3 EASY VEGETABLE DIPS

During the summer, I love meals made up of a bottle of wine and a platter of loveliness. This usually means cheese and charcuterie, but today I’m experimenting with fresh vegetable dips and produce. All of these dips are incredibly easy to whip up, and are the perfect canvasses to introduce your favorite flavors. I used to get so upset […]

5 MAKE AHEAD SALADS

Confession: I hate salad. Leafy greens depress me. I usually eat all of the “stuff” in a salad, leaving the greens until the end, and then heavily sigh as I try to clean my plate. So when it comes to eating a little healthier for lunch, I struggle. I feel compelled to order a salad but resent having to eat […]

A CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD GRILLED // VIDEO

Ok, I’m getting a little attached to my grill.  Leafy greens aren’t the first thing I’d think would be delicious with a bit of flame under them, but the burnt bits have a wonderful nuttiness that’s quite unexpected. The texture doesn’t become mushy or crispy, but slightly soft, like sautéed spinach.  With crunchy grilled bread and some shavings of parm, […]

A IS FOR ASPARAGUS BAKED EGGS // VIDEO

I’m a time filler.  If I have a spare moment, I’m filling it with something. Shooting, writing, reading, editing; I get antsy and pack my schedule and then wonder why I’m constantly stressed out.  It’s strange what we do to ourselves.

I inexplicably love canning. Countless jars clutter the top shelf of my fridge and yet, like some kind of hoarder, I continue adding more. My new strategy is to gift these little jars filled with homemade jams and preserves to all of my favorite people: friends, bartenders, baristas, kindly strangers. Should you get bitten by the summer loving bug too, […]

ADDICTIVELY GOOD CHICKEN WINGS

I went to Vancouver for a shoot, but spent most of my time gorging myself on donuts.  The donut game in Vancouver is on point, as is their chicken wing game.  I had the odd misfortune attached to choosing to eat only at local hangouts of having to wait in a forty five minute line every. goddamn. time. It could’ve […]

ADULT ICED TEA

Uh oh, dangerous drink coming at you.  Every time I’ve sipped this drink myself, or handed one to a friend, it is gone in a matter of seconds.  It’s light, refreshing, and tastes exactly like iced tea.  The only problem? It’s super boozey, so please try to sip slowly. This is the perfect hot weather drink that even gin haters […]

ADULT LEMONADE

I always serve a cocktail parties, and that usually means I end up hiding out in the kitchen, fussing over individual cocktails for each guest, emerging at least partially covered in spilled booze. It’s not great, but the cocktails are actually tasty. During the summer, I’m over it. I want to socialize, I want to stay dry, I want a […]
