This Detox Salad Will Give you All The Spa Vibes

I have this weird thing with fruit — I don’t like it in things. I love berries and stone fruit and citrus on their own always, but when it comes to tossing those same things into a bowl with yogurt or a salad and even dessert, count me out. It’s an aversion I’ve had for as long as I can remember, […]

Click here for the 2017 #CSCleanse Menu, Recipes, & Shopping List!  Last year’s inaugural CS Cleanse was such a hit that I’ve had friends asking me on a near-weekly basis when we’ll be doing another one.

We’re Calling It: These 8 Breakfast Trends Are the New Avocado Toast

It seems like lately, breakfast itself is a “trend,” with chefs from coast-to-coast (and even here in Austin) flexing their creative muscle at the first meal of the day — and the blogosphere is equally obsessed. On my last trip to LA, it felt like every meal presented me with options that were vegan, heirloom, adaptogenic, […]

Bumbleberry Galettes with Cornmeal Crust

I was inspired to create today’s recipe, thanks to a run-in with some especially lackluster pie dough. Actually, several lackluster pies, filled with some of the tastiest, freshest fillings I’ve ever had, but surrounded by under-baked, flavorless, dry crust. The worst, right?! As I indulged in a slice of one of these said pies (we’ll leave […]

Don’t get us wrong, there’s a time and a place for alllll that, but in the interest of our ever-evolving wellness journeys, we knew we needed a […]

New Video Series! The Perfect Bite

I had so much fun teaming up with the crew from Palate Films to host the pilot for a new web series concept called The Perfect Bite. In it, we’ll be going behind-the-scenes with top chefs to uncover their inspiration and how they define an absolutely perfect bite. The first one is with one of my favorite […]

Baked Salmon with Pesto and Broccolini

One of the complaints I hear most from my single friends is that they feel completely unmotivated to cook for one. And then when the mood does strike, they find themselves over-shopping, resulting in unused groceries that go to waste altogether. I’ve totally been there, and I get it. So we thought we’d whip up a […]
