Most favorite dish ever — we absolutely adore this Lobster Mac and Cheese. Some people say cheese and seafood don’t go together, but this proves otherwise. I first tasted it at The Capital Grille and wanted to bring the chef home. It’s rich, comforting, and indulgent. This isn’t a health food — it’s one of … Read more

Every July I seem to share something embarrassingly easy, perfect for hot evenings when snacks and a glass of wine make dinner optional. This is one of those things: quick, bright, and exactly what summer calls for.

P.S. Yesterday was the hottest day so far and it required two ice cream cones and the brightest pink nail polish I could find. What about you?
