Chocolate Olive Oil Cake

If you haven’t seen my olive oil cake I made over summer - check it out here. It became a hit very fast - it went viral on Tiktok, Instagram & Pinterest. Thank you to the Kardashians for making the Olive Oil Cake a HIT! It’s my favorite cake - I am not a huge frosting person so the cake is the perfect, fluffy, refreshing treat. I have been wanting to try a chocolate version - so I tried to have the same recipe with minor modifications. It turned out SO good. Tom ate majority of it (he loves chocolate). I did not make frosting for this one, but I think I might next time to make it gooey.

Sugar Plum Spritz

I love finding holiday items at Trader Joes and when I saw their “Sugar Plum Beverage” I knew I had to buy it and use it in a cocktail. It’s not very sweet — so this cocktail is very refreshing and be be made with or without the simple syrup.

Final Cut Indiana, PA Review

Me and my friend Sayeh saw a Tik-Tok go viral about a store in Pennsylvania called “Final Cut”. It’s a warehouse sale for URBN - the company that owns Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters & Free people. I knew about the Final Cut Augusta store when I lived in Georgia, but I never went (*biggest regret).

Kardashian Olive Oil Cake

I’m sure you have seen the news about the famous olive oil cake from Little House Confections in LA all over Instagram, but if you not: read about it here! I love baking, I love cakes, I love the Kardashians. When I saw all of the Kardashians posting about this famous olive oil cake, I got serious FOMO because I don’t live in LA and cannot get a cake delivered.

My Famous Banana Bread

I do not remember when I decided to start making banana bread as a kid - but it’s now become my “thing”. Family and friends always save bananas for me in their fridge so that I can make them banana bread when I come visit.

GF/DF Lemon Pasta & Tuscan Grilled Chicken

Since I cannot make it to Capri every time I want some lemon pasta… I decided to figure out how to make some yummy pasta myself. I made this recipe gluten & dairy free but if that’s not your thing you can sub regular pasta in and heavy cream instead of almond milk.
