Ember-Roasted Strawberries

I have a serious crush on Francis Mallman. The Argentinean chef takes the best ingredients and cooks them over live fire to create food that’s sensuous and rustic, lusty and delicious. Watch him on Chef’s Table and fall in love with him yourself. Watch, and like me, you’ll want to invite your friends over and […]

Fourth of July Dessert Bar

Taken a look at the calendar lately? It’s hard to believe how quickly this summer is racing by and that the Fourth of July is only 3 days away! The 4th is one of my favorite food days of the year, and I’ve been scouring my recipe files for ideas on what to toss on the grill (there’s still […]

Waffle Bar Party

I’m a big fan of brunch as one of the most fun times to invite friends over for a meal. It always feels way more laid-back than a dinner party, and everyone arrives feeling relaxed and happy after sleeping in that morning. For the first post in our series with Blue Diamond Almonds, I decided to organize […]

Melon & Citrus Popsicles

First things first, can I get a collective HOORAY for summer’s arrival?! It’s officially here, and the longer days and warmer weather have put me in an unusually peppy mood, even for a gal who spends most of her time hopped up on sugar. And since I no longer have the luxury of spending two long months […]

This Family Beach Party is The Ultimate #Goals

If I had to choose the fantasy that I return to most often, it would be to live near the beach. There’s nothing that relaxes me like the sound of crashing waves and the scent of saltwater. I’ve heard people say that when you live at the beach, you start to take it for granted […]

Recipes for a Middle Eastern Dinner Party

Today’s mouthwatering dinner menu comes to us from a very special guest. Maureen Abood is the blogger-turned-author behind Rose Water & Orange Blossoms, and ever since her book arrived on our office doorstep we’ve been mesmerized by her fresh and classic Lebanese recipes. Think flower waters, fresh herbs and vegetables, toasted nuts, grains, lean meats and spices like […]

Indigo and Tangerine

Happy Monday, folks! Chanel here, dispatching from Tel Aviv where sea salt is in the air, fresh produce is filling the markets and the bougainvillea is in full bloom. Since I’m pushing myself to move away from neutrals, the electric colors are a welcome change of scenery and never fail to remind me that summer […]

Kids’ Moroccan Tassel Necklace

I went into making this DIY fully intent on gifting the necklaces to little Phoebe, but by the time they were finished, she practically had to pry them out of my hands. They just turned out too adorable, and the sweet sorbet colors of those beads make them look borderline delicious… I couldn’t bear the thought of handing them […]

Katie Turpin

I’ll never forget meeting Katie Turpin for the first time at Camille’s San Antonio book signing — it was a cold winter’s night and she stood out (in a sea of fur coats and flat ironed hair) for having that seriously perfect I’m-not-trying-too-hard natural beauty. We struck up a conversation that was adorably interrupted by […]

Planning a Summer Baby Shower with Minted

This summer marks the first time I’m thinking about taking the reigns and hosting a baby shower for some friends — I typically play a supporting role in such events. But this particular couple is so dear to me that I couldn’t be much more excited about their new addition if it were my own. […]
