Next in our 12 Tastes of Christmas Series, I’m honored to welcome one of my very favorite chefs and cookbook authors, Jane Coxwell. If you caught our “Entertaining With” feature on Jane and her effortless style a few months ago, you probably remember that she also happens to be the personal chef for one very chic DVF […]
Next up in our 12 Tastes of Christmas series is a super seasonal and drop-dead-gorgeous tart from Katie Meyers, the irresistibly sweet blogger behind Meyers Styles. Katie somehow managed to shoot and recipe test this lovely creation in the midst of brand new mommy-hood… Baby Maggie was born less than a month ago! Big congrats to […]
Christmas cookies… I just can’t seem to get enough this year! I had no doubts that Catherine McCord, creator of the amazing family food blog Weelicious, would have a creative, crowd-pleasing take on them, and I’m so thrilled that she’s stopped by to share in our next installment of 12 Tastes of Christmas. (And for a […]
Next up in our 12 Tastes of Christmas series is Daphne Oz — author of one of the best lifestyle books of the year, soon-to-be first-time mom and let’s be honest: one of my biggest girl crushes. (who could forget our Entertaining With feature? So stunning.) This is a gal who certainly knows how to […]
Next up in our 12 Tastes of Christmas series is a mouthwateringly decadent (and gluten-free!) recipe perfect for whipping up this Christmas morning. I have loved getting to know Beth Manos Brickey of Tasty Yummies over the blogosphere this past year… not only is she ridiculously talented, she’s just one of those people that sends off […]
So thrilled to be kicking off another lineup of “12 Tastes of Christmas” — the annual series in which we ask our favorite foodies and tastemakers around the country to stop by and share what they’ll be serving on their holiday tables this season. We have so many great ones to inspire all kinds of culinary […]
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 […]
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 […]
Last night I kicked off a little menu planning for some holiday gatherings that are already popping up on my calendar: an open-house style party, family celebrations and of course our team’s annual holiday fête. When it comes to this crazy festive time of year, I require a lot from my hors d’oeuvres: they need […]
‘Tis the season for cozy drinks that warm chilly hands just in from the cold… and warm insides with a toasty shot of bourbon that’s guaranteed to get the festivities started. It was only recently that I tasted my first hot toddy, and I couldn’t believe that it combined the comforting flavors of my daily […]
At approximately 9 a.m. every morning, rain or shine, you can find me in the Starbucks line with a Gold Card in hand. While it’s not often that I stray from my routine iced vanilla latte, earlier this week I found myself craving a rich, frothy, cinnamon-y cup of nostalgia. Alas, the infamous pumpkin spice latte was calling […]
Rise and shine! With the hustle and bustle of the workweek, I find that the weekend is the time when I’m really able to wake up slowly, conceptualize and create my favorite breakfast, and devour it alongside a piping hot cup of coffee. What does my ideal breakfast look like, you ask? There are two […]
Jess here, and I don’t know about you, but I’m already dreaming of the perfect finalé to the holiday dinner. This open-faced pastry studded with cranberries and walnuts looks, smells and tastes just like Christmas. Add a dollop of whipped cream or, heck, a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you may as well pull out all […]
Next up in our 12 Tastes of Christmas series is a gorgeous holiday first-course from Béatrice Peltre, the culinary creative behind La Tartine Gourmande. I’m continually wow’d by Béa’s beautiful photography and the drool-worthy recipes I’m dying to sample, and I’m so thrilled that she popped in with this salad stunner that’s perfect for kicking off […]
I don’t know about you, but I (Jeanine) am not sure how the Christmas season snuck up so fast this year! Holiday parties are in full swing and I haven’t baked one cookie, shopped for one gift… and I have a tree somewhere in a storage unit (I’m allergic to the real thing). So, today, I have […]
Preparing and gifting holiday treats is one thing I look forward to every holiday season, and this Rosemary Pecan Bark is my current go-to dessert for making and sharing in a pinch! I always have an extensive holiday “to-bake” list of everything I want to make during the season, but thanks to the frantic schedule at this […]
I just can’t shake off that Christmas spirit. As soon as December 1st arrived, the kids opened their chocolate Advent calendar and I started unpacking the Christmas ornaments stored in the attic. I had been eyeing the packed boxes for weeks, patiently waiting for the right moment. I couldn’t wait to meet our old friends again: […]
Our 12 Tastes of Christmas series has become an annual tradition here on the blog, when some of the most talented and inspiring food people on the planet stop by to share their holiday favorites in the weeks leading up to the 25th. I can’t think of a better person to kick off this year’s smorgasbord […]
So how did you all do yesterday? Hopefully you saw successes on all fronts, and that Thanksgiving meal you slaved over turned out just the way you’d planned. As the most gluttonous holiday of the year would have it, our refrigerator is overflowing with leftovers. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t totally see […]
Aside from the crisp weather and family time, I think a big part of what makes Thanksgiving (and all holidays, for that matter) so special is the tradition that that gets passed down each year… especially when it comes to the food. Of course it’s hard to argue with time-tested seasonal ingredients, but I love […]
