Dinner at Eden Grinshpan’s Was As Amazing As We Thought It Would Be

The moment you step inside the Williamsburg home of Eden Grinsphan and Ido Nivron, your taste buds light up. The aroma of warming spices fills the air and suddenly, all you can think about is getting your hands on whatever is in that oven. The foodie is cooking up something special, and today — just a few […]

Shades of Orange

Growing up in Texas, the color orange — burnt orange specifically — has always been associated with one thing. And while I love my longhorns, I always found it especially difficult to find anything fashionable to wear to a college football game during my time as a student. At the time orange simply wasn’t a color you’d […]

17 Hot Chocolate Recipes That’ll Make You Want To Give Up Coffee

“But first, coffee,” is how most mornings start at the Camille Styles office. And as the sole member of the team who isn’t crazy about coffee (or tea for that matter), I’m usually left with nothing warm to sip on. However, when the weather starts cooling down, I finally get to break out my mugs […]

Vegan Orange Gingerbread Cookies

Cookie decorating has always been one of my favorite holiday traditions. When I was a kid, my mom would throw Christmas cookie decorating parties every December. In the center of the table she would pile mounds of homemade sugar and gingerbread dough, and my friends and I would spend hours making cookies in all shapes […]

Healthy Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Let me start by saying that ice cream and iced coffee are two of my favorite things on the planet. So winter’s arrival always leaves me in a bit of a predicament: do I abandon icy treats until warmer temps arrive? It just doesn’t seem right. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the sidewalk during the […]

Inside the Holiday Dinner Party I co-hosted with Target + Camila Alves

Especially leading up to the holidays, the home decor section of Target is truly my happy place. It drives Adam completely crazy when we run in to grab one necessity, then an hour later roll out our grocery cart laden down with Christmas ornaments, wrapping paper, holiday candles, clothes for the kids, and usually some […]

A Swanky Cocktail Party to Toast the New Year

It feels like a new hot spot opens in Austin every weekend (because it does), and our list of must-try restaurants is starting to get a bit out of control. After checking out Eberly’s bar for Landrie’s birthday bash last month, we were smitten, and couldn’t wait to get back to try their contemporary American cuisine in that stunning midcentury dining room. For our most recent girls’ […]

This Surprising Ingredient will Reinvent Your Cheese Board

If you asked Instagram, 2016 could have been the year of the cheese board. And is it any surprise? Few culinary creations are as photogenic as a big wood cutting board brimming with colorful cheeses, fruits, meats (and lots more if you get creative), and I’ve got to admit, it’s a trend I don’t think I’ll get […]

Candice Kumai Will Inspire To Host a Festive Holiday Brunch

The other day, my morning spin instructor played that great Alicia Keys song, Girl on Fire, and as I sweated it out and thought about some of the powerful women I knew, Candice Kumai came to mind. I’ve know this bestselling author, chef, contributor to E! News and the Today show (among others) over the […]
