My top Sonoma and Napa winery recommendations that are an hour or less from San Francisco. As someone who's worked in the wine industry for over 6 years and has tasted at over 200 wineries, these are my top choices for when you're not wanting to go too far. If you don't have a car you can typically take an Uber from SF which is around $80 one way, but split between 4 people isn't bad. You can also take the ferry to Vallejo and then Uber from there, making it much cheaper/ closer.

I like to keep things as fresh and wholesome as possible, but I also believe in balance… which is why you’ll always find a bag of sour gummy worms tucked in there too. 🪱 Because life’s too short not to mix greens with a little bit of sweetness. 💛

I love to bake! When I was a child it was something I did with both my parents and grandparents. In my family it was sugar cookies for Christmas, but peanut butter, chocolate chip, and snickerdoodles for just whenever occasions. Thanksgiving breakfast was when mom made cinnamon rolls, and the rest of autumn was for pumpkin bread. We had banana bread whenever the bananas got overripe, and the bonanza of zucchini from the garden became zucchini bread for weeks on end.

Food and drink in St. Mary’s, MD! I grew up here and it will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s growing so expect to see new additions as I check them out!
I'm a girl who has fallen into trying to make everything homemade nowadays because once you have kids you start to care more about what you are feeding them and what is in the products you are biying. Not that we don't go crazy every once in a while and have a sweet treat, in fact we do often, but I'm trying to be more intentional of what I feed them. These are recipes I love and my boys love. My oldest is VERY picky. I feel like they have a lot of prep work sometimes but they allow me to grab and go later instead of defaulting to buying something with not so great ingredients when we're in a pinch. Hopefully this is useful!
