A Peek Inside Snixy Kitchen
Last updated on February 25th, 2021 When we bought our house last October, it wasn’t the first house we put an offer on – it wasn’t even the second. People told me that the house that was meant for us would find us, but I didn’t believe them. Instead I cried back, “you don’t know the Bay Area housing market!”…

With 2015 barreling its way in, I’m freaking out just a tad. With the new year, comes my very last semester of graduate school (yay!). Except that means: only one more semester to finish up this dissertation, get it signed off, and find a job. “Welcome to the real world, Sarah.” – 2015

Baked white bean and artichoke dip
Last updated on April 16th, 2019 We should probably go pick up some lottery tickets. At least the low-investment scratch-off kind. You see, we’re on a winning streak. How’d you get so lucky?
