BI BIM BAP

Living in LA means I’m a fork’s length away from amazing food at any given time, which means I’ve eaten a lot of Korean food. Korean food is amazing because it balances spice, texture, and exceedingly generous portions all at once. They also love popping an egg on top of anything (including soup!) which I 100% cosign. Bi-Bim Bap is […]

BLACKBERRY BASIL SMASH

I love a smash! Who doesn’t love a smash? They’re…smashing? Well, they’re awesome anyway. Some crushed ice, some citrus, a little sugar and whiskey – BOOM. I added some blackberries and basil for a bit of freshness,  but you could play around with any other fruit and fresh herb combination you like.  INGREDIENTS 7 fresh basil leaves 1 lemon half, […]

Blackberry Glazed Brown Butter Buttermilk Doughnuts

Baked doughtnuts strike me as the perfect compromise.  You get to have something cakey, delicious, and glazed, but hey…at least it’s not fried? At least in my world this is a super reasonable compromise.  The blackberry glaze on these doughnuts is the prettiest shade of rich pink, with an unexpected tart kick, making these the perfect doughnuts for the summertime.  […]

BLUEBERRY AND BOURBON BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Growing up, breakfast was usually my dad’s domain. His famous “googy” eggs (soft boiled eggs) with toast soldiers were a favorite, along with his pancakes that we were allowed to help stir. Most of the breakfasts we enjoyed were thrown together on weekend mornings, with little planning or fuss. But now that I’m an adult, the idea of throwing together […]

BLUEBERRY CORN BREAD VS BLUEBERRY HOT BREAD

Blueberries and tomatoes are one of those seasonal miracles.  Their magic is dumbed down by their ubiquity, and honestly, their off season mediocrity.  I have had so many ok blueberry muffins and blots.  They’re passable, efficient, even.  But it’s not until summertime when the fruit is ripe on the vine or branch that I start to notice them in a […]

BLUEBERRY MUFFIN ICE CREAM // VIDEO

I don’t know if y’all heard, but it’s national ice cream month, and one of my favorite magazine blogs, Simply Stated from Real Simple, is hosting an ice cream social. What evil awesome genius would come up with this, you ask? Why, look no further than my lovely buddy Kristin Appenbrink, associate editor at RealSimple.com. We met up in NYC […]

BON-BON ROOT BEER FLOATS

Root beer floats are a family tradition for me. It’s my dad’s must-have dessert on his birthday. There’s something about the icy crust that forms around the ice cream in the soda. The cream with the herbaceous kick of the root beer is such a delicious combination, how could it possibly get better? Enter Courtney from Large Marge. She’s a […]

BOOZEY BOURBON MILK TEA

Milk tea is a staple if you live in Southern California. A Taiwanese import, the combination of milky, sweet tea with chewy boba floating around has long been a favorite among teenagers with a sweet-tooth and me. The idea to make it a cocktail came from a matcha whiskey drink I enjoyed at Angel’s Share in New York.  The subtle […]
