day 63 and day 64.

Act of self-love: Love and celebrate your friends

Another Epic Weekend.

I spent so much time this weekend loving in some of the best ways I know how.

Two femme friends had birthdays on Sunday, and I baked up a storm all weekend in their honor. Cooking and baking are so important to me, and if I make food for you, it is truly because you mean the world to me. Food is one of the greatest ways I know how to nurture those I care about; it fills me up to no end.

For Jenny, on her 30th birthday: Triple Citrus Cupcakes

 

(recipe from the Martha Stewart cupcake cookbook)

For Devra, one of my favorite femme Jews: Hamantaschen!

 

(dough recipe from Smitten Kitchen, this is my first time making them, I think they’ll be even better with some slight modifications next time)

I made strawberry, apricot, and my personal fave poppyseed. They look like jewels.

The weekend was otherwise filled with so much good food, bouncing on trampolines, laughter, joy. I feel like my life is bursting at the seams right now in all the best ways possible.

I’m loving it.
