happy one year of eating, making & reading!

Oh boy! I’m so excited to say that this blog turns one today. A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined how much this little outlet would become such a fun and important piece of my life. It’s given me the drive to try foods I never would have thought to eat, to think about where my food comes from and to make new things every week.

In celebration, I thought we could all enjoy an early happy hour that includes one of my favorite flavors, ginger. My friend Sarah mentioned that she’s been mixing the ginger liqueur Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur with Champagne and I thought that would be the perfect beverage celebrate one year. So here’s to you! Thank you so much for being part of this past year… I can’t wait to see what comes in the next.
