It’s that time of year again.  As we start fresh for 2022, I am looking back at my favorite food and fashion of last year.  I hope you enjoy this blast from the past as much as I do.

Carob Carrot Crumb Loaf

Part carrot cake, part brownie, part crumb cake, I will not apologize for wanting this for breakfast every single day.

Caramel Nut Pie with Ganache

OMG I love this pie so much.  I used it to celebrate my blogiversary and it is more than celebration worthy.

Paleo Spring Balsamic Berry Cake

This cake is everything I love in a dessert.  Tender, fluffy cake with tart, berry filling, and insanely creamy frosting.  It’s a showstopper!

Paleo Levain Bakery Walnut Chip Copycat Cookies

I don’t always like nuts in my cookies, but these made me a total convert.  I don’t even have words to express how good they are, so just go make them!

Knife and Spoon Grande Lakes 

I had several memorable meals at Knife and Spoon this year and already feel at home whenever I’m dining there.

Blue, White, and Sparkles #FashionFriday

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that this is one of my favorite outfits of the year and my first visit to Knife and Spoon.  It’s such a classy, summery look.

Paleo Lemon Drizzle Cake

This is such a simple treat that can be eaten any time of day, but it’s so bright and happy and basically sunshine in a cake.  I can’t resist it.

Very Cherry Basque Cheesecake

I’m not always a fan of cheesecake, so it says a ton about this one when I tell you it totally stole my heart.

Apricot Pecan Crumb Bars

I love a crumb bar, and with fresh and dried apricots, I seriously cannot get enough of these.

Double Dot Dash #FashionFriday

A simple yet fun outfit for a simple yet fun day.  It doesn’t get better than that.

I can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store!

Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston a Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul last night!  I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
