Breakfast

Jam-Filled Gluten-Free Muffins

These muffins took a few tries to get just perfect because, well, gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. I wanted these to be worthy of Valentine’s Day breakfast, which means that they needed to taste moist and sweet and more indulgent than they actually are. And finally, after a few tries that didn’t […]

You’ll want to take notes on EVERYTHING you see, from the dinnerware to the artwork. So when shop owner, editor and marketing consultant Michelle Adams invited us to her home for a healthy January […]

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 […]

Dessert

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’ […]
