In honor of Pi Day (March 14th) and our anniversary, we baked our very first pie! Though we love to cook, we are inexperienced bakers so it was a pleasant surprise when our blueberry pie came out edible (kind of liquidy, but pretty delicious). This past weekend, we also celebrated our one-year anniversary by hosting a dinner party as a
With winter being so cold and rainy in California, we had to get to the slopes to enjoy the snowfall. Little did we know, it would be TOO good where we ended up snowed-in for an extra day in Brian Head, Utah.
