Heirloom Tomato Toast
Finally: tomato season is in full swing! The farmer’s market is bursting with the most beautiful array of heirloom tomatoes and I want to use them on everything. Besides simple summer salads & no-cook sauces, toast is my favorite way to eat tomatoes this time of year. They don’t need much – just some garlic, olive oil […]
Dark Chocolate & Coffee Ice Cream
*editor’s note: Constantly having to stare at mouthwatering, indulgent desserts on a computer screen is a tough job. And when that dessert happens to be the product of all my favorite flavors, it can feel like complete torture. Enter this beauty by Megan Giller: the undeniable marriage of chocolate and coffee, in the form of two decadent scoops of ice cream. […]
Plum & Blueberry Hand Pies with Lavender Crust
We’re at the point in the year where, down here in Texas, things really start to heat up. The sun is scorching hot, you can most definitely fry an egg on the sidewalk (or maybe even an entire chicken…not that I’ve tried), and nobody dares to venture outside without a liberal coating of sunscreen and […]
Golden Eye Iced Coffee
There are few things in life I love more than a breakfast date, and (as you’ve probably noticed from my Instagram feed) there’s one spot in town that dominates my pre-noon rendezvous. Josephine House is a charming bungalow in Austin’s equally charming Clarksville neighborhood, and its whitewashed wood, marble countertops, breezy patio, and perfect pastries make […]
Sweet Potato, Avocado & Quinoa Bowl
If I’m eating lunch at my desk, most days it looks something like this: a healthy grain like quinoa or farro leftover from last night’s dinner, plus whatever cooked veggies I have on hand, some raw greens and usually some chopped up avocado because, let’s face it: avocado makes everything better. A sprinkle of herbs, […]

Zucchini Chevre Tartines with Fruit Salsa
My family is pretty understanding about my food obsessions. After all, they are the happy beneficiaries of some pretty great meals, so they don’t complain when I map our travel according to farmers’ market schedules and restaurant hours. We’ve taken some epic road trips and loved every bite along the way. This summer, I think […]
Is Riesling the New Rosé?
Move over Rosé, there’s a new summer wine on the scene. It’s a bold claim, we know, but ever since our recent Riesling tasting a few weeks ago, every member of our team is a total convert. Sure, it could have been the picturesque scene at Jeffrey’s that had us feeling fuzzy, or the guidance of […]
Avocado Carpaccio
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my new favorite summer dish… and if you’re a lover of refreshing, amazing seasonal produce, I get the feeling it’s going to be yours too. Inspired by a dish served at one of my most beloved neighborhood Mexican joints, this avocado carpaccio, in its essence, is really just a […]

Banana Split Shortcake
One of my favorite memories from growing up was when my mom would surprise us on a random weeknight with the announcement: “Banana splits for dinner!” She’d set out bowls with bananas and vanilla ice cream, then all the accompaniments: homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, fresh berries, toasted pecans, strawberry sauce, and of course, cherries […]
