Happy Thursday, friends!  I’ve been battling a very rude cold this week and, as a result, have watched way too many episodes of the Great British Baking Show on Netflix.  Highly recommend.  Here, your links!

1. Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day!  Not really my thing but I don’t hate a Homemade Shamrock Shake.

9. I can’t remember if I already posted about this, but I’M EXCITED.

I’m trying to process some major feelings this week, because MY KID TURNS ONE on Saturday!  Holy smokes.  Excuse me while I go sob into my cereal.

In the name of distraction, here are your Thursday links!

1. Brown Butter Citrus Madeleines!  Bookmark for weekend baking.
2. Just choosing to ignore this, thanks.

8. This is fun.
9. Yum!
10. This is kinda neat.

We’ve had a few mild and sun-streaked days here that have felt like spring might be on it’s way, although as I write this a chilly drizzle is tapping on my window pane.

Oh, and I bought new glasses this week, because my mom told me that she “doesn’t care for” my current pair.  Happy Thursday links!

1. Grapefruit with Honey & Salt is such a treat this time of year.
2. Really enjoy reading articles from the Anti-Diet Project.

Happy Thursday!

This week saw the release of my second cookbook, and after months of anticipation and one hecka fun launch party, all I want to do now is sleep for maybe like two days?  Or at least sit down for one quiet moment to let out a long and cleansing WHEEEEEW kind of breath.

Wheeeeeew! (I’m glad it’s finally out there, can you tell?)

How about some LINKS, huh?

1. Next week is Valentine’s Day! Maybe we should make these Chocolate Heart Sandwich Cookies with Whipped Espresso Ganache
2. Also, speaking of that holiday, this is all I really want on February 14th.
3. If you’re in Seattle this Friday, maybe come to this event?
4. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry?
5. But like seriously, is this real life?
6. Do you have one of these instant pots?  Do I need one?
7. This looks so fun!  Might have to start getting crafty over here.
8. This is hilarious.
9. Good advice.

Twenty-seventeen!  We are here.  Wasn’t this supposed to be the future?  Because it’s apparently the present.  I am old, basically.  So… happy new year!

And I promise to come at you with more recipes soon!  I know I’ve been away for too long, but spending my time cozying up and enjoying the holidays with my little one has been sooo delicious.  Thanks for sticking with me.
