It doesn’t take more than spending a few minutes with Catherine Stiles to think to yourself: Can we be best friends? Not only does being tight with her mean access to some of the greatest barbecue in the country at her husband’s Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew, but it also comes with a lifetime membership to some of the best Texas-style […]
It’s no secret that veggies are having a major moment. Even the most enthusiastic carnivores among us are wising up to the fact that when it comes to brilliant color, fresh flavor and endless variety, vegetables are hard to beat. I’m always shocked when I hear people say that they don’t like vegetables, but after […]
I don’t know what I ate before quinoa became a permanent pantry staple of mine. It sounds cliche given how much quinoa has been dubbed a “trendy” food, but if you ask me, the grain is here to stay. I usually make a big batch at the beginning of the week (practically with my eyes […]
Do y’all ever have sandwich-for-dinner nights? Sometimes you just can’t beat the ease or comfort food factor of yummy ingredients piled between two toasty slices of bread. On nights like those, you’ll usually find us whipping up this curried chicken and avocado sandwich (with sweet potato fries), inspired by a similar one that Adam ordered […]
It might not be sweater weather quite yet here in Austin, but I’m feeling pretty autumnal anyway, thanks to one of my favorite fall crops: apples. I was so surprised several years ago to discover that Texas boasts several thriving apple orchards, and now as soon as the rosy Galas, Annas, and MacIntoshes start coming […]
Happy First Day of Fall! Can you believe it’s already here? Autumn’s arrival definitely snuck up this year, leaving me feeling slightly sad for missed opportunities to spend lazy days by the pool and evenings barbecuing with friends, but also hopeful and excited for crisp mornings, tall leather boots, and the twinkly magic of the […]
Hey guys! I’m super excited about a new series we’re launching today called “Seasonal Menus.” It’s, well, exactly what it sounds like: I’ll be sharing the perfect menus for all kinds of occasions with the simple recipes you’ll need to prepare them — some that we’ve posted on the blog before and others that are brand new. To […]
I’ve never met a veggie sandwich I didn’t like. Seasonal vegetables — whether fresh or cooked — are always a good idea. But when placed between two pieces of perfectly toasted bread, and accompanied by some salty, melty cheese, they reach a whole new level of deliciousness. If you ask me, there’s really no wrong way […]
I don’t need a personal chef — I enjoy cooking too much to hand that task off to someone else. I don’t even want someone to go grocery shopping for me, because strolling through the farmer’s market and trying inspiring samples at the store is half the fun. Want to know what I would love help with? Planning my meals out each week. […]
Recipe from Huckle & Goose | Click here for the full story “This probably wins as our favorite way to eat beets. Smoke is definitely a flavor element here, so if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, take the veggies to your friend’s next grill out and whip this up there. The natural […]
Recipe from Huckle & Goose | click here for the full story “We are huge fans of roasting, and while most of us don’t want to turn on the oven in the summer, this recipe is so worth it. The best part is the longer it sits the better it gets, so you don’t have […]
Have I mentioned that I finally have a spiralizer in my life? I don’t know why I waited so long (especially since I’ve been pinning zucchini noodle “pastas” for months now) but ever since I added this model to my kitchen gadget collection, I’ve been making noodles out of, well, just about anything that can become a […]
