Blackberry Lemon Cake with Vanilla Buttercream

This cake was a lot. I haven’t baked a 4-layer cake from scratch in years. Like seriously…it has been about 4 years. I tend to go for cupcakes because they are much easier, less time consuming, easier to eat, etc. But I had a hankering to make a cake so I whipped up this deliciousContinue reading “Blackberry Lemon Cake with Vanilla Buttercream”

It pairs perfectlyContinue reading “Salmon with Asparagus and Lemon Dill Cream Sauce”

How fun is this recipe? I mean just look at those layers!

This is a super fun way to eat sushi that isn’t as challenging as rollingContinue reading “Sushi Stacks”

Ellenos Greek Yogurt

For the amount of Ellenos Yogurt I eat, I surprisingly have very few photos of it. They have two locations that serve it up fresh on the spot – Pike Place and Georgetown – and these locations offer flavors that you cannot find in stores. Their yogurt is the real deal. It is so creamyContinue reading “Ellenos Greek Yogurt”
