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 […]

ZA’ATAR AND HUMMUS SALMON LENTIL SALAD

I can’t take full credit for this recipe — it was inspired by an amazing dish I tried at a neighborhood café here in Austin called Epicerie. But I can say that I’ve devised an interpretation of the restaurant’s salad that truly couldn’t be easier. Got a knife? How about an oven? Great. That’s just about […]

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 […]

Lunchbox Pepper Panzanella Salad

Hope y’all had a great Labor Day weekend and soaked up plenty of those end-of-summer vibes. Although we’re definitely embracing the feeling of fall that’s suddenly in the air around here, end-of-summer produce is still in full force. Since these balmy September evenings are the perfect time to make the most of the eggplants, tomatoes, […]

Berry Frosé Popsicles

A wise person once said rosé until Labor Day. And while I can’t remember where or from whom I picked up this little piece of advice, I took it to heart. My summer has been filled with rosé: sparking, chilled, sometimes from a red solo cup, more often from my favorite antique wine glass on […]

Moroccan Carrot Ribbon Salad With & Orange-Tahini Dressing

As much as I’ve tried to expose my kids to adventurous flavors from birth, let’s just say that at this present moment, their tastes veer more towards spaghetti than smoked salmon, and quesadillas will always win out over kale salad. Don’t think for a second that I’m giving up, however – Phoebe and Henry still […]
