A Healthier Happy Hour
I think a case could be made for 2014 being named “The Year of Juicing.” It seems that everyone and their mom has tried some kind of juice cleanse (try being the operative word, since only the brave make it to the bitter end), and even for those of us who haven’t taken the plunge, the […]
A Fitness Guru’s Weekly Food Journal
Between being a mom to her two toddlers and running iGnite, a holistic health and fitness program in Austin, that boasts an impressive lineup of sometimes as many as nine classes in a day, life is busy for Neissa Brown Springmann (photo by Nicole Mlakar). We asked this fit mama if she would keep a food […]
Morning Meals :: Raspberry Almond Muffins
I know most people spend their mornings rushed with a quick pastry and coffee-to-go. As much as that seems easy and convenient, gluten-free pastries are not widely available everywhere…so I am usually stuck making my own. Luckily, these homemade muffins are incredibly addicting. They will keep you full longer than the average muffin (thanks to […]
Tuesday Tastings :: Turkey Koftas with Zucchini Ribbons & Chimichurri
Over the weekend, we had a few friends over to jump in the pool and fire up the barbecue, and all of a sudden I remembered why May is my favorite month of the year. There’s something so thrilling about an entire summer stretching ahead, with Memorial Day cookouts and lazy days by the pool […]
Butter Coffee: Miracle Drink or Crazy Health Fad?
When a tall, willowy beauty tells you she’ll spill the secret behind her svelte bod, high energy levels, and glowing skin, well, you get ready to take notes. Then, when she tells you that it all started when she began drinking coffee made with grass-fed butter, you stop and say… Huh?! (at least if you’re me.) That’s what […]
Tuesday Tastings :: Chocolate Pharmacy
I must admit I was skeptical when I first read about Chocolate Pharmacy’s new product—chocolate without soy, gluten, dairy or sugar! But, they had me at first bite…Jyl Kutsche and Amy Pancake, two vivacious yogis put their heads (and tastebuds) together to create eight raw chocolate flavors, each with a delightfully unexpected spice combination for […]
The Super Foodie :: Cranberry Almond Granola Bites
One of my favorite go-to snacks is granola, and these almond cranberry granola bites hit just the right spot! The mix of a little bit of sweet with the salt, nutty almond flavor—it’s just perfection. And they’re healthy, of course! This recipe is quick to throw together and makes a large batch…but be warned, they […]
Morning Meals :: Coconut Walnut Oat Bars
We all love a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning, but sometimes its nice to switch it up. What can be better than coconut oat bars with tart raspberry preserves? This delicious breakfast can be eaten warm, cold, at home or on the go. Raspberry preserves were my first choice, but feel free to […]
Tuesday Tastings :: Kale, Orange & Hazelnut Salad
Although kale salads could probably win the prize for “trendiest food of 2014,” when I stumble across a really great one, I can’t help but become obsessed. A couple weeks ago, it happened again at the Mother’s Day brunch that we hosted at my house with Minted. Word of Mouth prepared the mouthwatering spread, and […]
Artist Spotlight :: Ashley Woodson Bailey Photography
Flowers have such a fleeting beauty; we’re reminded as they wilt of how quickly things fade. Photographer Ashley Woodson Bailey is on a mission to remedy the petal problem, and she’s doing it with her camera. Enter flower photography, an art Ash has been cultivating since she fell in love with les fleurs at age […]
Little Things :: Making Maracas
Springtime in Austin always means sitting outside listening to live music. SXSW comes and goes like a whirlwind, but really, this city is always about those things and in the Spring we just get to enjoy them more often. In the spirit of our musical town and the upcoming Cinco de Mayo festivities, I thought […]

Asian Sesame Chicken Salad
A Chinese chicken salad is one of those things that if I spot it on a restaurant menu, I’ll probably order it. There’s something about the crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado and bright taste of cilantro that makes it one of my favorite flavor combinations. I’ve had my go-to version that I’ve made at home for […]

Easter brunch doesn’t have to be all about hiding eggs this year. Our Spring-y scramble is a perfect light and bright breakfast for the upcoming holiday, and we promise your guests will love it, too.
