Bottoms Up :: Blueberry & Ginger Smoothie

You should probably know that as I type this, my lips are smurf-blue… and it has nothing to do with the wintry temps outside and everything to do with the very tall glass of this blueberry & ginger smoothie I just downed. I’ve been doing my own modified (i.e. less hardcore) version of a detox […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Barley Risotto with Root Vegetables

Today’s installment of Tuesday Tastings is brought to us by the fabulous Liz McAvoy — foodie, fashion lover and author of What Dress Code?. Since we’re all about healthy eating and fresh starts this month, we knew we could turn to the lifelong pescatarian for a resolution-friendly recipe that’s also hearty and delicious. From Liz: Risotto […]

The Super Foodie :: Miso Glazed Eggplant

When I spotted these tiny eggplants at the farmer’s market, I just knew I had to have them at my next dinner table! Roasted with a sweet miso glaze, they’re as tasty as they are adorable. I prefer chickpea miso but if you can’t find it, a sweet yellow miso will work as well! In […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Coconut Carrot Soup

I’ve finally faced the facts that I, for one, cannot live on liquids alone (sayonara, juice cleanse!)… but I do think there’s something to be said about giving our bodies a digestive break and tapping into the healing properties of a liquid meal once in a while. Of course, when temps are as chilly as […]

Pumpkin & Gingersnap Pie

Are you more of a pumpkin, pecan or apple pie kinda gal? (and yes, “all of the above” is a totally acceptable answer.) Although I wouldn’t pass up any of them if offered, pumpkin pie (which to me is the pure essence of fall) is probably my most eagerly anticipated item on the Thanksgiving menu. And […]

13 Best Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes

Today I’m thankful that I made it through putting this slideshow together without heading out to the nearest grocery store for a giant ready-made turkey. I’m not the biggest meat-lover, but combing through the internet in search of these recipes quickly had my mouth watering at the thought of next week’s smorgasbord. How are you […]

Tequila-Lime Fish Tacos

For this edition of In Season, I’m hereby declaring it Tequila Season (I was going to say taco season, but for those of us in Austin, taco season is really a year-round celebration). I can’t think of any better way to beat the summer heat than with a bright, zesty serving of fish tacos. I start […]

10 Best Blueberry Recipes

My family moved to Missouri when I was 9, and some of my favorite childhood memories are heading to the nearest “U-Pick” farm, spending hours out in the blueberry fields filling our baskets, and leaving with even fuller bellies from all the snacking we did along the way. These days I do most of my […]

10 Best Taco Recipes

How do we love tacos? Let us count the ways… but then again, it’s virtually impossible to quantify. With Cinco de Mayo just two days away, we thought we’d dust off our recipe collection for some of our all time favorites. If you’re entertaining this Sunday (or any time this summer), we love the idea […]

How to Make Your Own Caramelized Nuts

How many of y’all go as crazy as I do for those crunchy candied walnuts that are in so many great restaurant salads… or constantly  buy them from the cheese counter at the grocery to accompany appetizers? Well, betcha didn’t know that it’s just as easy to make your own at home, and dare I […]
