#DanielsDish : Easy to Make Pretzels

With kids back and forth in between school and no many options to “do” with them I got to thinking about what recipe I could easily cook with my niece and nephew. I remembered a pretzel recipe I learned in high school and thought it would be a bit of a messy activity we could all enjoy. For those of you who want a fun idea to do with kids, or just a delicious salty snack, this is the #DanielsDish for you!

Here’s The Real Reason Why We Go To Vancouver

Just a little more than a year ago, Julio and I were getting ready for our first trip to Vancouver together. Thinking back on lockdowns, vaccines, public health restrictions and everything that happened in between then and now, it feels like it’s been five or six years. As we inch our way towards our sixth wedding anniversary, I’m excited to share that we will be headed back to the west coast of Canada. Instead of a list of places and things to do, I thought I’d give you a heartfelt blog post about why the west coast is so special and even share the real reason why we go to Vancouver to celebrate whenever we can.

Have I spiked your curiosity yet?

And all of a sudden, it was gone …

For my fellow writers and creators, you’ll understand the stress I’m feeling lately.

The thickness in feeling stuck or going against your own current. The moment where your inspiration, energy and desire to create leaves you, and you don’t know when it will come back. Like a piece of you just stepped out for a minute and you’re left looking in the mirror, unsure of what is looking back. Maybe some of you will understand that feeling too. That moment, where all of a sudden, your spark was gone and you just felt stuck.

That Moment When I Realize I’m Almost Forty F*cking Years Old

Even writing those words feels simultaneously cathartic and strange. I think over the course of the pandemic and the past few years, I have been forced to stop and slow down in some capacities. I’ve made so many changes in the past year, let alone eight years, that I guess you could say that I’m kind of reeling from it all. In an effort to remind myself of my beauty and strength, as opposed to how I can often look at myself through a critical lens, I thought I would share thirty-eight reasons I’ll be smiling on my thirty-eighth birthday this year.
