Happy weekend! We’re enjoying a cozy one at home, since Austin’s been flooded with rain for the past week and it doesn’t appear to be letting up. That means multiple coffee refills, veggie scrambles, painting with Phoebe, a midday barre class, organizing the pantry, and researching some upcoming travel. Did I mention that I love […]
When I set out to create a healthier version of key lime pie, I had a lot of goals in mind. First, I wanted it to be no-bake, because #August. And #Texas. Which was tough, since you can’t have key lime pie without that signature graham cracker crust. Second challenge is that I wanted it to […]
Morning y’all, happy AUGUST? (how is that possible) Today we’ve got the second installation of my What to Read, Watch, & Listen To This Month series where I basically share all the media I’m currently ingesting and loving. The past month has been a little heavy on CNN and national conventions (I’m telling you people, weirder than […]
Ever since I’ve known Chanel, she’s raved about these incredible breakfasts that her Israeli family makes, full of salads and hummus and all kinds of other savory things. One of the highlights is Shakshuka, a middle-eastern dish that’s made by poaching eggs in a flavorful tomato sauce. In today’s video, Chanel shows me how to […]
Morning, y’all! This weekend has been a bit nuts — it started on the Texas coast for Chanel’s bachelorette party in Port Aransas, and now I’m at my next stop in San Antonio for yet another girls’ getaway that just happened to fall on the same weekend. I can’t complain, but I have a feeling that it might be tough […]
It’s that time of year when I always start to feel a little nostalgic that the summer is passing by so quickly — and with it comes a desperation to eat as many tomatoes, peaches, and watermelon as is humanly possible while they’re still around! There are certain fruits and vegetables that are only good in […]
As most of us make efforts to clean up our diets and be a little kinder to the environment in the process, it’s also important to consider the products we’re putting on our bodies and bringing into our homes. Today’s post, in partnership with Seventh Generation as part of our Living Green series, is all about the simple […]
I’ve made some version of this soba noodle and mango salad for the past few summers and, without fail, people go nuts over it. Full of thai flavors like lime, peanuts and a profusion of herbs, it’s really the crunchy coconut throughout the salad that takes it over the top and makes people stop and say, […]
Not sure why it took me so long to hop on the overnight oats bandwagon, but now that I’ve discovered their brilliance, I’m fully hooked. For the uninitiated, making overnight oats requires little more than stirring together a few ingredients then letting them sit in the fridge overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, […]

In today’s video, I’m making one of my favorite things on the planet: a poké bowl made with ahi tuna and tons of fresh crunchy veggies. Poké bowls are pretty trendy right now, but I didn’t really discover the real deal until we went to Hawaii earlier this year and there was one on pretty much every […]
Morning y’all! So far, this weekend has been a sweet mix of date night, swimming with Phoebe and Henry, working on projects around the house, and a birthday dinner for a friend last night. Today’s goal is to continue that trend and hopefully feel completely rejuvenated and ready to tackle the week ahead — planning to spend […]
Do you ever feel bummed when a meal is over? That’s me about seventy-five percent of the time, partially because I’m so enthusiastic about what I’m eating that I simply never want it to end, but mostly because I ate it hurriedly and only halfway remembered to enjoy it. Does anyone else experience this? Since most of us are flying […]
I’m in my happy place right now. The middle of summer, when dinner parties require bare feet, tomatoes and peaches fill the kitchen countertops, and my most pressing weekend decision is between chilled rosé or a margarita (both, obvi.) When my friends at Bloglovin’ asked me to curate their newly relaunched Shop, I jumped at the chance […]
Sangria is one of my favorite summer drinks — it’s fruity and colorful and perfect for a party since you can mix up a huge batch the night before, then chill it and forget it while the fruit infuses it and makes it even more delicious while it sits. So, since pool parties are around […]

Last week I had a bunch of overripe peaches on my counter (they’re so good right now, I can’t resist buying them ALL at the grocery!) and instead of tossing them, I quickly peeled, sliced and popped them in the freezer. And of course the only thing left to do with them this weekend was make […]
Happy weekend, friends! What have y’all been up to? Today’s agenda consists of pool time, catching up with old family friends, perfecting my huevos rancheros recipe, and doing a little Pinterest research for a new design project I’m working on (stay tuned.) The work weeks have been so busy lately, I’ve been making a major […]
When South Congress Hotel opened its doors in Austin last year, we became instant regulars: at its fantastic restaurants, gorgeous lobby bar, adjoining boutiques, and we even threw our mega #GetHealthyGetTogether there in May. When it came time to gather friends for our latest dinner party, we took our inspiration from the enviable indoor plants that give South Congress […]
