<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">It's been way too long since I last sat here, typing up a few words for this little blog of mine. But it feels <i>so </i>nice to be back for a moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I've spent the last few months hard at work, staying busy, keeping my mind occupied. I've been pushing my feelings aside and pretending that everything's ok. I lost my brother in May. Something so inexplicably painful, and truly impossible to even fathom at times. It's a feeling like the world has just crumbled under your feet, but everyone else is still walking somehow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Last month, I made the journey back to Michigan -- my favorite place on the planet, and my brother's too. We had spent nearly every summer there together since we were kids. But this year, I saw it in the fall. I saw the leaves change for the first time ever. I got to leave my phone untouched for days at a time (which is </span><i style="text-align: justify;">so </i><span style="text-align: justify;">freeing.) And I got to make a pumpkin pie - completely from scratch - with my grandma and my mom. Two of the strongest people I know. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I felt inspired for the first time in a long time, so I filmed this video. We nearly missed our flight waiting on a pie to cook, cool, and slice. But we did it. We ate pumpkin pie all the way to the airport, and made memories that I'll cherish forever.</span></div>

I'm celebrating this year with sweet, slightly tangy, <b><i>naturally</i></b> pink grapefruit tartlets. These delicate little tarts have a crisp Milk & Honey crust that pairs perfectly with homemade grapefruit curd filling. Top 'em off with some fluffy meringue hearts and edible flowers - what more could you need this V-Day?!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Start by making the Milk & Honey crust. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until they become small crumbs. Then, add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press and pack the mixture tightly into the bottom, and up onto the sides, of 4 mini tart pans. Bake the crusts at 350F for 10 minutes, or until a deep golden brown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. As the crusts cool, make the grapefruit curd. In a saucepan, whisk together the honey, cornstarch, and grapefruit juice on medium heat until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Very slowly, stream in half of the hot grapefruit mixture into the whisked egg yolks, whisking quickly, to temper the eggs. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the curd thickens. Remove the grapefruit curd from the heat and whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until melted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Fill the tartlet crusts up to the top with the warm grapefruit curd and chill in the fridge until set. Once set, enjoy them as is - or decorate with toasted meringue and edible flowers for something special!</div>

While back home in Miami this past summer, I had one of the most <i>exciting</i> opportunities that I FINALLY get to share with you all! Thanks to my awesome friends who did a solid job at hyping up my little blog (lookin' at you Talia and Jake,) I met <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lhvcmiami/?hl=en"><span style="color: #e06666;">Jackie</span></a> -- the powerhouse behind the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lhvcmiami/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Little Havana Visitors Center</span></a> in <i>(you guessed it)</i> Little Havana. Together, we dreamed up the video above to play in Jackie's store and show tourists how to properly prepare a Cuban Espresso and a Cortadito from home! SO FUN!!!<br />
<br />
I had <i>such</i> a blast shooting this video in the heart of Little Havana - and that's all thanks to the stellar gals I got to shoot it with! Firstly, the incredible stylist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wardrobeartistry/?hl=en" style="color: #e06666;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Mileidy</span></a>, who has such a skilled eye for style and owns every vintage prop your heart could desire. She lent us her home, her time, and her expertise which I still cannot thank her enough for!! And of course, my BFF <a href="https://www.instagram.com/taliaore/?hl=en"><span style="color: #e06666;">Talia</span></a> (the video's coffee making extraordinaire,) who patiently helped every step of the way (and lent us her pretty face, too!)<br />
<br />
Find the two recipes featured in this video below - and be sure to stop by the Little Havana Visitors Center next time you're in MIA!!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2JMqVNxCv_8P2bvGNFXH_q9g-dBN3UB2FqTfe2vY3Q3WuxRgPI2hNqab69HZDjlYa1bluw68LoPoXAANby3fpeNvILDHBL2eFwimKUPUoBL7LTh8D5B-y-5SpFPqboL8_xEd-ozI2oyJO/s1600/Cuban+Coffee+3+Sugar+Coated+Inspiration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. To begin, fill the bottom half of a traditional Cuban coffee maker with water. Do not fill past the valve! Top with the coffee filter and fill it with ground espresso. (During this step you can pack the grounds tightly if you'd like a stronger brew.) Level off the grounds with the back of a spoon and tightly twist on the top half of the coffee maker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Over medium heat, begin to brew the espresso with the lid of the coffee maker lifted UP. Once the first first few drops are released, take a bit of the espresso and pour it into a bowl with a few tablespoons of sugar. (Use more or less sugar depending on your personal taste!) Quickly close up the lid of the coffee maker and continue to brew the espresso until it's done, <i>(about 3 minutes.)</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. As the espresso finishes brewing, take the sugar and espresso mixture into your hands and whip it together vigorously. After a couple minutes, it will become a thick, pale brown paste that should flow slowly off your spoon, like lava.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. When the espresso is brewed, carefully pour it over this thick sugar paste and stir until a sweet foam, known as "espumita," rises up to the top. You can serve the Cuban Espresso in small cups, or use it to make a Cortadito!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. To make a Cortadito, simply mix equal parts Cuban Espresso and canned evaporated milk. Warm and froth the evaporated milk, pour it into the espresso, top with foam, and<i><b> drink up!</b></i></div>

I am so, so, so excited about this post today. Firstly, because it's been <i>waaay</i> too long since I last shared a recipe video on here! And secondly, because these pavlovas are the stuff dreams are made of. <i>(Ok, dramatic...but just LOOK at them!)</i></div>

<i>DIRECTIONS</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Begin by making the meringue nests. Preheat your oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the <b>egg whites</b> and <b>salt</b>. Once the mixture is frothy, slowly stream in the granulated <b>sugar</b>. Once the mixture is opaque white and fluffy, add in the <b>vanilla extract</b>, <b>corn starch</b>, and <b>lemon juice</b>. Beat until shiny, stiff peaks form, <i>(see video for reference.)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Next, scoop the meringue mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Form a small indentation in each of the scoops to create a "nest" for the whipped cream. Place the meringues into the <b>350 F</b> oven, and <i><b>immediately</b></i> turn the oven temperature down to <b>300 F</b>. Bake the meringues at <b>300 F for 25 minutes</b>, watching carefully within the last 5 minutes to avoid any browning. When 25 minutes is up, turn off the oven and leave the meringues <b>inside</b> for another <b>25 minutes</b> to dry out and finish cooking. Lastly, remove them from the oven and let them cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. While the meringues bake, make the pink cherry syrup. Combine <b>fresh pitted cherries</b>, <b>lemon juice</b>, and <b>sugar</b> in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a <b>boil</b> <i>(stirring constantly to avoid burning of the sugar,)</i> reduce the heat, and <b>simmer</b> for approximately <b>10 minutes</b> - or until the liquid has thickened into a syrup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Strain the fresh cherries out of the syrup, and set them aside to top the pavlovas later. Once the strained cherry syrup mixture has cooled completely, stir in a touch of <b>cream</b> until the syrup becomes an intense pink color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Once the meringues have cooled and the syrup is ready, whip <b>unsweetened fresh cream</b> <i>(the meringues and syrup are sweet enough on their own.) </i>To assemble the pavlovas, place one meringue nest on a plate <i>(preferably the plate you'll be serving on, as the pavlovas become delicate once assembled,) </i>top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with the pink cherry syrup, and spoon on the cooked cherries that you set aside earlier. If desired place a <b>fresh red cherry</b> on top and dust with <b>powdered sugar</b>. The pavlovas are best enjoyed immediately! :)</div>

Today's post is all about my recent trip along the coast of California!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a few of you may already know, I just graduated from UCLA (which was incredible, yet also mildly terrifying.) During the weeks surrounding and following graduation, my family (aunts, uncles, cousin, grandma, grandpa, mom AND dad) all flew out from the East Coast to celebrate with me. I'm a lucky gal!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had the BEST time exploring LA, San Diego, and Las Vegas. But the most unique part of our journey was a brief road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway, with my grandma, grandpa, and mom. Along the way, we made stops at the famous Hearst Castle in San Simeon, discovered the magical "olallieberry" <i>(which makes, quite possibly, the world's best pie,)</i> drove on stomach-churning hairpin turns in Big Sur (with views that made it SO worthwhile,) brunched in the beautiful city of Carmel, and wandered through the mesmerizing Monterey Bay Aquarium. Long story short, it was FUN!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brace yourselves for a photo-heavy post with some of my favorite memories from the adventure, along with a little video I edited together from the aquarium and a photo shoot with a mini olallieberry pie from Linn's bakery in Cambria, CA! </div>

(OH, and here's me, post-graduation, lookin' cray. <i>PEACE OUT SCHOOL!</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are a few snaps taken at our first stop of the trip: the historic Hearst Castle. The castle sits up on a hill with breathtaking views and is home to wild zebras! ZEBRAS!!!</div>

Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's celebrate this beautiful country with, <i>quite possibly</i>, the most American combination of desserts: <b>BROWNIE</b> + <b>PIE</b> + <b>S'MORES</b>!! Like, can it get more patriotic than that?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This glorious pie has a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust, gooey brownie center, and toasted marshmallow meringue topping. OH, <i>and if you aren't already drooling</i>, the brownie center is stuffed with melty chunks of Hershey's milk chocolate, (because a s'more just isn't a s'more without Hershey's... don't you agree?!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

My friends and I had such a blast making (and eating) this S'mores Brownie Pie this holiday weekend, and we hope you do too!! Be sure to scroll down for additional photos and the recipe. :)</div>

<i>DIRECTIONS</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Start by making the graham cracker crust. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until they become small crumbs that resemble sand. To the crumbs, stir in butter, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Press and pack the mixture tightly into the bottom, and up onto the sides, of a pie tin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Next, make the brownie filling. Bring water to a boil in the microwave (in a large, microwave-safe bowl.) Once hot, whisk in the cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate until melted. Then, add melted butter and oil. Let the mixture cool for a minute, and then quickly whisk in the eggs and egg yolks. Next, add the vanilla extract and sugars, and whisk until smooth. Lastly, fold in the flour and salt until just combined (do not over mix!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Break apart a bar of Hershey's milk chocolate and place it into one even layer on top of the graham cracker crust. Then, cover with the brownie batter and fill the pie tin until just nearly full. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Check that a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the pie before removing it from the oven to cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. While the s'mores brownie pie is cooling, start on the meringue topping by whipping together egg whites and the cream of tartar. Slowly add in the sugar until egg whites are firm, opaque, and glossy white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Place the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, and pipe small peaks in a circular pattern on top of the brownie pie, (or for a more "rustic" look, dollop the meringue all over the pie and create peaks with a spoon.) Broil the meringue in the oven for 30 seconds to a minute, watching carefully (as it will toast up and begin to burn rather quickly.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6. Once the meringue is toasted, top the pie with patriotic sprinkles, slice up, and enjoy immediately! And have a happy Fourth of July!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<i>DIRECTIONS</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Melt the dark chocolate. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, blow up the water balloons. Rinse them off, dry them, and dab each with a bit of coconut oil (or nonstick spray) on a paper towel. This will help to keep the balloon from sticking to the chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(<i><b>*note</b>: the mousse fills 4 chocolate bowls. However, I made a few extra bowls with the leftover chocolate. Store them in the freezer for later, and fill with ice cream!</i>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Once the chocolate has cooled, dip each balloon halfway into the chocolate. Coat well, and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet dabbed with dark chocolate (to act as the "base" of the bowl.) Pop them into the freezer immediately. Freeze for about 15 minutes, until the chocolate is set. Once set, pop the balloons with a needle and remove from the chocolate. Return to the freezer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Next, make the mouse. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese and butter. Once fluffy, add in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla. Whip for another minute, until combined.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl. Once stiff peaks form, carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture. Once thoroughly incorporated, place into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe the mousse into the edible chocolate bowls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Garnish with fresh raspberries and sprigs of mint if desired. Serve immediately and e<i>njoy!</i></div>

Popping in with an incredibly simple, sweet, and (omg) <i>healthy</i> Valentine's Day treat?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me start by saying that I am not the biggest fan of so-called "healthy" desserts. Dessert is meant to be sweet and indulgent and rich - and the few healthier desserts that I've made always end up lacking in at least one of those key characteristics (usually in the "sweet" arena.)<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, (clearly... or I wouldn't be posting this recipe,) these Healthy Chocolate Date Truffles check each of the three boxes. Naturally <b>sweet</b> from the <i>dates</i>, <b>rich</b> from the <i>coconut oil</i>, and <b>indulgent</b> from the <i>cocoa powder</i>. Oddly enough, they end up tasting almost like a fudgy brownie bite... not even kidding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These faux truffles are inspired by my cousin, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ceconverse/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Courtney</span></a> (u da best!,) who made them alongside a plethora of delicious Christmas cookies a couple months back. I found myself going after these truffles more than the REAL cookies (I know, crazy.) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just more proof that <i>this </i>healthy dessert is worthy of your attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I can't even begin to describe how much FUN I had making these marshmallows for <a href="http://glitterinc.com/2016/01/how-to-make-big-fluffy-raspberry-marshmallows/#0"><span style="color: #e06666;">Glitter, Inc.</span> </a>Honestly, I've been wanting to attempt homemade marshmallows for <i>forever</i>. And with Valentine's Day sneaking up, I found my perfect excuse. I just love how this little blog of mine - and being a food contributor to Lexi's blog - allows me to play around so much in the kitchen! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for these Homemade Raspberry Marshmallows, they can only be described as the most heavenly, fluffy little raspberry clouds. They're much lighter and softer than store-bought, and they're actually surprisingly simple to make. Give 'em a try! Click <a href="http://glitterinc.com/2016/01/how-to-make-big-fluffy-raspberry-marshmallows/#0"><span style="color: #e06666;">here</span></a> for the recipe post on Glitter, Inc.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other news, 2016 brings about more free time in my schedule <i>(phew!)</i> - meaning I'll be able to post recipes a bit more frequently. YAY!

It's almost Halloween!! I couldn't be more excited. Since it will be socially acceptable to eat candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow - here are three of my all-time favorite <span style="font-family: Cambria;">Halloween candies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><i>Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream</i> for breakfast,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><i>100 Grand</i> for lunch,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">and <i>Dark Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups</i> for dinner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">Below, you'll find the recipes to make these ridiculously divine treats at home, and above you'll find a step-by-step video tutorial to show you just how easy it is to make homemade candy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">If you need me, I'll be in a sugar coma.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's officially the first day of Fall!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And even though Southern California has yet to get the memo (why is it so HOT?) - we're still breaking out the warm apple cider. In honor of the new season, <a href="https://instagram.com/crystalmeoww/"><span style="color: #e06666;">Crystal</span></a> (my classmate/baking soulmate) and I threw together an incredible Fall meal - Stuffed Acorn Squash, Whoopie Pumpkin Pies (hehe, she's also a food-naming genius,) and of course, these outrageous Adult Caramel Apple Cider drinks.<br />
<br />
All in all, I'd say it was a pretty A+ Fall menu. (Hey, Food Network - hire us?!)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So about this Adult Caramel Apple Cider...<br />
<br />
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a fan of alcoholic drinks...but this cider is a different story. It's like a hug in a mason jar. Warm and cinnamon-y with just a slight kick. Crystal knew that the key to making this drink incredibly smooth would be to use a great quality vodka.<br />
<br />
And I knew that the key to making it a drink I'd actually enjoy would be topping it with pumpkin pie whipped cream and lots and lots of homemade caramel sauce.<br />
<br />
We make a great team, don't we?!<br />

Another reason why this drink is great is that it's SO simple to make. Just throw some apple cider and some vodka into a crockpot and let it heat up - it makes a ton of servings, so it's perfect for a holiday party. </div>

<i>DIRECTIONS</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Pour the apple cider and vodka into a crockpot on high heat. Adjust the amount of vodka based on personal preference. Allow the drink to become hot, and then turn the crockpot to low.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. While the cider heats, make the caramel drizzle. Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan on medium heat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Once the mixture looks bubbly (about 3 minutes), whisk in the warm milk until the sauce becomes cohesive and smooth (add more or less milk depending on how thick/thin you'd like your caramel to be.) Add a splash of vanilla for flavor and pour into a serving dish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. When ready to serve the drinks, pour the hot adult caramel apple cider into mason jars. Top the cider with whipped cream, cinnamon, and caramel. Pair with a pumpkin biscotti for ultimate yumminess!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

5. ENJOY, and Happy Fall!!</div>

Dropping in today to share a few photos from my latest post on <a href="http://www.jenrobin.com/recipes/acai-bowls/" style="color: #e06666;">Jen Robin</a>! Packed with antioxidants and topped with fruit, nuts, coconut (<i>you name it</i>,) I can definitely understand why the açaí bowl trend has become so popular. And as a girl who eats with her eyes, it's obvious why I fell in love with making them. (Pssst...I've made this recipe *at least* 5 times since sharing it on Jen's site, so I can guarantee you - it's a good one.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you'll love these making these trendy treats at home as much as I do! For a link to the recipe on Jen's site, scroll to the bottom of this post.</div>

The best part of summer vacation, since I can remember, is our annual trip up to Ludington, MI. This sweet little city on Lake Michigan is home to the two most loving, kind-hearted people I know - my Grandma and Grandpa. It's also home to the most stunning scenery, cutest chipmunks, and biggest blueberries I've ever laid eyes on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, it's my happy place.</div>

To give you a little taste of what summer in Ludington is like, here's my Grandma's famous blueberry pie recipe and a video tutorial to go with - starring the lovely lady herself. And below, a few snaps from this year's trip. Isn't Michigan just beautiful?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>DIRECTIONS</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Combine 6 cups of washed, fresh blueberries with sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice, and instant tapioca. Mix together lightly and set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. In a separate bowl, add flour and butter. Cut the butter and flour together with two knives, or a pastry cutter. Continue until the mixture resembles small peas (watch the video above for guidance.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Into the butter and flour, add in salt and cold water. Use your hands to pack the mixture together until it forms a dough. Divide the dough into two separate balls (one will be the top crust and one will be the bottom crust.)<br />
<br />
4. Generously flour a clean surface, and roll out one of the dough balls to the size of your pie pan. Place the rolled out crust into the bottom of the pie pan and fill with the blueberry mixture. Top the filling with 8 small pats of butter, for a richer & more decadent filling.<br />
<br />
5. Roll out the last dough ball and carefully lay it onto the top of the filling. Sprinkle the crust lightly with sugar, if desired. Then, crimp the edges and make a few slits in the top so steam can release while baking. Cover the crimped edges of the crust with tinfoil and place into a preheated oven.<br />
<br />
6. Bake the pie, at 375 degrees, for 20 minutes and then remove the tinfoil. Continue baking for another 40 minutes or so, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely.<br />
<br />
7. Serve warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Boba is my latest obsession. <span style="text-align: justify;">Also known as bubble tea or black tapioca, boba is </span><i style="text-align: justify;">everywhere</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> in LA. I mean, I can't even walk across campus without spotting a little makeshift boba tea stand. </span></div>
<br />
Sadly though, boba is a bit harder to come across in Miami (where I've been spending summer break.) In order to keep my obsession satisfied throughout the summer months, I decided to attempt making boba at home.<br />
<br />
<i>And guess what?</i> I've learned it's about as easy to do as boiling water.<br />
<br />
Together with Brenna (my BFF since high school,) we made a little video showing you how simple it is to make boba at home. We also whipped up an incredibly creamy, tropical mango pineapple smoothie to go with. The perfect compliment to those chewy lil' tapioca pearls.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of you who have never tried boba, you're probably wondering why anyone would ever eat a bunch of chewy, fish egg-looking blobs. But after you try them, trust me, you'll be hooked too.<br />
<br />
And for those of you who don't necessarily love mango (<i>covering all my bases here,</i>) I've added an additional smoothie recipe below - one that's simple, that I've made countless times. A <b>strawberry pineapple smoothie</b> that's a refreshing combo of tart and sweet.</div>

<b>DIRECTIONS</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Boil 5 cups of water in a deep saucepan. Once boiling, add the dried tapioca pearls. When the pearls float to the top of the boiling water, cover the pan with a lid and continue boiling for 5 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. After 5 minutes of boiling, turn off the heat and let the tapioca pearls simmer covered for another 5 minutes. Then, strain and rinse the boba with cold water to stop the cooking process.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Next, make the simple syrup that will keep the boba from drying out. Boil 1/2 cup of water in the microwave (2 minutes). Add in 1/2 cup of brown sugar immediately, and stir until it is dissolved. Add the boba into the simple syrup. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. For the smoothies, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth - adding more liquid if necessary. Be sure to use frozen fruit! That's the key to a creamy, cold smoothie.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Scoop a small amount of the boba and syrup into the bottom of a tall glass. Pour the smoothie on top, serve with a wide straw - and sip up!<br />

Today is a joyous day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's the last day of my Junior year in college (woah, feeling old)...but more importantly - it's also</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i><b>National Donut Day</b></i>!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In celebration of donuts and summer vacation, I whipped up these simple buttermilk donuts for the <i>incredibly</i> sweet <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.jenrobin.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Jen Robin</span></a> </span>(which are made from store-bought biscuit dough!) Within minutes, they fry up into tender, doughy pillows of heaven. Coat them in a sweet glaze and dip them into crushed Fruity Pebbles (<i>everyone's favorite cereal</i>) - and you have these adorable treats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I’m not the biggest fan of
macarons – shocking, I know (considering I make them practically any chance I
get.) But it’s never been the final product that drives me. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It’s the process.
It’s the challenge of knowing that you’re about to make something that’s notoriously
tricky, and the excitement of somehow pulling it off (well, most of the time at
least) that keeps me making macarons over and over again. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">But as far as taste goes,
these delicate little cookies are way </span><i style="font-size: 14pt;">way</i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">
too sweet for me (also shocking, considering that my blog is nothing but
sweets.) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">After making at least seven or eight different
flavors of macarons since this obsession started, I think I’ve </span><i style="font-size: 14pt;">finally</i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> found a flavor/recipe that I </span><i style="font-size: 14pt;">love</i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">. And that flavor is Oreo. Oh yes,
you heard right. You’re gonna want to try these…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Load this batter into
a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, and pipe out about 40 evenly spaced
1-inch circles onto two parchment (or silpat) lined baking sheets <i>(20 cookies on each sheet)</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Once they’re
all piped, tap the pan hard on the counter, multiple times, to release any air bubbles. It will sound like someone is being murdered - but this is
a CRUCIAL STEP! Your neighbors will forgive you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> Lastly, leave the baking sheets in a cool, dry area to dry them out
for at least one hour – until the tops are no longer sticky to the touch. If
you skip this step, your macarons will not come out right!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In my search for a chewy - <i>NOT cake-y</i> - pumpkin cookie, I found this incredible</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recipe from <a href="http://www.yammiesnoshery.com/2014/09/chewy-pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">Yammie's Noshery</span></a>. I made the cookies, and they were perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I made them a second time. Still perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These cookies are buttery, chocolatey, cinnamon-y, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just the right amount of pumpkin-y. But most importantly, they're CHEWY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The key to the amazing chew of these cookies is that there's no egg in the recipe. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, the moist pumpkin replaces the need for any egg. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which coincidentally makes it safe/acceptable to eat the dough by the spoonful. Hehe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have a few amazing recipes coming your way before Christmas, and first up are these<br />
Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies - honestly, the best cookies I've ever made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, seriously. They're so, so good. Crisp on the outside, chewy and gooey on the inside.<br />
I found this recipe on <a href="http://www.thelittlekitchen.net/doubletree-hotel-copycat-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">The Little Kitchen</span></a> as a copycat recipe for those deliciously warm<br />
cookies you get upon checking into a Doubletree Hotel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recipe has a few unique ingredients compared to a typical cookie recipe (lemon juice, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cinnamon, oat flour) - it's these odd ingredients that give these cookies such </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a distinct, delicious flavor. Trust me.<br />
<br />
Follow the <b>video</b> <b>above</b> for step-by-step instructions, and find the full <b>recipe</b> <b>below</b>!<br />

Happy Holidays!!!<br />

Happy Friday!!!</div>

Earlier this week I made the <i>most delicious </i>zucchini bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really, though. It is so delicious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those of you who haven't ever had zucchini bread, make it NOW!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's basically like an ultra moist, cinnamon-y cake that is acceptable to eat for breakfast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sound good?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's how it's made...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Just 5 easy steps!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>1. </b>Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a loaf pan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2.</b> In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the egg, sugars, oil, zucchini, and vanilla.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>3.</b> In a larger bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>4.</b> Add the wet into the dry and mix with a spatula just until it comes together - don't over mix!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>5.</b> Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i>Tip</i>: You may want to cover the loaf with tinfoil after about 30 minutes of baking, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that the top of the zucchini bread doesn't burn.)</div>
