Alright — I have about 37 seconds to tell you about these peaches before they’re out of season. I thought I was done with peaches for the season — especially after making that crumble. But as I warned you, buying multiple peaches only to bite into mealy, bruised flesh is the worst. Not my idea … Read more

How wild would it be to drink champagne… frozen? Seriously — if it involves champagne, I’ll take it any way you serve it. This frozen mimosa is one of two cocktails I think are perfect for Easter weekend, and it couldn’t be simpler. All you need to do ahead of time is freeze orange juice … Read more

I can’t take credit for this salad — it’s my friend Kelly’s creation. Last week we went to her house for dinner and I was supposed to bring dessert. Life happened, I got busy, and I didn’t make the dessert. So I grabbed store-bought cookies. Yes, store-bought. I don’t usually like them unless they have … Read more

Newest obsession of life: cacio e pepe Brussels sprouts! Seriously — these might be the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. They’re embarrassingly simple yet packed with flavor: salty, crisp, and bright with lots of black pepper. If you love charred vegetables and cheese, you’ll adore these. Cacio e pepe is the perfect concept for … Read more

THESE BOWLS! (caps necessary) I want to dive inside and eat my way out. We’re talking caramel — not fussy, but definitely rich and brown-sugary — paired with tender pork. Two of my favorite things.
