Welcome to the season of colorful leaves and scents of cinnamon wafting from the kitchen. For my latest seasonal celebration with Target, I invited my coworker besties to join me for a cozy Friendsgiving meal around the table. Watch the video above to see it all come together, and hop right over here for the recipes, […]
The thing about brussels sprouts is – they can be so good, or so very, very bad. Depending on the preparation, you could end up with roasted sprouts that are charred and crispy-caramelized on their leafy edges, or steamed sprouts that are mushy and watery (eww.) And then there’s the seasoning to think about, because […]
We’re deep into pumpkin season and I think we can all admit that as cliché as the flavor can be this time of year, we still love it. There’s just something so perfect about opening up a can of that bright orange fruit to bake up a good ‘ole pumpkin pie, cake, or bread that makes […]
While I’m not totally freaked out by the idea of making pie from scratch (Callie helped demystify it here and showed us how to decorate it here), let’s just say that it still feels like a big production for me. One that I’d attempt when I have a long, lazy Sunday afternoon ahead of me, or maybe for […]
October always seems to be the busiest month, and this year is no exception. In the past 10 days alone, I’ve found myself in Los Angeles, Austin, back to Los Angeles, and New York City, and next week I’m headed to Cabo for a much needed vacation. Juggling so many schedules for my family, my […]
It’s easy to make fun of the omnipresence of pumpkin spice everything at this time of year; sometimes it feels like it’s hard to step outside without getting a whiff of those familiar fall flavors, much less sit in a coffee shop. But if we’re being honest, can we just all agree that it’s a cliché […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted my monthly book recos, but I’ve been secretly dying to find time to share a few must-reads that have really impacted me lately. So here goes! This month’s roundup includes a book that’ll totally change the way you think about vulnerability, a memoir that’ll leave you feeling both devastated and […]
I can’t take full credit for this recipe — it was inspired by an amazing dish I tried at a neighborhood café here in Austin called Epicerie. But I can say that I’ve devised an interpretation of the restaurant’s salad that truly couldn’t be easier. Got a knife? How about an oven? Great. That’s just about […]
Fall is finally upon us! After one very long, hot summer, I can’t help but feel immense joy at the thought of the cozy sweater-wearing months ahead of us. I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the case last year and the year before that, too, but somehow, each year the anticipation and excitement […]
With the temps finally cooling down a bit here in Austin, I’m embracing every possible chance to get outside and soak up the sunshine and cool breezes. And now that I’m working downtown, Adam and I have been trying to squeeze in a few lunch dates — our offices are only a few blocks from […]
Cities like New York and Los Angeles are filled with stylish creatives, but it takes a certain perspective to leave the fast pace of the cities behind for considerably quieter Rhode Island. That’s exactly what Jess Ann Kirby and her boyfriend Craig did after five years of bouncing back and forth between those two cities. […]
