    I’m convinced being an adult is just losing yourself and finding yourself over and over again. (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    When I was 22 I gave up cooking. The misogyny of chef culture paired with the uncertainty of being a young (quite frankly broke) entrepreneur with endometriosis lead me away from the thing that connected me most to myself, and that was cooking. At the time I didn’t feel like I fit in, I felt exhausted from the grind living in San Francisco and I just wanted life to feel a little less like the constant of walking uphill - which ironically I was… living without a car in SF. It’s been 12 years sinc

    The Inspo: My dad came to visit this week and he absolutely loves coffee cake with this coffee. So before he flew in, I made him this crossover that is just too ridiculous to pass up. This is a twist on my go-to gluten free banana bread recipe that is a reader favorite.
