Mango Curd and Rice Pudding Parfaits

If there’s one thing y’all should know about me, it’s that I don’t consider myself a baker. I don’t have the patience to test five different versions of a potential recipe and experiment with how leavening agents affect a baked good. It’s not entirely my fault, I didn’t grow up in a household where baked […]

Swirled Yogurt & Smoothie Bowl

photos by kristen kilpatrick Now that I’m eating breakfast more often, I’m faced with a new conundrum: how to make my morning meal healthy, quick, and most importantly, not boring. Since smoothies check all the boxes, I make one for brekkie most days of the week, but sometimes I just don’t want to drink my breakfast, ya […]

Anti-Inflammatory Berry + Turmeric Muffins

For many years, I focused on health and wellness in terms of achieving a certain look. I was convinced that if I looked a certain way, it would make me feel a certain way. Wellness was synonymous with appearance and, well, in the end it resulted in unhealthy habits and a lack of a holistic […]

Autumn Harvest Breakfast Bowls

Fall food obsession has hit me hard. Warm spices, hot apple cider, pumpkin lattes (guilty), soup and grilled cheese — you name it, it’s on the list. Unfortunately, Texas weather hasn’t quite caught up with my cravings for cozy cuisine. Most mornings, I find myself sorting through my closet, sadly pushing aside my sweaters and […]

HONEY NUT & CINNAMON GRANOLA

I looove honey for its complex flavor and versatility – I add a spoonful to everything from my morning coffee to my favorite vegetarian chili. We use it daily at our house, so when the National Honey Board asked me to team up to create some ‘Golden Moments’ throughout the month of September for National Honey Month, I […]

Summer Herb & Caramelized Onion Frittata

Editor’s Note: This recipe was brought to us by Alison Wu. She recently hosted us for a health-inspired brunch at her Portland home, and we’ve been obsessed with her Instagram account for quite some time — I mean, have you seen her layered smoothies?! #goals Today, Alison is sharing with us her go-to recipe for a summer […]

Quinoa Breakfast Bowl With Saffron-Poached Peaches

This might come as a shock, but I loathe oatmeal. I know, I know: it’s staple breakfast and a great way to get some whole grains into your diet, but there’s just something about the goopy texture and flavor that I can’t get over. I’ve even given overnight oats a try and still no success in jumping on […]

We’re Calling It: These 8 Breakfast Trends Are the New Avocado Toast

It seems like lately, breakfast itself is a “trend,” with chefs from coast-to-coast (and even here in Austin) flexing their creative muscle at the first meal of the day — and the blogosphere is equally obsessed. On my last trip to LA, it felt like every meal presented me with options that were vegan, heirloom, adaptogenic, […]

Olive Oil & Orange Blossom Muffins

SOS. Quick! Send plane tickets and weekender bag, all I can think about is escaping on vacation. Every year, when I’ve recovered from the aftermath of the holidays and the weather begins to warm up (yes, that happens in February down here in Austin), I find myself daydreaming more than usual; my thoughts drifting towards […]

Raspberry & Ricotta Crêpes with Fresh Berries

I’ll never forget my first crêpe: it was sophomore year, and my high school French teacher, Ms. Baysinger,  brought a burner to class and taught us how to make the the classic version that we stuffed full of nutella and whipped cream. I remember feeling so sophisticated as I swirled the batter in the pan, yielding […]

Pistachio Orange Blossom Biscotti

Biscotti are one of those special weekend treats that I don’t eat nearly as often as I’d like. There’s something about a morning “biscuit” with a coffee or a latte that feels so much more luxurious than a bowl of oatmeal. These biscotti are perfectly nutty with just the right amount of crunch. Not to mention, […]
