At the Table :: Go Indigo

EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s a fun day on the blog today: we are debuting not one, but two brand new series! When I first met Callie Jenschke, the dynamic Texan who recently moved back to Austin from NYC, I knew a creative collaboration was destined to happen. She worked for the likes of Metropolitan Home, Lonny, […]

Three Simple Summer Recipes

When it comes to eating al fresco during the dog days of summer, you have to be careful — the dishes have to be refreshing enough to not weigh you down, served cold or at room temperature to offset the blazing heat, and casual enough to match the laid-back, barefoot vibe. So when we heard […]

Morning Meals :: Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Crisps

This breakfast is somewhere between a healthy morning meal and a delicious indulgence.  It’s the perfect warm weather brunch idea, individually baked for your guests.  Breakfast crisps are perfectly sweet without giving you the sugar hangover of most pastries.  It’s best served with strong coffee and a dollop of whipped creme if you’re feeling fancy. […]

Bottoms Up :: The Kombucha Cocktail

Some of us never forget our first experience with Kombucha. I remember staring blankly at those bouncy clusters of (extremely foreign) floaters, wondering why my mom insisted that I gulp down the alien drink. Fast forward a couple years and many tangy sips later, this trendy, fermented drink has got me hooked. Whether it’s that […]

Summer Grilling Party

We fully embraced Cambria Wine‘s entertaining philosophy when planning this summer steak dinner — our gatherings are comfortable and not fussy. They really require little more than friends, food, and wine. With those three key tenants in mind we converged at a glorious two acre estate just west of downtown Austin for a garden dinner under […]

Featured On… Whole Foods Market Blog

The first day of summer may be June 21st, but I think summer came a little earlier this year! I’m already stocking my fridge with watermelon and popsicles, lathering on the sunscreen, and hopping in the pool every chance I get. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m already planning a few pool parties […]

Basil Pesto & 6 Minute Egg on Toast

The simplest breakfasts are often the most delicious. Much like the beloved avocado toast, it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to form an addiction. My boyfriend made this delicious combination for me on a whim, and since then, I can’t get enough.  It’s the perfect flavor for a light, early Summer breakfast. Ingredients: 2 large […]

What’s On Hand :: Kim Love

When I visit someone’s house, my favorite thing to do is to sneak a peak in their pantry or fridge. It’s like looking through their medicine cabinet…you can learn a lot about a person from what they keep in their crisper, not to mention getting inspired with great ideas for what to stock yourself. In […]

10 Best Quinoa Recipes

Quinoa has somehow become the health food superstar—from a rice side dish substitute to an essential element in any meal of the day (even dessert?). Some may argue that quinoa’s reign ended after its trendy introduction in 2013, but we’re still loving the creative edge that this ingredient provides on a daily basis. What’s your […]
