The holidays are here, and I’m sharing how I pulled off hosting not one, but two very different dinner parties. As someone with years of experience in food (cookbook author and photographer + food tech + food blogger), I’ve learned plenty of hosting tips and tricks to make the process fun, efficient, and stress-free.
October in San Francisco is on another level. From DIY robot costumes to visiting our favorite pumpkin patches, this month has been filled with autumn fun. We joined in the festivities at the Scaregrove Halloween carnival and ended it all with trick-or-treating in Noe Valley. And, of course, no Spooky Season would be complete without carving our first jack-o-lantern.
Join me for a joint birthday party with my husband, my very first driverless ride in a Waymo, and a delicious solo day in Japantown. Plus, I pick out a new daruma for this year’s goals and explore Fisherman’s Wharf with the fam. It’s a little bit of everything I love as I step into a new year.
Friendships in your 30s and 40s hit different, don’t they? In this video, I’m baking a smash cake for a bestie's baby’s first birthday and squeezing in a much-needed mom’s night out. It’s all about showing up for the little milestones and making those quality moments count—whether it’s a coffee date, meme dumping, or a girls' night out. Because let’s be honest, some bonds are just worth the effort.
Autumn in San Francisco is magical. For families, it’s a season to savor every last bit of the outdoors before the rainy days settle in.
This summer in San Francisco was all about making memories–especially with kiddos in tow. We explored everything from local museums and farmers markets to awesome STEM activities that sparked curiosity and fun. We threw garden parties, hit up delicious restaurants, and embraced all the magical moments summer had to offer.
