True story: a few weeks ago I was visiting Alyssa and her mom for a delicious homemade dinner when Alyssa told me to help myself to the Blood Orange and Rosemary simple syrup in the fridge. Who has delicious simple syrup just hanging out, ready for visitors? Alyssa, that’s who. The syrup was so
Chocolate Peppermint Coffee (Buenos Aires Submarino Style!)
This post was created in partnership with Ninja Coffee Bar® System. I received complimentary product to facilitate my review, but all opinions within are my own. When Alyssa and I were in Buenos Aires earlier this year, I could not get enough of their version of hot chocolate. Instead of a pre-mixed version, each order came
Spiced Honey and Citrus Cocktails with #MixedWithTrop
One of the highlights of my very first grad school semester was my friend Will’s homemade Krupnik. We finished an accounting exam that no one was looking forward to at all and he pulled out a bottle of sweet, homemade liqueur.

Sparkling Pomegranate Ginger Cocktail
We used to host some EPIC dinner parties in Tokyo. I’m talking about six-course meals, hours of playing Heads Up and Cards Against Humanity, and people heading home at four am. One of my favorite rules of entertaining is to have a signature cocktail that sets the tone for the dinner you’re about to serve. Pair
Braised Green Olive Chicken
Recently, Alyssa shared her yakitori recipe and spoke about New Comfort Food– a campaign launched by Foster Farms to share how comfort food has evolved over time. And now it’s my turn! My sisters and I often reminisce about the dishes my mom used to make for us when we were younger. There was the oatmeal
