STRAWBERRY ROSE LEMONADE

Pink lemonade is one of the happiest things I can imagine filling a glass. I immediately think of summer picnics or fancy tea parties as a little girl. In this version, I made my pink lemonade just a little more special, with fresh strawberries and a touch of rosewater. This combination is so refreshing and fun, you can’t help but […]

VEGAN CHEESE BOARD

Food should be nourishing and delicious. It sounds simple, right? With sweets especially, it can be so hard to find treats that are as good to eat as they are for you. My friend Laurel, the baker behind the grain-free and refined-sugar-free (and sometimes vegan) goodness known as Sweet Laurel Bakery, has shared some of her simplest and most satisfying […]

RISING SUN JUICE

I love this combination of carrot, coconut, orange, and a bit of spice. Slightly sweet, nicely balanced, it’s super thirst quenching and refreshing. This would also make a brilliant smoothie if you blended coconut meat in as well. Enjoy!  INGREDIENTS 2 carrots 1 inch piece fresh ginger 1 cup coconut water 1/2 orange, juiced 1 lime, juiced 1 pinch ground […]

BUTTER DIPPED RADISHES

Radishes with butter and salt is a classic trifecta in French cuisine. I have no idea how old this combination is, but I imagine it came together around the time butter was invented. The key to this perfect snack’s success is in the ingredients – they must be high quality. Excellent butter, crunchy fleur de sel, and fresh, mild radishes, preferably […]

THOMAS FAMILY FRENCH FRIES + SECRET SAUCE

For my entire life my dad has been serving up plates of his glorious french fries. They’re perfect. Deep golden and crisp on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside, with flecks of salt punctuating the fat. Whenever my mom needed a pick me up, I’d hear her softly call from her bed, “Brennie, can you make us some […]

WATERMELON JALAPENO SANGRIA

I have never met someone who doesn’t like watermelon. If you don’t like watermelon, and want to make yourself known, say hey in the comments…but for some reason I don’t think there will be a lot of you. Watermelon is just so damn good when it’s good. This sangria is simple, and plays on watermelon’s refreshing taste. Mint, lime, and […]

SIMPLE BERRY PAVLOVA

It’s Pav time!  Pav, for the uninitiated/un-Antipodean, means pavlova, created to honor Anna Pavlova’s famous tutu on her trip down under.  Kiwis and Aussies alike will have crocodile dundee level knife fights over who actually created it (just kidding, it’s actually a koala thunderdome), but in the end it doesn’t matter much, because we’re all too busy eating it to […]

BURRATA WITH STONEFRUIT + CHILI + MINT

Burrata is one of my favorite things. It’s up there with brown butter. Basically, if it’s in a dish, it’s somehow improving it, and I must eat it. During the summer, I love pairing this fresh, creamy cheese with bright stone fruit. The acid in the peaches, plums, and nectarines are a fantastic counterpoint to the cheese’s mild sweetness, and […]

SPICY STRAWBERRY MARGARITAS

Spicy margaritas and strawberry margaritas are two of my favorite cocktails – especially when they’re freshly made and not too sweet. So when I ordered a spicy strawberry mezcal cocktail in Mexico City during my recent trip, it hit me that I had never tried combining those two perfect things before. Inspired by that fresh, tart, barely sweet, and mildly […]

SUMMER CROSTINI

There’s still a bit of summer left (unless you’re already back-to-school!) which means the farmer’s market is a little more spectacular than usual. At the start of the season there’s an amazing cross section of spring/summer, and those odd outliers that pop up much too early or cling on for dear life through the seasons. I was planning on re-making […]
