The almost constant sunshine this winter has been a delight. It’s resulted in both good moods and good light for food photography. You’ll see that it’s been a delicious winter with lots of snowy trail walks, too.

The bathroom remodel was a big deal + we just love it.

A Saturday walk on a new trail.

Marble rye + slow-cooker corned beef + kale slaw

Megan and I ate at the Katoi food truck during her #veganphase. Thai fried chicken for one!

Selden Standard has the friendliest staff + beautiful, delicious food.

Sometimes a girl just needs some frozen yogurt right after work.

Buddy’s Detroit-style pizza is my favorite when I’m in the mood for deep-dish.

These vegan peanut butter + cacao nib granola bars have come in handy for busy mornings.

 Sushi night on a bright red-orange table.

This pork tenderloin schnitzel is the best kind of comfort food.

We accidentally went walking during the biggest blizzard of the year. Still pretty!

Snow day pancakes with blood orange segments.

Heart pizza because I could.

The color of that juice!

We try out different trails each time.

My Whisky Valentine is made with blood orange glaze + whisky + bar staples

 Loved Amelia’s book. Can’t wait to go back and mark the recipes I want to make.

We found a new pizza spot and I got really excited about their neon pizza sign.

I made pickled jalapeños for an upcoming recipe. Stay tuned!

Megan invited me to her Valentine’s Brunch + it was perfect.

Another new restaurant discovery, Brown Iron Brewhouse, and a delicious salmon sandwich.

Paczki Day! My favorite had the creamy lime curd filling and raspberry glaze from Home Bakery.
