Everybody seems to be baking with all their extra time on their hands these days. I’ve seen lots of photos of dough rising and freshly baked sourdough. Inspired by all the amateur home bakers out there, I got the urge to bake something sweet and special too. This scone recipe is basically the same as…

Autumn Farro Salad
I’m trying to work out the best spot for photos in our new apartment, so bear with me in the meantime. I didn’t appreciate what a perfect spot I had in the old apartment until I was desperately trying dozens of lighting/background combinations in the new one. Because, let’s face it, it’s all about the…
Warm Squash Quinoa Salad
I feel like I haven’t cooked anything the whole month of December. I know that isn’t true, but it feels like we haven’t had a “normal” meal in a long time. It feels good to start to get back to the routine and eat our familiar and healthy homemade dinners again. This warm quinoa salad…

It would be delicious paired with dark greens, roasted potatoes, and flaky biscuits for a full meal that excites all the taste buds! I used canned beets but…
Pumpkin Risotto
It’s October. You know what that means… Pumpkin EVERYTHING! I’ve decided to embrace it and get in the spirit, so here is my contribution to the already booming pumpkin industry: pumpkin risotto. It makes something that’s creamy even creamier, and it pairs very nicely with the dried rosemary flavor and some cranberry sauce on the…
