Turmeric Tea Latté

I’ve been really into using turmeric lately, both for its health benefits (it’s long been used for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties) and the distinctive gingery flavor it brings to dishes. Since my favorite drink of the summer was the Golden Eye, I decided it was time to experiment with creating a warming winter version that would […]

Holiday Cocktail Party

Who doesn’t love a good holiday cocktail party? It’s the perfect excuse to don something sparkly and pretend to be fancy show your sophisticated side. But as anyone who’s hosted such a fête can attest, what sounds like it should be easier to throw than a dinner party can actually end up being way more stressful when all […]

Chai French Toast

The holiday season calls for a few indulgences, and now that December’s upon us we only have a few more weeks to let loose. (By the time January rolls around, I don’t even want to lay eyes on holiday cookies or a traditional turkey dinner spread!) I’m ready to kickoff the month with something really festive, so this chai-infused french […]

Is This The Healthiest Thanksgiving Dessert Ever?

Confession: I don’t love pie. I know I know, it’s criminal, especially this time of year, but in my hierarchy of desserts, pie doesn’t even come close to being the top of the pyramid. So around Thanksgiving, you can usually find me getting my pumpkin fill and satisfying my sweet tooth in other ways… these ridiculous pumpkin spice cinnamon […]

No-Bake Pumpkin Mascarpone Pie

I think we can all agree that no Thanksgiving dessert table is complete without pie. Pumpkin, pecan, apple; no matter what your preference, it’s not Thanksgiving without a decadent slice to complete the day’s feast. But between the turkey, stuffing, and array of homemade casseroles and side dishes that grace our table every year, it […]

Vegetarian Thanksgiving

I have so many friends who are vegetarian these days (including my sister-in-law who usually stays with us during the holidays), and there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to feast as heartily as everyone else on Thanksgiving. With a main course like this acorn squash stuffed with quinoa, pumpkin seeds and kale, I’d almost consider skipping […]

Slow-Cooker Chicken & White Bean Chili

We finally (!!!) just had our first semi-chilly day in Austin, and you should have seen our team… Decked out in scarves, boots, and turtlenecks, you would have thought we were experiencing an arctic blast, when it was actually just under 60 degrees. It’s amazing how the changing temps cause such a shift in what I’m […]
