Happy holiday weekend, y’all! Hope yours involves a body of water and either hot dogs, barbecue, or a lobster roll, depending on where you are and your proclivities. For our annual Fourth of July bash tomorrow, Adam’s making his “smash” sliders on the grill (his own technique that involves a cast iron skillet and a spatula), […]
Happy weekend, friends! About this time in June every year, I always look at the calendar and realize that July is almost upon us — and that if I don’t start squeezing every last bit of fun out of these summer days, the season will be gone before I know it! That’s pretty much summed up this […]
Would you agree that lunch is the meal where it’s easiest to get stuck in a rut? Most days I toss together a quick salad with some protein, or just mash up a sweet potato — but lately I’ve been taking just a little extra time to make a grain bowl (mostly with leftovers from the […]
There’s nothing that channels those summery vibes quite like biting into a fresh watermelon wedge (I take mine with salt) and feeling the juice stream down your sun-kissed arms. Since I’m starting to see a few really ripe ones pop up at the grocery here, I’ve been plotting all the different ways I’m planning to use […]
Thanks to the arrival of summer’s heat, there’s no way I’m turning on my oven or firing up the stove. These next few months will be all about salads and smoothies (even when the AC is blasting). That’s why I love this porridge so much: it’s the summer version of your morning oatmeal, with a crunchy, chocolate-y topping. I […]
Around this time two years ago, Adam and I took a trip to the South of France to celebrate my 30th birthday and our 5th wedding anniversary, two milestones that fell within the same week of each other. It was definitely one of those bucket list trips — we fell in love with the beaches, the effortlessly […]
My birthday is on Sunday, and I’m already dreaming of cake. And although I find baking them to be extremely enjoyable, I’ve never been that great at making my layer cakes look as good as they taste. I decided to call in the expert, Chef Callie Speer of Geraldine’s here in Austin — you guys might remember the epic homemade donuts […]
Mornin’, glories! This weekend has been cloudy skies with the threat of thunderstorms, so we’ve been keeping things low-key at home with the fam — tea parties, puzzles, and trying to keep up with Henry (the baby gates that we took down when Phoebe turned 3 just went back up!) I made these for dinner last night […]

A few years ago, I went to a weeklong “bootcamp” at the Culinary Institute in Napa Valley (if you ever get the chance, it’s truly a bucket list experience.) While I was there, our instructor Chef John Ash demo’d how to make the best pesto ever, and I’ve been using his tips ever since. There […]
People tend to have strong feelings about their guacamole: there are the purists who demand little more than avocado, lime, onion, and cilantro… and then there are the creative versions with roasted corn, black beans — I’ve even tried a couple guacs topped with crab meat. Let’s be honest, I’d happily eat any of them, but I […]
It’s a very special morning today: we’re hosting our first ever #GetHealthyGetTogether here in Austin, and I couldn’t be more excited about the fact that I’m about to meet so many of you guys in person for the first time. Earlier this year, the team and I made a commitment to creating content that’s not only […]
