You know those “superfoods” we always hear so much about? I’ve taken all my favorites and packed them into one majorly addictive salad that will make your skin glow and give you energy for days. Promise. Watch the video above to see how I massage the kale, mix the vinaigrette, and bring it all together, then […]
I’ve been loving cacao in my smoothies lately. Whether I’m tired or recovering from one too many glasses of wine the night before, it’s an instant pick me up when coffee (or matcha) aren’t doing the trick. So although this smoothie doesn’t have berries or kale in it, the cacao provides enough boosters to make up for […]
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 […]
Morning, y’all. It has been a doozy of a week — starting Monday, I was in and out of bed with a mysterious fever and cough, Adam was out of town so I was home with both kids (thank God for our parents), and work was at its busiest so I couldn’t exactly burrow under […]
My morning routine tends to be a rushed one. As hard as I’ve tried to force myself to be an early riser, I typically find myself squeezing in every possible second of shut-eye, then hopping out of bed with just enough time shower, dress and grab breakfast to-go before heading into the office. My favorite […]
Among the interior design set, and in Austin especially, the name Katie Kime has been popping up a lot lately. So what’s all the buzz about? Maybe it’s her new home decor shop at one of the city’s busiest intersections, or her involvement in some of this town’s hottest parties, or the biggest conversation topic of […]
Much of what I love about this column is that it’s not solely focused on how to stay in shape or eat healthy. Sure, they are very important and I love sharing my experiences with both, but Living Kindly is dedicated to the broader picture of wellness. Wether that be physical, emotional or mental, they […]
Happy Valentine’s Day, lovies! I’ve got to admit I’m a huge fan of this holiday (probably doesn’t come as a surprise if you’ve taken a look at our homepage lately.) Roses, handmade cards, and endless chocolate? What’s not to love? Adam and I celebrated together early, so today is all about spending time with our two […]
Y’all, I’ve discovered a new breakfast obsession. I’ve always been a huge oatmeal fan (I go through phases when I eat it on the daily), but only recently have I discovered the phenomenon that is baked oatmeal. Made with a bit of egg, milk, and bananas, this version is a cross between bread pudding and banana […]
Sarah Contrucci Smith of Ara Collective whipped us this dinner salad with an unexpected (and entirely delicious) combination of salmon and blueberries at her Valentine’s Day party this year. We couldn’t get enough of this light and healthy entree salad — see how Sarah served it at her Blue Valentine Girl’s Night here. photographed by […]
Now that the holidays are under our belts, it’s officially acceptable to start dreaming of al fresco entertaining with light, fresh flavors and the sun on our shoulders. To celebrate the first hints of spring, we teamed up with our friends at kate spade new york for a fresh and flirty brunch in my garden — thanks […]
Some mornings I can’t quite muster up the energy for pancakes or something more involved than eggs & toast. It’s days like that where the simplest additions like wild mushrooms will go such a long way (for your meal and your mood.) Besides having that famous umami flavor that will transform any dish, Maitake mushrooms […]
