In my book, there’s only one thing better than coffee… and that’s coffee paired up with its most beloved cookie, the biscotti. As an out-and-proud coffee fiend, this twice-baked orange & almond biscotti has upped the ante in my morning mug meeting. It’s bright with orange zest and extra nutty with almond flour and slivered… read more

DIY :: Beaded Summer Skewers
There’s no arguing the fact that when it comes to stylish entertaining, the smallest details can make a big impact. At our Cinco de Mayo fiesta last week, guests kept oohing and aahing over the fun, festive skewers we used to serve fresh watermelon with feta cheese. And I’ve got to admit, there’s no better… read more
Happy (Half)Birthday to Phoebe!
Last week we celebrated Phoebe’s half birthday… I can’t believe our darling girl is 6 months old! The other day I read a quote that said “The days are long, but the years are short,” and boy is that true with a baby. Some days (especially if she’s having a fussy afternoon) the hours seem… read more
The Perfect Bite :: Candy Corn Cookie Bites
I don’t know about you, but I (Jess) couldn’t possibly be more excited about Halloween this year. I cannot soak up this holiday enough. In the midst of planning my matching black cat costume with my niece, Sophie, I’ve been baking all kinds of decorative desserts and I’ve come to but one conclusion… forget all… read more
Monochromatic Monday:: Tangerine Popsicles
Morning lovelies! Hope that all of you had a great weekend – I can’t even begin to recount the events of the last two days (two Father’s Day celebrations, brother’s 30th birthday and a baby christening all made appearances), but by far the most memorable was the baby shower that six of my favorite girls hosted for… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Retro Palm Springs
Is it really Monday already?! Not sure about you, but I could definitely use one more day of weekend…so I figured the next best thing was a shiny, happy, retro inspiration board to give us all a jolt of energy (that, and a very strong cappuccino.) Have to admit that I’m multi-tasking with today’s board as… read more
12 Tastes of Christmas :: Spicy Ginger Creams
Before everyone eats themselves into cookie oblivion, I (Jess) have to add one more recipe to your must-bake list. Lately I’ve been perfecting my cookie skills, and with all this taste-testing I consider myself to be quite the connoisseur! So, you can trust me when I say that although these spicy ginger creams may not be… read more
12 Tastes of Christmas :: Candied Orange Peel
Happy Friday, everyone! You’ve joined us just in time for this next installment in our 12 Tastes Of Christmas series. Jess, the talented lady behind Forgiving Martha (or you might know her as the author of our Perfect Bite column), is back with another drool-worthy treat – and this one has me racing for the… read more
Wish I May
I immediately fell head-over-heels for these perfectly styled tables by some of my fave tastemakers (Abby Larson, Ceci Johnson and Marcy Blum, to name a few) for contemporary registry site Newlywish. In collaboration with Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton, each designer had free reign to create the table of their dreams. I’m partial to this bold,… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Jade + Citrus
When I started putting together today’s inspiration board, I thought it would be a celebration of Halloween…but when I started pulling images, I realized that at this point, I was feeling decidedly uninspired with everything having to do with the holiday. So, hope you all don’t mind if I jump ahead to November and start… read more
