Because practical can be pretty, too!

Anyone who enjoys food and cooking knows that summer offers the finest ingredients. Maybe I’m just biased towards summer in general, (sun and water baby for life), but I love how all the colorful fruits, veggies, and herbs come together to make any dish packed with fresh, unique flavors throughout these warmer months. With Fall […]
Beach front property not required.
For the past month, every time I step outside my back door I feel immediately transported to the South of France. It’s all thanks to a weeklong trip that Adam and I took to St. Tropez in June six years ago, where we got inspired by our hotel’s endless walls of blooming jasmine vines, then […]
The countdown to summer has begun, and I consider Memorial Day weekend to be the official kickoff. This year, since my birthday happens to fall the day after, we’re inviting friends for a dinner party on the back patio with food coming straight off the grill and a “bare feet required” dress code. When our […]
I’ll never forget the night before Will and Kate’s wedding. I was pulling another late night at the ad agency I worked for, and mentioned to a co-worker that I had to get up super early the next day to watch the wedding live. “I can’t believe you’re actually getting up to watch that,” he […]
It’s hard to describe life in Austin without mentioning tacos. The two are basically inseparable, and since it’s not out-of-the-question that I might start a day with breakfast tacos and end it with fajitas, you could say that I’ve gotten pretty good at putting fresh twists on the classics so that my taco habit never […]
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. This fall celebration is dripping in rich jewel tones, warm metallics, and organic elements like wood, berries, […]
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 […]
If there’s one culinary lesson I learned from our trip to Tuscany, it’s that the simplest dishes are often the best. Of course, when you’re working with a tiny ingredient list, a recipe is only as good as the quality of those ingredients, so the time to make this spaghetti dinner is when tomatoes are practically […]
This soup is as close to “fall in a bowl” as it gets. Full of curry spices, warming winter squash and a bright hint of citrus and fresh herbs at the end — there’s just nothing I’d rather curl up with on a chilly night in November. Oh, and did I mention that you can […]
Have you ever tasted a new ingredient and thought, “Now this is a game-changer”? I can remember a few times in my life: Maldon sea salt, really good dark chocolate, European butter, and most of all, six years ago when we were on our honeymoon in Italy and I tasted buffalo mozzarella for the first time. Previously, I’d had […]
