The best carrot cake recipe. EVER (IMO). Enjoy!
Peach Galette
A summer staple. Recipe here. Enjoy!
Thai Chicken Salad
This salad is so easy to made. All you need is lettuce, mixed cabbage slaw, rotisserie chicken (I got mine from Whole Foods), roasted peanuts (optional), and Thai peanut sauce.
This Thai peanut sauce is also great for stir fried, or dipping sauce. Definitely a great addition in my pantry!

Up Bay Finds - Provisions
I'm so happy we found V-town Provision while shopping at the farmer’s market in the city of Vallejo.
Their menu is unique and delicious with lots of vegan choices. They offer over 20 local beers, wines and kombucha on tap, as well as an amazing selection of cocktails and pastries.
No brunch menu on weekends. But their vegan cinnamon roll is mouthwatering!
Best fried chicken sandwich in town!

Soft Pretzels
They taste like the pretzels you get at the mall. So good and buttery!
This recipe is from Magnolia Table cookbook. It’s definitely a keeper!
Tahini Banana Bread
Best with almond butter. So good!
Recipe here. I replaced regular flour to GF flour, and white/brown sugar to coconut sugar. Enjoy!
Green Is The New Black
