Happy New Year, y’all! *fireworks, drinks, cheers, etc.* Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m sharing a total kitchen experiment turned amazingness with you.

Fig Mille-Feuille
When life gives you figs…. you become obsessed with them and make everything you can possibly think until you can barely bare to look at one again. Since we’re in the middle of fig season, I don’t feel as badly for flooding your feeds with all of the resulting recipes in the upcoming weeks. While…
Bitter Bit Beautiful Grapefruit Cocktail
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IZZE. All opinions are 100% mine. I made a discovery this summer. It’s pretty much one of the best discoveries that I’ve ever made. Since I’m an adult now, and adults have these things called jobs; Jobs can sometimes leave you a tiiiiny bit…
Blueberry Cake Donuts
This is where I should start with some lovely story about how I went and picked blueberries on an organic farm just outside of busy Nashville one morning, carrying them home in a little wicker basket to toss them together with some other things to end up with the most perfect little homemade donuts ever.

Strawberry Almond Dutch Baby
A pancake, a crêpe, and a hot skillet walk into a bar…. I spotted the trio, and ate them all. *dances* — But, seriouly. A Dutch baby is a beautiful thing. That’s saying something, since most all babies aren’t really much to look at. This is the fat baby with sugar all over its face…
Dragon Fruit Mojito
Do you ever go out to a restaurant or event and try a dish or drink that you just have to recreate at home? I find myself in that situation pretty often. It’s a great excuse to have an extra nightcap. You kn0w… for research sake. After tasting a unique margarita while browsing around Nashville in…
