Love is in the air!

While we might agree to disagree on a few things – okay, a lot of things – we decided to create a meal together to kick off our Valentine’s Week.

As usual, I skipped straight to dessert! But because baking is not my forte, I enlisted a friend to help craft these beautiful red velvet cupcakes. And we shared the love of eating the product to avoid a sugar high! Want to try at home? Here’s the recipe for the cupcakes and frosting.

While Pearl got her bake on, I was busy prepping our main course: smoked pulled pork BBQ. There truly is nothing like this tender, juicy goodness, especially piled up on a platter and paired with homemade margaritas including limes from our yard. Learn to do your own smoking.

Supporting Black-Owned Businesses

To honor Black History Month, we invite you to hit up one of the Bay Area’s myriad Black-owned restaurants, bakeries, and eateries. The Bay Area News Group put together a solid list, including some personal favorites like Jackie’s Place in San José.

Down Time

The holidays and first few weeks of the new year tend to be a little slow for real estate, so it’s a good time to catch up on projects you’ve been thinking about… or avoiding!

My biggest procrastination is taking down holiday decorations. There’s nothing wrong with spreading happy vibes all year round, but candy canes and Christmas trees don’t really vibe with Valentine’s Day! So I use this time to get our house back to normal.

You know where to find me whenever there’s a little down time: getting in some DIY action around the house. I just installed new bathroom cabinets, and I’m still riding high on perspiration and power tools. On to the next project… when I have the time!
