Blood Orange & Beet Salad from Athena Calderone’s Must-Read Cookbook

I’m one of those weird people who read cookbooks like novels; I can stay up into the night earmarking pages of recipes I want to try and planning imaginary party menus around them. Ever since I got my hands on the beautiful new cookbook by my friend Athena Calderone, founder of lifestyle site EyeSwoon, it’s […]

Butternut Squash, Spinach, & Goat Cheese Pasta

Since we embraced the opportunity to go a little less traditional with the food at our Friendsgiving Feast, a meatless main with major fall vibes felt like just the ticket since it made my vegetarian friends happy — and ensured that we didn’t overdose on turkey before Thanksgiving actually rolls around. This butternut-squash-pasta with spinach […]

The Best Brussels Sprouts Dish You’ve Ever Had – Bacon Included

The thing about brussels sprouts is – they can be so good, or so very, very bad. Depending on the preparation, you could end up with roasted sprouts that are charred and crispy-caramelized on their leafy edges, or steamed sprouts that are mushy and watery (eww.) And then there’s the seasoning to think about, because […]

Pumpkin Channa Masala

We’re deep into pumpkin season and I think we can all admit that as cliché as the flavor can be this time of year, we still love it. There’s just something so perfect about opening up a can of that bright orange fruit to bake up a good ‘ole pumpkin pie, cake, or bread that makes […]

If Making Pie Scares You, This Plum & Thyme Tart Is for You

While I’m not totally freaked out by the idea of making pie from scratch (Callie helped demystify it here and showed us how to decorate it here), let’s just say that it still feels like a big production for me. One that I’d attempt when I have a long, lazy Sunday afternoon ahead of me, or maybe for […]

This Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Is Your Fall Breakfast Solution

It’s easy to make fun of the omnipresence of pumpkin spice everything at this time of year; sometimes it feels like it’s hard to step outside without getting a whiff of those familiar fall flavors, much less sit in a coffee shop. But if we’re being honest, can we just all agree that it’s a cliché […]

Wine Poached Plum & Almond Cake

Fall is finally upon us! After one very long, hot summer, I can’t help but feel immense joy at the thought of the cozy sweater-wearing months ahead of us. I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the case last year and the year before that, too, but somehow, each year the anticipation and excitement […]

How This Italian Restaurant Brings a Taste of the South to its Menu

When Chanel and I were on our whirlwind trip to Charleston last month, we fell completely in love with the design, the owners, and of course, the incredible food, at Italian spot Le Farfalle. At first glance, one could easily mistake its modern interiors for those of a buzzy Italian restaurant in New York or San Francisco: soaring […]

This Pozole Recipe Will Spice Up Your Next Date Night In

Living in Austin, I eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food. Fajitas, guacamole, and margaritas (obvi) are on rotation around here, but one signature south-of-the-border dish I never really got into was pozole, a thick stew made with hominy, shredded pork, chiles, and lots of toppings. All that changed on last month’s trip to Charleston […]

12 Healthy Breakfast Recipes That’ll Help You Get Out the Door Fast

We’ve talked a lot around here about making the morning a happier, more peaceful time that sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. And I’m still a major believer in that, but y’all: it has really been put to the test since Phoebe started kindergarten last week. Fitting in a morning meditation and a […]
