I confess that I’m a total chocoholic. So when Tessa Halstead, creative gal and second-gen chocolatier (her dad was an early pioneer of artisanal chocolate-making!) invited our team to meet at her darling Austin shop for a wine & chocolate tasting party, we couldn’t wait to make this our next field trip. Much to our tastebuds’ delight, the Chocolaterie Tessa team […]
I make a lot of homemade almond milk in my house, and though always a treat, I’m left with tons of almond pulp that I hate to throw away. I’ve been testing tons of recipes to find a viable alternative, and finally found a recipe I wouldn’t mind making at least once a week. Luckily, it’s […]
Jeanine and Jack stick to the most important ingredients when it comes to making fresh meals in their kitchen: a lot of love and a squeeze of lemon to finish. On their award-winning food blog Love & Lemons, they dish out the type of delicious recipes that we always want to make (seriously, if this site isn’t […]
All you need is love, your favorite ladies and luxurious lingerie to turn any regular afternoon into an affair to remember. And we were able to do just that with a pop-up party we hosted with the help of our friends at Flora Nuit, a brand that brings shopping for beautiful intimate apparel into the comfort of […]
ed. note: Since our entire team has fallen in love with the decadent, beautiful, and perfectly-named blog Butterlust, we invited its creator, Katie, to pop by the site once a month in an all new series called “The Sweeter Side.” She’ll be sharing at-home recipes for ending the meal (or starting the day) on a sweet note, […]
For Ashley of Gather and Feast, the people surrounding the dining table are just as important as the fresh produce and foliage adorning it. It’s hard to believe that she only recently started sharing her love for “beautiful, yet low fuss” gatherings, and in the six months since she started her blog, she’s also launched a free recipe […]
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, sweet treats, decadent chocolates, and dangerous indulgences are on our minds. And when tasked with whipping up a delicious and devilish Valentine’s treat, we knew that Libbie Summers — hostess with the mostess and author of Sweet and Viscous: Baking with Attitude — was the woman for the job. Keep reading […]
Hope y’all are having a great weekend so far! We hosted a couples’ baby shower for some good friends at our house last night, and it was so fun celebrating their soon-to-arrive bundle who will be just 6 weeks older than ours. Today will be whipping the house back into shape, doing a massive grocery […]
Did you all have a good Christmas week? I’ve got to say that Phoebe’s total obsession with Santa this year made it extra fun. I wish you could have seen her face when she discovered that he’d brought her a train set and a dollhouse just like she’d asked him. A miracle! Also, can’t believe […]
Francis Ford Coppola’s grandmother, Maria Zasa, spoke four languages – English, Italian, Arabic and French and with each sip of wine she would offer a toast, “À votre Santé” – to your health. Today, Grandma Zasa Coppola’s memory, and her celebration of family and togetherness, is honored with Coppola’s Votre Santé collection of wine. Inspired by […]
One of my favorite holiday traditions is my family’s annual Christmas party every December. We spend several days cooking and preparing our party spread, complete with my dad’s Swedish meatballs, my mom’s caramelized onion and feta cheese pizza, and my selection of seasonal desserts. Then on a Sunday night, we fill our house with dear […]
Happy weekend, lovelies! Is anyone else in slight disbelief that we’re already well into December? Next week will cap off the final stops on my book tour (in 2014, at least), and while a part of me will be glad to take a break from all the traveling, these last couple months have really been […]
