In Season :: Sesame & Shiitake Soba Noodles

Jeanine here, and today I’m sharing my go-to meal of the moment: cold soba. I made a big bowl of this as a side dish with dinner last week, and then ate it for lunch the next two days in a row. And when I ran out, I made it again. It not only keeps […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Arugula & Blood Orange Salad

While going through photos from this Oscar Party photo shoot, I realized I’d never shared the recipe for the incredibly delicious arugula, blood orange & almond salad that we served to guests as a first course. (We collaborated with Word of Mouth on this one, and they created the most perfect dinner party menu full of […]

Bottoms Up :: Oscar Night Smash

Yesterday we capped off our office Valentine’s party by (why not?) testing recipes for awards show-worthy vodka cocktails. The Oscars are right around the corner, and even though I’m planning to be curled up on the couch in my comfy pants this year, it’s always fun to add a few small doses of glitz to […]

The Perfect Bite :: Linzer Cookies

Jess here, and suffice it to say, I do not take Valentine’s Day lightly. Today I’m dressed head-to-toe in red and pink and more than ready to get my sugar high on. No matter where you stand on this heart-filled holiday, Valentine’s Day is here and we might as well embrace it… and if you’re like me, […]

In Season :: Blood Orange & Bourbon

Does anyone else crave citrus in the winter like I do? Jeanine here, and I’ve been on a citrus kick for weeks now… first in salads, then main dishes and now, in perhaps my favorite food group of all, the cocktail. I just love how the blood oranges add natural sweetness, and also a pop of color. We drink […]

Tastemakers :: Fresa’s, Austin

I’ve been bursting with excitement to unveil the series we’ve been working on with our newest contributor, Elizabeth Winslow.

10 Best Juice Brews

In last week’s 10 Best, we rounded up some of our favorite products and appliances for the makings of a healthy home. Slide 3 pictured a Breville Juice Fountain, and while it totally fit in with the other items we spotlighted, we thought a little more credit was due to the world of juicing. Now, if […]

In Season :: Citrus Cod en Papillote

Are you all ready to get crafty with your food? This one takes just a little bit of wrapping skills… but if I had to guess, I’d say that after the holidays you’re all DIY pros, so this should be a cinch! Jeanine here, and I just love this method of cooking fish — the result is […]

On Sunday we talked about developing healthy habits (be sure to check out the comments for amazing reader suggestions), and I mentioned that one of mine is always eating a healthy breakfast. Thought I’d share the recipe for my current favorite, though the combination of ingredients changes daily depending on what I’m in the mood […]
