Hot dog! The Ultimate 4th of July Spread
I’ll let you in on a little insider secret: we’re kind of obsessed with hot dogs.

A Colorful Summer Seafood Boil
It’s finally starting to feel like summer in Austin, which means lots of outdoor parties with light and fresh food on the menu. I love setting big platters on the table and serving guests family-style, and nothing says “help yourself” like a backyard seafood boil. I’m a sucker for themed parties and when I couldn’t find the […]
Summer Backyard Movie Night
I went to an all girls camp in the Texas hill country, and some the best memories of my summers there were the nights designated for outdoor movies.
