My Favorite Picnic Baskets

June 20, 2019 Vivian Lee Hu

To celebrate the first day of summer tomorrow, I’m sharing some of my favorite picnic baskets. It’s the perfect time to head to the farmer’s market and enjoy a picnic outdoors in the company of good friends.

Glamping in Big Sur

June 19, 2019 Vivian Lee Hu

A few weeks ago, we headed to Big Sur for what felt like the most luxurious camping we’ve ever done. We started the evening by setting up a picnic meal at our table and making grilled cheese. We breakfasted at Big Sur Bakery, followed by leisurely lounging at the beach and good company around a campfire when it got dark.

Day Trip to East Bali

We woke up around four in the morning for a day trip to eastern Bali. We started the day with sunrise at the Temple of Lempuyang Luhur, followed by the beautiful pools of Taman Tirtagangga, and decadent water palaces.

Mini Chocolate Stout Bundt Cakes

One of my favorite cakes fresh from the oven is this chocolate stout cake recipe. There’s something decadent & indulgent about eating these mini cakes in the kitchen with someone special on a rainy day.

Life Lately

Over the last several weeks, we’ve gone skydiving, celebrated my husband’s birthday, gone boating on Lake Sonoma with a full picnic in tow, and worked on crafts in the shop. It’s honestly been a bit of a blur.

Under the Walnut Grove

On our way to the lake house in Kelseyville, we saw these endless fields of white flowers under the walnut grove. We stopped by around golden hour to explore and take in the beautiful views.

Making Time for Family

I remember someone once told me that in some cultures, people tend to define themselves by their careers. We often ask someone, “What do you do?” the first time we meet. But in other parts of the world, we ask them who they are, about their family, and where they come from. So one day, as work continued getting busier, I decided I’d take a break and buy a ticket home to spend with my parents.
