The apricots this year have been extra-juicy and sweet, making them the perfect fruits to turn into a sweet cake for brunch or dessert. I’ve been buying buckets and buckets of apricots since they are one of Gabriel’s favorite fruits and have been turning them

Sleep deprivation is really tough. So tough, but worth every lost second of sleep when I see our beautiful Gabriel smile and grow by the minute. If you believe that a baby sleeping a long 6-hour stretch at night qualifies as “sleeping through the night”,

Dearest readers, I have not forgotten about you, I promise. I know I haven’t been posting regularly, but I’ve been busy cooking freezer-friendly meals to heat up when the baby arrives, most of which I’ve also been photographing to publish on the blog. So now I have plenty of recipes to share with you for the next couple of weeks…and many blog posts to write and schedule for the first couple of weeks with our baby at home. I’m due any day now, and Savormania will keep me busy while we impatiently wait for our baby to be born. He seems in no hurry and so happy kicking around in my belly.

There are a zillion ways to make a good carrot soup, but this one is by far my favorite. I still love my easy carrot parsley soup, but some nights I just crave something more exotic; especially when the weather starts getting really cold (like right now!). There’s something about coconut milk and lemongrass that makes me nostalgic about summers on the beach in Thailand, soaking up the sun while indulging in delicious food. Maybe that’s why I love this asian carrot soup; it makes me feel like summer is right around the corner when it’s still months away. Who wouldn’t want a spoon of that!?

I can’t stop eating these muffins. I’ve had…four…in no longer than 24 hours. And it’s not only because I have such a sweet tooth, but most of all because they’re just that good. Moist, buttery, oozing with raspberry juices and smelling like delicious coconut, they’re some

At the end of July, I started a new “Best Of” series on the blog called Snapshots to share everything we’ve cooked, loved and tried during the past month. At the end of Snapshots from July 2015, I stated that one of my goals for the month of
