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 […]

HONEY NUT & CINNAMON GRANOLA

I looove honey for its complex flavor and versatility – I add a spoonful to everything from my morning coffee to my favorite vegetarian chili. We use it daily at our house, so when the National Honey Board asked me to team up to create some ‘Golden Moments’ throughout the month of September for National Honey Month, I […]

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 […]

Fatoush, A Middle Eastern Panzanella

A couple weeks ago, we threw an end-of-summer dinner party with food from Israeli chef, Berty Richter (who’s bringing authentic hummus to Austin with the launch of his food truck Hummus Among Us.) Today he’s sharing his recipe for fatoush. He says: “Fatoush is a great way to use up leftover pita bread. In Israel, […]

Salad-Topped Socca Flatbread

This may not be a very popular opinion – but I haven’t been into recipes lately. With summer coming to an end, the calendar has filled up and my to-do list has nearly doubled in length, meaning the amount of time that I have to commit to making and trying fun recipes has been almost […]

How To Cook A Weekend’s Worth Of Meals In Your Vacation Rental

I’m a little late to the game, but I stayed in my first vacation rentals earlier this year, and it feels like a whole new world of travel has opened up to me. Especially when traveling with friends and kids, the ability to spread out in different rooms, hang out in our own outdoor space, and […]
