It’s a throwback day! (Flotsam should return next week. We’ll see.) Yeaaaars and years ago Aaron and I decided that we needed to record a Christmas song in order to become rich and famous, like most artists do. And while that definitely did not happen (the rich and famous part), we still got a song […]

Christmas Wrapping Paper Style! And My Opinions on them.
Iiiiiiit’s aaaaaaaa wraaaaaaa- I wouldn’t do that to you. Maybe. (I would.) Let’s look back at the past NINE YEARS of my wrapping paper style and how it’s evolved! Or devolved? Look, just keep that to yourself. I obsess over a wrapping paper look. It’s a whole vibe. A whole thing. It carries the mood. […]
Knack Gift Boxes!
Ohhhhhh do I have a fun gift idea for you! Not only are these gift boxes super stylish and fun to put together, it’s small business support. BIPOC-owned support. Women-owned support. Something amazing you get behind while getting that holiday list narrowed down to zilch. Boom. It’s called Knack. Have you heard of them? A […]
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cake
He…he….here we go, y’all! The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cake. (I baked!) Right in time for the big day. (I baked!) My Wannabe Baker Chronicles continue, you guys. This time in pumpkin form. Which, okay. POOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLAH! Are you a pumpkin fan? (I’m not looking at you, pumpkin spiced latte fans.) I mean like really. Pumpkin […]
Holiday Gift Guide 2021!
A gift guiiiiiide! It’s been so long since I’ve put together one of these, how fun. This thing has a little bit of everything, because I know how overwhelming it can be to think about gifting, the budget, what’s actually necessary, but still thoughtful and sweet, yadda yadda yadda. I’ll tell you now, the most […]
Seared Green Beans with a Lemon Butter Parmesan Sauce
And a crunchy buttery panko topping (!!), but I feel like that long title would have given you a stroke. So much butter! It was election day when I made this so I just went for it. But it’s real butter, none of that fake alien mess in a tub. So yeah, all the butter. […]
In-Home Holiday Styling with Golden and Pine!
Surprise Sunday bonus blog post! Also happy November! Are you recovered from your candy coma? It’s my mission today to distract you from all the calories that yesterday forced upon us. Let’s not even think about it. Instead, let’s look at pretty holiday photos taken by the fabulous Meghan Savage, ‘mkay? I’m not going to […]
Cardamom and Green Apple Puff Pastries
So I have a story. (also, dessert, yay!) The above is what happens when someone who’s very much not a baker decides she wants to take a stab at cardamom rolls because the book she was reading (The Scent Keeper, o m g) had a character obsessively making them for guests at her summer fishing […]
Simple Blueberry Galette
But with cream cheese, LOVAHS. Look at me all ragin’ summer like with these burstin’ berries tucked into a golden brown crackly pie crust. And you know what, we’re even GROWING berries in our garden, but all the *&*# birds yoink them just as and before they ripen. I’ve eaten approximately ohhhh let’s see . […]
Baked Cheesy Shallot and Prosciutto Pinwheels
Happy In-Between Christmas and New Year where we have no idea how to act or what to be or what to do, yaaaaay! I suppose we’ll have to make an absurdly delicious New Year’s Eve appetizer in the meantime. That feels like a solid choice to my soul and gut and waist line. Speaking of, […]
