5 Ways to Customize Off-The-Shelf Wedding Invitations
One of the biggest challenges of our wedding planning process was getting our invitations made and out the door. For some couples, printed details might be the least of their worries (these days it’s not uncommon forgo tradition and send out a digital invitation altogether) but for us (ehem, for me), these elements were a […]

Raspberry & Ricotta Crêpes with Fresh Berries
I’ll never forget my first crêpe: it was sophomore year, and my high school French teacher, Ms. Baysinger, brought a burner to class and taught us how to make the the classic version that we stuffed full of nutella and whipped cream. I remember feeling so sophisticated as I swirled the batter in the pan, yielding […]
Your Foolproof Guide to Making Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
We’re fine with forgoing many of the Valentine’s clichés, but the one tradition that never goes out of style is indulging in a chocolate-covered strawberry (or 5) every season. There’s just something about the sweet and decadent combination of fresh strawberries and rich chocolate that sparks a little romance, plus, fruit is healthy, right? Since many store-bought […]

For this party, we teamed up […]
Skip The Spa With These Valentine’s Day Bath Bombs
This year, Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday. Talk about inconvenient! After spending all day at work, the last thing we want to do is get all gussied up and go out to dinner with our beaus at an overcrowded restaurant. So this year, we’re staying in. A home cooked meal, a refreshing bottle of champagne, […]
Chocolate Espresso and Raspberry Swirl Meringues To Wow Your Valentine
Let’s just say that my first attempt at meringues was less-than-perfect (blaming it on Camille’s malfunctioning oven.) The bright side? Apart from making s’mores by sandwiching our burnt meringues between graham crackers, it also allowed me more opportunity to practice getting these just perfect. Turns out, consistency and oven temperature are key ingredients for these to look as good as […]

Jam-Filled Gluten-Free Muffins
These muffins took a few tries to get just perfect because, well, gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. I wanted these to be worthy of Valentine’s Day breakfast, which means that they needed to taste moist and sweet and more indulgent than they actually are. And finally, after a few tries that didn’t […]
