You guys, how gorgeous is this super textural bun on Cristina?

The Perfect Bite :: Lemon Bars
With springtime officially upon us, I seem to unload a bounty of citrus from my shopping bags after every visit to the market… to the point where my kitchen is literally overflowing. Fortunately, I’ve discovered a tasty solution to my citrus abundance: lemon bars! I baked these in an 8″ baking dish rather than the typical… read more
Bottoms Up :: Jalapeño Vodka Lemonade
Over the last two years, I’ve been working hard to build up my heat tolerance. Which means going out for Indian food at least once a week and ordering bottomless jalapeño lemonades at The Living Room, of course. In the process, I’ve acquired such a taste for everything fiery that I thought it due time I created… read more

My Life Styled :: Beach Babe
If the words “pool party” causes you even the least amount of anxiety, you’re in good company. We spend nine months out of the year choosing the most flattering cuts and silhouettes for our bodies and then, come May, we’re asked to bare all!

Tuesday Tastings :: Spring Vegetable Frittata
I have a theory that the frittata is, quite possibly, the most versatile dish on the planet. It’s equally perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there’s really no better way to use up any squash, onion, bell pepper or herb languishing in the vegetable drawer. At the Mother’s Day brunch we threw with Hayneedle last… read more

Monochromatic Monday :: Denim Daze
If you’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the latest in fashion, you’ve probably noticed that denim is back, baby, and in a major way. In fact, as I type, I’m wearing denim cutoffs paired with a classic Levi’s jacket that I borrowed from Jenn (which I’m afraid she’ll have to tear from… read more
What’s Your Guest-of-the-Wedding Style?
If there’s one item I’ve shopped for relentlessly year after year, it’s that ever-elusive perfect dress to wear to a wedding. For many of us, weddings have become one of the only times as adults that we really get to wear something formal. It’s fun to get dressed up, but with so many guidelines to… read more
10 Best :: Ways to Eat Okra
Until only a few years ago, I was a complete okra-hater… that sliminess was simply unforgivable to me. Then by some culinary miracle (in other words, a greasy helping of freshly fried okra with heaps of ketchup) something changed, and the little green pods are now a go-to choice anytime I spot them on a menu.… read more
