Addie is a recovering Los Angeleno with an unbridled enthusiasm for Diet Coke and a deep love of terrible TV.
In making these cookies, I came to several essential conclusions about both my grandmother and great-grandmother. They either had memories like elephants (yes, I know that phrase doesn’t hold-up in the court of science), or they had a lot of time to start at the stove. These women wrote nothing useful down, except what they […]
I made a short stop over in NYC to spend time with family and friends just after Thanksgiving. New York is one of those towns that you can spend a lifetime in and never do enough, so below is the shortest of short wrap-ups and recommendations! I had the chance to see some dear childhood […]
So I know I have been MIA, but absence makes the heart grow fonder…unless you are a high schooler, in which case, absence will just get you Becca Billed (PS I sincerely hope WA has done away with that piece of trash by now.

So I mentioned earlier the details of my trip are slightly out of order for ease of story telling. If you are dying to know the nitty-gritty details of my trip, let me know and I will get them to you. Anyway, this post is all about my time in Cuzco and Lima (including the […]

Not unlike every other writer in America, I do the bulk on my writing at home. However, every so often I like to switch things up and get a change of scenery. This is obviously a little silly, as my laptop goes with me, and I spend the majority of my change-of-scenery time staring at […]
So here is the thing about working off of someone else’s recipe. The idea sounds deeply romantic. Old family recipes passed down generation to generation, each woman living a different and unexpected life with this one thing in common. I mean, the idea is hallmark movie level awesome. That is until you try it. The […]
My grandmother was the living, breathing, incarnation of Lucille Bluth.* With one notable difference. My grandmother preferred gin. Outside of gin, my grandmother loved two things. Her pets and food (Yes, I intentionally left her children and eating off this list). Which meant that after she passed, she left a very well stocked kitchen for her […]
