It's 5:45 am and I'm revitalizing myself with a SECOND round of coffee. Please tell me that I'm not the only one who comatose-ly wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water only to have their brain check in mid-gulp to remind them of all the things that they have to do… Continue reading Sweet Potato Brownies with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting

Ginger Cake with a Lemon Coconut Glaze
This sticky ginger cake is absolutely incredible! It's like a Christmas gingerbread cookie brought to life in the summer. Taking a bite of it elucidates memories of past Christmases.

I love early mornings. Every morning, after my alarm sounds, I sleepily walk to the kitchen and slowly make myself a coffee. I watch the gorgeous glow of the sun gently creep above the horizon.
