• a bagel brunch baby shower

    we threw my bff this little baby shower over 3 years ago now– but i realized i’d never shared it here and i thought it turned out so cute you’d want to see it!

    it was a simple little bagel brunch at her apartment, with a giant incredible brunch spread and so many bagels (ironic now because she was diagnosed celiac later!!)Read More

    this was the first get together we’ve had since we redid the backyard (realizing now i need to do a blog post with the updates too!)– but i also decided i’m going to post even the little parties i throw on here.

    not sure why i haven’t in the past — but i love entertaining more than most things– so i should be sharing them permanently here! so, starting NOW.

    home tour : allegra rose berger’s little beach bungalow


    i have to admit i’m sort of allegra’s super fan, she’s one of those people on instagram that i always click on when i see her stories on my feed. i just really like her simple beachy style and she’s also a very cute person!

    she recently moved into the cutest little beachy bungalow and it looked effortless and perfectly styled within what felt like weeks, so i begged her for a house tour and here we are! i hope you enjoy it too.

    how we conceived using mosie baby

    this post is in partnership with mosie baby

    i know everyone is different, but we have had so much luck with it that i definitely think it’s worth trying if you’ve struggled in your journey to get pregnant. Read More

    my tips for disneyland while pregnant

    we just did 2 days at disneyland with arlo (sort of a birthday trip slash pre-kindergarten slash the last time it will be just the three of us) and it was so much fun. i was nervous about a disneyland trip at 6mo pregnant in july, but it worked out*! i knew my limits and we took LOTS of breaks. having the two days helped a lot because we weren’t worried about cramming things in as much.Read More

    peach, pistachio and crispy sage pizza

    i have been getting way into making pizza the past couple months, but like all my cooking, i’ve struggled with creativity and thinking outside the standard toppings (i usually do pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions etc) but when i saw a pizza from this place mykes pizza in arizona on instagram stories, i was INSPIREEEED.

    i still haven’t made my own dough which a lot of you tell me is very easy, i’ll try it soon– i usually mix it up between dough from trader joes, the italian deli near our house, or these flatbread doughs that are insanely easy and i love a crispy flatbread crust. you can do this recipe with whatever dough you want, but i used the flatbread one.

    the first night i made it i couldn’t believe that i’d hyped it up so much in my head and it lived up to it. it was super delicious and so easy, and seems fancy enough to serve as a fun appetizer for entertaining too. the next time i made it, i decided to go a lot heavier handed with all the ingredients and i can’t recommend that enough! the bites that have all three toppings are the best bites, and you bought all the ingredients so you might as well cover that pizza!! 

    peach, pistachio and crispy sage pizza

    this peach, pistachio and crispy sage pizza is a nice flavor alternative if you want to switch it up from your traditional pizza toppings
    Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Ingredients  

    • pizza dough
    • olive oil
    • minced garlic
    • grated mozzarella
    • one ripe peach*
    • shelled pistachios
    • fresh sage leaves

    Instructions 

    1. preheat your oven and pizza stone. brush olive oil into your dough and spoon on a tablespoon of minced garlic to spread around. i also like to create a crust by poking around the circumference with a fork.
    2. top with mozzarella.
    3. pan fry your sage leaves for 10-30 seconds. they don't need to get dark or crispy yet, but you'll see them change in the pan. they'll crisp even more in the oven so don't overdo it!
    4. top pizza with the sage leaves, halves pistachios, and thin slices of peach. cook until crust is crispy and it looks like pizza!

    Notes

    *when peaches aren’t in season, sub butternut squash or figs

    tag me if you make it! would love to see!
