revolver coffee latte counter| dailywaffle

Other than the sunshine that appeared unexpectedly, one of the best things about our weekend in Vancouver, BC was the coffee. Not surprising, right?

How to Fold Gyoza
A thousand cranes are said to bring good luck, grant a wish and/or otherwise give good ju-ju.  For our wedding we folded 1,000 red, orange and yellow cranes. When I say we, I mean mostly me, my mom and my aunties. On my lunch breaks at work, I sat in the breakroom, folding, folding, folding. …

Winter White Cauliflower and Potato Chowder
You can tell it's winter by the number of bowls in our dishwasher. Oatmeal in the morning, soup for dinner. Over the last few weeks, it's been a regular soup smorgasbord around here. We've had lentil soup, pho, turkey soup, and chili. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Nicole texted me looking for a…

Birthday Cakes & Simple Apple Galettes
Arkansas Black Apple Galette| dailywaffle Sometimes you just have to do a little something for yourself. My birthday was on a Monday this year, so I didn't take it as a day off.
