Hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend so far! Highlights of mine include: farmers market shop, breakfast banh mi at Elizabeth Street, long walk around ladybird lake, getting a massage from my amazing cousin who recently launched her biz (best thing that’s ever happened to me), grilling homemade pizzas, and finishing this completely addictive book. And the […]
Julia Turshen rocks my world. My copy of It’s All Good, the best-selling cookbook she co-wrote with Gwyneth Paltrow, is dog-eared, bookmarked and covered in curry from countless batches of my favorite Roasted Cauliflower + Chickpeas and Mustard. In addition to roasting vegetables with Gwyneth, Julia’s eaten kimchi with Jean-Georges and toured Spain with Mario Batali. […]
I absolutely love eggs for breakfast, if it isn’t already apparent. I can go for a homemade fritatta or eggs on toast any day of the week. Another favorite, baked eggs, is one I don’t eat often enough. Besides being delicious, it’s the perfect no-stress breakfast dish for a homemade brunch. Serve them in your […]
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 […]
It’s a small world sometimes — when we reached out to our friend Katie Crown at ELLE Magazine to talk about being part of our Besties series, we were surprised and delighted to learn that her best friend is Marissa Lippert, a New York nutritionist (and now restauranteur) whose work we’ve admired for years. We […]
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’m forever on the hunt for the perfect pajamas and loungewear — pieces that strike a balance between being insanely comfortable and incredibly pretty. Bonus points if they’re a one-piece or part of a matching set, so that I don’t have to expend any energy putting together a complete “outfit.” I fell in love with […]
Oatmeal is usually a quick weekday breakfast option, but it can be a lot more than that. To do it right, opt for steel cut oats and a simple and luxe fruit compote. It’s Summer and that means the the produce is crazily bountiful right now. So, get creative with the compote and try it […]
There’s an old adage that goes, “Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail.” And while that may sound a little harsh (because let’s face it, sometimes life happens), there is some merit to that. I travel quite a bit throughout the year, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned while being on this journey, it’s that consistency […]
“There are moments when we are looking at something we made together and it’s exactly what we have been dreaming and envisioning, something we could only create together…and it’s just really satisfying and full of love-feelings,” says Carissa Gallo, one half of the cutie couple behind Sea Chant, a photo/directing duo based out of Portland, […]
I recently realized how much I absolutely love frittatas. Not the tasteless and chewy ones from your average brunch buffet…I’m talking the homemade kind. Anytime I’m entertaining for breakfast, the frittata is my go to. It’s similar to the age-old “everything but the kitchen sink” soup or salad. The possibilities here are endless and best when […]
This breakfast is somewhere between a healthy morning meal and a delicious indulgence. It’s the perfect warm weather brunch idea, individually baked for your guests. Breakfast crisps are perfectly sweet without giving you the sugar hangover of most pastries. It’s best served with strong coffee and a dollop of whipped creme if you’re feeling fancy. […]
