It is June, one of my favorite months – Pride Month! While I am lucky and privileged to be out and proud, this is a month for everyone discovering who they are, supporting those they love, and cheering each other on. LGBT pride was started with a riot, and we have fought hard to get […]
May is blooming all over the place! The Bay Area is a riot of colors and smells right now. Everything is redolent with spring, and I love it. I stick my face in pretty much every flower I pass which means it takes me quite a bit longer to get places these days. So, I […]
Mother’s Day is here! Did you know the best way to show Mom how much you care is with chocolate? Specifically, gourmet and beautiful chocolates! The Mother’s Day box is even better than flowers, because they are a bouquet in of themselves (…or get her a bouquet and some flowers because she deserves lots of […]
February is here and love is in the air! I think many people associate this month with Valentine’s Day. Love or hate the holiday, it is definitely a very chocolate centric day. It is a day all about showing someone(s) how much you you care, and treating them to delicious treats. It is also one […]
Well hello 2023! It’s gonna be the zest year yet! In case the puns haven’t tipped you off, the theme this month is citrus. There are some common citrus (lemon, lime, and orange) and a couple that you may not be familiar with! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. I love […]

This is the time of fireplaces blazing, lots of family and friends gathered round, and drinking warm things. The flavors this month […]
June is Pride Month, and the flavors are full of love!
November is the start of true “winter” here in California. It starts to drop below 70°F in late October, and we start getting some rain. By November, we are downright cold with the temperatures staying around 67°F and getting at least a few days of rain for the month. Truly, winter is rough here. This […]
October: the spookiest month of the year! Witches fly through the sky, carved pumpkins host grotesque smiles, and monsters roam everywhere. Or, you know, the continuation of pumpkin spice everything. I curated the flavor this month to be very fall appropriate, with some shocking tricks in these treats! TidbitBrown Butter Miso White Chocolate Ganache Brown […]
“Do you remember, the 21st night of September?” Earth, Wind, and Fire is certainly one of the first things I think about for this month! As fall steals over us, we here in California are getting ready for the start of wildfire season, pretending like it is getting colder, and waxing poetic about how lovely […]
October has got to be one of the most fun months, right? Halloween can be as scary or as silly as you decide, and it
