Can you believe Monday is the official first day of spring?! Granted, here in Texas, winter only lasts about a month, but as the weather warms back up I find myself starting to crave crisp salads and colorful fruit. Plus, spring’s arrival always inspires me to check in on my New Years resolutions, and this year I’m determined to cook more […]

It’s that time of year when I always start to feel a little nostalgic that the summer is passing by so quickly — and with it comes a desperation to eat as many tomatoes, peaches, and watermelon as is humanly possible while they’re still around! There are certain fruits and vegetables that are only good in […]
Have y’all noticed that all things pickled, fermented, and probiotic are having a major moment lately? And for good reason: there’s no better way to feed your gut all the good bacteria that keeps it healthy than to consume these types of enzyme-rich foods on a daily basis. A couple weeks ago, a few of my besties […]
Morning, y’all! It’s a gorgeous weekend around here — Austin is in its full summer glory and we’re soaking it up in the pool with nowhere we need to be and no idea what time it is. For me, the freedom of not being on a schedule is the best part of the weekend — conversations can linger […]
A few years ago, I went to a weeklong “bootcamp” at the Culinary Institute in Napa Valley (if you ever get the chance, it’s truly a bucket list experience.) While I was there, our instructor Chef John Ash demo’d how to make the best pesto ever, and I’ve been using his tips ever since. There […]
As we say goodbye (and good riddance!) to the long winter, I’m probably not the only one who’s thinking about getting a little healthier for swimsuit season spring. I’ve got to admit that a crazy schedule last month (blame it on SXSW) caused me to neglect my workout routine and consume a few too many breakfast […]
Even though Easter is less than one week away, we like to think that most of the design elements and recipes associated with the holiday can be repurposed all spring-long. That means that even if you don’t celebrate Easter or if you’re not hosting this year, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still find today’s brunch inspiring: […]
Spring is upon us and just in time for the arrival of tulips and daffodils comes the season of bridal showers, baby showers, and all kinds of other girly get-togethers. Since it’s a busy time of year, we’re believers in throwing a special soirée that’s also stress-free and keeps the focus on coming together to celebrate the […]
Socca has been a staple in my house for years because it is the most delicious (and nutritious) meal ever! Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner, socca is perfect anytime of day. For mornings, it’s an amazing savory idea – similar to a frittata and just as satisfying. Plus, it’s the easiest and quickest […]
It’s Monday! And if you’re like me, that means clean eating to make up for the sins of the weekend (rosé, fries, and an inordinate amount of caramel corn… check.) Let’s start by talking about these roasted lemons. They’re a new thing for me, and I currently want to put them in everything (i.e., last night […]
Kelley Lilien, aka Mrs. Lilien, has been shaking cocktails since before she learned to tie her shoes. “I would often fix up my mom and grandma’s drinks,” she says. “Which is when I discovered the creativity in it. Years later, I drew the same discovery from cooking.” As an adult Kelley has parlayed these cocktail-mixing […]
