Here we go, a new year, a new spark of motivation. After a year of an indefinite pandemic, two layoffs and several bouts of depression, I am glad to be on this side of 2020; however, after hardly a week into 2021 I’m already slightly concerned to see what this year holds… One thing I …
Welcome back to the Gourmet Gilmore: Quaratine Edition! I have loved reading all of the theories going around on my many Gilmore groups I am a part of on Facebook. It definitely seems like something the girls have been training for throughout the series: endless snacking and movie watching, the only time you leave the …

Sometimes a brief hiatus is needed to seek some inspiration (and quail eggs!) but after a few months off and quite a few muffins later, I’m back in the game. After so many eggs (and the disappointment that was Michel’s egg white omelette) I was happy to move on to something with a little weight …
Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. I’m starting to really feel Lorelai’s pain and am ready for this double date to end! We’re on the final recipe for episode 1.12 – Double Date – Sookie’s strawberry tart. Let’s first acknowledge that when polled on my Instagram stories, all but ONE person said if they …
Let’s continue our double date from hell, shall we? Our last recipe occurred pre-date with Sookie whipping meringue for a variation on baked Alaska for dessert at the Inn, which I decided must have been Hawaiian Alaska since it’s basically impossible to make it in the shape of the states themselves. Once Sookie and Jackson …
What a crazy couple of weeks it has been! It seems like just yesterday was June 3rd, am I right? Unfortunately June 4th, we learned that my sweet Aunty Becky had passed away unexpectedly in her sleep, so the past two weeks have kind of been a blur preparing for her funeral and spending time …
Sometimes life can be hard. I think all of us die-hard GG fans can relate to the idea of Stars Hollow being a place where there’s a sense of contentment. Not in the sense that these characters never have any problems (we’ve obviously seen evidence against that in the series), but something about the town …
Back on track! After a blowout graduation party complete with a tassel hat and margaritas, it’s time to head back to episode 1.08 Love and War and Snow to look into one of the most iconic Sookie recipes of the series next to macaroni and cheese with a jalapeno-chipotle cream sauce. I know this recipe …
Another episode of recipes down! This week we finish with Sookie’s “real fruit puffs” brought to Cinnamon’s wake at Morey and Babette’s. Wrapping up a lot happens at the end of this episode! We see Max attempt to pick up Lorelai for their first official date, Rory finding Max at their front door instead and …
We’ve officially made it through episode 1.03 – Kill Me Now! Instagram voted, and Sookie’s Chocolate Cake won over Kiwi Ice Cream. Honestly, I have never been a huge fan of chocolate cake other than on our collective office birthday celebration at work. Any form of sugar goes at 2 pm on a weekday afternoon. …
