Oop jk it’s for me!

First test photo 🤭 bringing some southern charm back up north with this one. Also multiple captions are so fun who knew?

Requisite cross-section shot: the toasty buttermilk and chive crust is STURDY, but still super flaky and tender. In this house we par-bake the right way!!

I didn’t post much from the tour, so here’s some highlights from what y’all helped make the time of my life 😭 thank you to all the friends, family and cookie monsters that came out with undying support. i’m still reeling and I love you all!! 💞💪 taken in Team USA by @vaughn

❤️‍🔥february monthly bake❤️‍🔥 one of my favorite desserts in nyc, now available on demand! the chocolate mousse with candied hazelnuts from @penny_newyork rendered me speechless when I first had it. (a feat in and of itself!) it’s like deconstructed nutella and I think you should make it for the people you love 💗 

if you subscribe to my newsletter, Bake Time, you get this recipe (and every monthly bake) for FREEEEE, plus many more ramblings from this sordid mind of mine 🤪

thank you chef @joshuaj88 and @phoebegng for bestowing me with your secrets!! gorgeous shots by a fave duo of mine, @linda.xiao and @rebeccajurkevich 🥰 taken in Penny NY by @vaughn

they let me outside!! I shred (and didn’t fall!); I ate red meat for every meal; I claimed the après ski lifestyle as my own (no longer stolen valor, see: aforementioned shredding); I witnessed two good friends lock in for LIFE; and I only endangered two lives along the way (one was mine, the other didn’t break up with me). giddy freakin up!!! 🤠🐎 taken in Jackson Hole, Wyoming by @vaughn
