Eating Life to its Fullest in San Francisco, CA.

Holiday

A Road Trip Down the California Coast

December 27, 2015

Happy holidays! Hopefully everyone had a relaxing weekend stuffing themselves with food and listening to every Beatles song ever (seriously so stoked that I can stream them now!). Our family doesn’t celebrate Christmas in the traditional sense, so we use this time off to explore the amazing state that is California. Inspired by an article in…

RECIPE: Crushed Candy Cane Brownies

December 15, 2015

A Blogger Dinner: Cooking with The Pancake Princess

December 27, 2013

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week engaging in whatever traditional and/or awkward holiday traditions your family does. I personally loved my excess of Hindi movies and chai, of which three cups a day is the standard, if not a little on the low side. Over the summer, I reunited with Erika, the…
