Lemon Poppyseed Butter Sandwich Cookies
These lemon poppyseed butter sandwich cookies, that I decided to make entirely from scratch during the week I was taking on a new client, prepping to host Easter brunch with my family, and still working really hard to be good at my day job, were the perfect example of me underestimating the time it would take to make them. However, it was important to me to make them for two reasons: one of my best friends in the entire world is pregnant and was craving them, and they were so beautiful and springy I just had to create them.
Spinach and Artichoke Chicken with Goat Cheese
Food has been a really fantastic way to help me feel I “consume” more of the things that I love: of travel, of history, of cultures outside of my own, and of learning.

I am so dang excited for what comes next.

I often think about what I would do if I could go back to my 18 year old self, who was dead set on going to medical school or researching cancer cures in a fancy lab somewhere. While I don’t believe in living with regrets, I do often wonder if I ever would have had it...
Thymes Are Beginning
I felt I had become a walking paradox; someone so full of ambition and praised by my friends and family for the hosting and cooking and event planning I was capable of, yet I would cringe and lose every shred of motivation when someone would tell me, “You should start your own business!” Until recently, a close friend didn’t tell me to start a business, or to change my career.
