National Kolache Day will celebrate this often-overlooked pastry on March 1, but more importantly, it will pay homage to the Czech immigrants that introduced the United States to the pastry. Texans were introduced to the kolache when tens of thousands of Czech immigrants came through the port of Galveston in the 1850s through the early 1900s. “Once I realized that National Kolache Day didn’t […]

Paris is always a good idea, and Rise n°2 in Houston is worth the visit. It’s a good idea. I was invited to Rise to try out a few of their dishes, and I made it a brunch date with my BFF. This was a really fun way to spend time with a friend, and experience […]

Why I’m actually okay with Instagram’s New Algorithm
I think everyone, big and small creators, has been griping about this for the past couple weeks. Instagram seemingly making it more difficult to for us to get our content seen. They’re only sharing it with 10% of our audience to figure out if people really like it. They’re not considering chronological posts so we […]

All of me, loves…all of this wine: LVE Collection Wines by John Legend Review.
When I heard John Legend had a wine, I was both intrigued and excited. John is one of my favorite musicians, and his wife Chrissy is one of the best people on all of the internet. I was really hoping that this wine would be one I wanted over, and over again, and I wasn’t […]

Taking spinach and artichoke to a new level.
Insecure.
For as long as I can remember – probably my whole life, I have been insecure. Too fat. Too short. Too dark. Too awkward. Too little. Too much. Too passionate. Too quiet. Too..whatever. Most of my insecurity comes from my weight. It has fluctuated for as long as I can remember. I’m on the bigger […]
How to: Homemade Apple Cider
It hasn’t been totally cold outside this winter (aside from the Houston Snow Day), so warm drinks haven’t come into my rotation much. For the longest time, though, I wanted to learn to do homemade apple cider, and I got the chance with a fantastic variety of apples. I was gifted a box of these […]
Creating a Perfect Coffee Bar
2017 has been a pretty tough year, with a lot of ups and downs, but since we moved, I’ve been focusing in on one room at a time to spruce up. We majorly downsized our apartment to move to the city (like, by half), and while it’s been a great experience getting to live closer […]
VLOGMAS!
I started my foray into blogging last year and did really well until I just quit in October. I didn’t think my life had anything interesting going on, and I honestly couldn’t keep up with creating video content. I really want to start vlogging (in addition to my blog) in 2018, and I’m already working […]
How diabetics survive holiday dinners
The holidays are the hardest on my A1C. There are so many sweets, carbs, high-calorie food spreads, and indulgences, that my insulin pen is in overdrive, and I’m constantly testing my blood sugar to make sure I’m staying within range. It has been a roller coaster ride, but I’ve learned how diabetics survive holiday meals, […]
Making Sufganiyot
I’ve been pretty obsessed lately with trying out pastry recipes and making them a little more friendly for folks like me who have to be cognizant of their blood sugar. Pastries, especially sweet ones are synonymous with carbohydrates (the pesky nutrient that causes spikes in your blood sugar). I really like making doughnuts (they’re one […]
