Get Phonky With It

Posted on December 20, 2022 20 Comments

About six months ago, my friend introduced me to a new genre of music called Phonk, and ever since then I’ve been totally obsessed. Today, I want to share some Phonk with you, since it’s my new favorite genre and I think everyone should give it a try. EDM and techno have been my favorite […]

Help Me With My Hoarding Problem: Pusheen Subscription Boxes

Posted on December 12, 2022 32 Comments

As some of you may know, I have a bit of a hoarding problem. I’m slightly addicted to online shopping, regular shopping, and subscription boxes, and don’t have room for everything I buy. So a lot of stuff I acquire just sits around in the boxes it came in, never to be opened, as evidenced […]

Making Half Baked Harvest’s Soft Gingerbread Latte Cookies

Posted on December 8, 2022 21 Comments

Well, the title really says it all! If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw me tweet about these cookies a couple days ago. A few people ended up asking me for the recipe (which I will always give because they’re never mine anyways), so I figured I’d do a post over them, give […]

Do You Want A Box For That?

Posted on December 6, 2022 47 Comments

Hey, everyone! I know I’ve been scarce here on the blog lately, what with the holidays and occasionally working once a week (and spending hours watching Tik Toks), I have just been swamped (and lazy)! But I’m here today to talk about being healthy, or rather one of my attempts to become a healthier person […]

A Week of Working Out

Last week, my dad and I got Planet Fitness memberships. I have never been a member of a gym before, unless you count the YMCA, but I never actually worked out at the YMCA, I mostly just accompanied my grandma to go swimming sometimes.

Hello, everyone! You might remember back in July, I posted a piece over these edible crystal candies I found, made by a company called Misaky Tokyo.

Trying Out A New Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake

Posted on October 3, 2022 25 Comments

I am someone who is a big fan of seasonal flavors. I like eggnog in the winter, floral flavors in the spring, fresh watermelon and tomatoes in the summer, and of course, pumpkin spice and warm apple-y flavors in the fall. So this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake by Handle the Heat seemed like the perfect […]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another Small Business Saturday! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, but I am extra excited for today’s featured business because it’s actually local to me.

A Fancy Mustard Review

Posted on September 27, 2022 19 Comments

I went to a local market in Troy for Kewpie mayo, but they were sold out, so I sadly wandered the store looking for something else to buy. I came across these three flavors of mustard: I’d never heard of this brand before, but these mustards looked pretty quality, so I decided to grab all […]

The Opening of Oh! Boba

Posted on September 26, 2022 12 Comments

This past weekend, I went to the ribbon cutting ceremony of a new boba tea shop. The area in which I live is not particularly well known for its boba places, so this was quite exciting as someone who loves the stuff. Prior to this place opening in Troy about thirty minutes from me, the […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Half Baked Harvest’s Chocolate Chip Espresso Oatmeal Cookies

Posted on September 23, 2022 20 Comments

I made cookies! And if you couldn’t guess from the title, they were oatmeal cookies. With chocolate chips. And espresso powder. And other stuff, but for some reason only those ingredients are included in the title. Anyways, as I’ve mentioned before, Half Baked Harvest is one of my favorite food bloggers, so I was excited […]

Making the Greatest Bread I’ve Ever Made

Posted on September 17, 2022 31 Comments

I was looking for something to accompany the salad I was making for dinner, and I stumbled upon Half Baked Harvest’s “Soft Garlic Herb Cheddar Cheese Bread”. Savory bread?! I could definitely do that. I prefer baking over cooking, anyway, so this recipe seemed like the perfect thing to make. I had to gather some […]

Trying Out A New Recipe: Justine Doiron’s “Best Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies”

Posted on September 13, 2022 27 Comments

I’ve stated this before in a post from a few months ago, but I have a bad habit of following a ton of cooking/baking people on Tik Tok and then never actually trying out their recipes. Yesterday, however, I saw one of my favorite foodie Tik Tokers, Justine Doiron (@justine_snacks) post a recipe for pumpkin […]
