Here is an amazing dupe of the Bottega Veneta Tan Small ‘The Pouch 20’ Clutch from H&M for only $29 rather than the $1390 price tag of the real thing. This version has sadly sold out on the American H&M website at the moment but should be restocked as it was on the UK site. They call it …
(Wo)man’s Best Friend
This is the first time that I have come back home and realized how old my dog, Bacon, is getting. It’s no secret that a dog is man’s best friend, and for very good reason. While they can be annoying at times, dogs are our loyal companions. They make us feel valued, even getting excited …
The Best Appetizer: Spinach and Artichoke Dip
This is a favorite of mine to get when I’m out at a restaurant as a starter and this version tastes just like that! You basically just mix together all the ingredients and stick it in the oven for 25 minutes and voilà! This is great served with some pita chips but I think I’ll try …
Social Distancing
In these unprecedented times it is more important than ever to stay connected. I am fortunate enough to be home with my parents with whom I have a great relationship, however, not everyone is fortunate enough to be in the same situation.

Last-Minute Dessert: Coconut Chocolate Mousse
I’ll start by saying that I made these out of boredom and less out of a need for a last-minute dessert, however, they would work great for this need to. This took me probably 5 minutes to make and made six servings! Perfect if you love coconut and chocolate and have some coconut milk or …

Hummingbird Cake
This is probably my favorite cake of all time. Three layers or moist cake with pineapple chunks and chopped pecans with a perfectly sweet cream cheese frosting to finish it all off. This is always a hit in my house and it’s one that is requested time and time again. Impress guests with this easy …
Review: Los Moros
Los Moros is a wonderful small restaurant hidden away in York, they also have a stall in the Shambles Food Court which is a lovely place to sit outside and eat during the summer. Los Moros itself serves modern Northern African food. I went for my first time with friends who had been the night …
Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi Fried Rice A lovely Korean Fried Rice that works great for a sweet and sour lunch. From the New York Times, “Not the high-heat stir-fry you might expect, Grace Lee’s home-style fried-rice recipe uses a simple technique — make an easy, flavorful kimchi sauce, mellowed out with butter, and sauté leftover rice in it. …
Steak au Poivre with Mushroom and Potato Purée
Another great recipe from the Wall Street Journal by chef Dave Beran. This produces perfectly rested steak and the creamiest mashed potato that ever existed. Enjoy of an evening with a great glass of red wine. This only takes about 30 minutes but tastes like you spent all day slaving over the stove. (Serves 4) …
