I love the feeling of waking up on New Year’s Day, full of renewed energy and hope for what lies ahead… and then, of course, promptly sitting down to one very delicious brunch. There really is no better way to kick off a brand new year than with good food and a toast or two with old […]
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 […]
Victoria is one of those rare bloggers who always seems to just get. it. right. Her “bohemian modern” style is perfectly curated without ever feeling contrived, and she’s well-loved around the blogosphere for her genuine positivity, warmth and total authenticity. (can you tell I’m a fan?) As her blog’s name suggests, Victoria is a San Fran girl […]
As warming and comforting as sweet breakfasts can be, I often crave something really crisp in the morning. You may think salad for breakfast sounds crazy, but I promise it’s the most nurturing thing to start off your day. Especially if you’ve maybe had one too many glasses of wine the night before – this […]
On a week that’s all about stocking up on as much sugar and candy as possible (Phoebe’s already practicing yelling ‘Trick or Treat!’ at her loudest) you know what’s good? A really amazing salad. This protein-packed one is full of so many colorful superfoods that it almost feels more like a power bowl than a salad, and it’s […]
Yesterday, we shared the vibrant Dia de los Muertos bash we threw with Veuve Clicquot, and today I’m dishing up the delicious recipes and sweet treats that we paired with our bubbly. I love any excuse to celebrate, and a Dia de los Muertos party just might become an annual tradition after this sunny afternoon spent with beautiful flowers, great food, and lots of Clicquot in hand to […]
I’ve always been intrigued by the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos (also Day of the Dead), which incorporates symbols that we typically think of as “creepy” like skulls and bones…but is actually a true celebration of departed loved ones and life! Instead of being dark and brooding, it’s a holiday that’s brimming with […]
Just in the same way everyone told me I should be prepared for the gigantic life changes that come with becoming a mom, it seemed that I got even more knowing looks and words of advice about getting ready for what some say is an even bigger transition — having baby number two! We welcomed […]
The fervor with which people rush to Starbucks to have their first Pumpkin Spice Latté of the season has become almost cliché; this year our neighborhood store launched it earlier than ever, and I observed customers actually sweating in the still-90 degree heat while they savored their first spicy sips. Even to a non-flavored coffee gal like […]
Even though summer’s almost over, I’m still having a complete love affair with its produce. I know our tendencies are all for heirlooms all the time, but the second I saw these plump green tomatoes, I knew there was an avocado toast in my future. It may not be battered, but these “fried” green tomatoes will […]
If you’re a regular reader, you may have caught on to the fact that Camille loves salads — she eats one for lunch most days of the work week, and is usually really, really excited about them. Typically, I’d make fun of her disproportionate salad enthusiasm, but to be totally honest, I’m the same way with my […]
I truly love a savory breakfast — it’s no secret that I always love an avocado toast (like this one!), and I’ve been wanting to share my favorite “breakfast salad” recipe on here for a while. But the produce lately has been so gorgeous, I thought I’d set aside my avocado toast for something a little more […]
