I just returned to Los Angeles after a magical 3 weeks away. I was really able to unplug and step away from work the whole time. Now my inboxes are flooded and I have to get back to reality! Just as important, I'm excited to be back in my kitchen and returning to my regular way of ...
Clamboil Recipe
The favorite meal during my summer week on Long Island is always, hands-down, the clam boil. What's not to love? It's super fun, delicious, and just screams summer. In past years my son and my nephew have actually collected mussels at the beach to contribute towards the clam boil. They require a ...
Dinner Planner – Week of July 29th, 2019
I arrived on Long Island the other day and made my way out to my parents' house for a week with my sisters and their kids. I just love Long Island in the summer. The West Coast is great, but there's nothing like East Coast summer. I am a little jet lagged still despite assuming the time zone once ...
Fruity Iced Yerba Mate Recipe
Summer fruits are my favorite and I often put them in pitchers of water with or without fresh mint, with or without cucumber, and tell my kids it's "spa water." :) The fruit flavors the water so subtly and makes it look beautiful which is my goal so that everyone is more inclined to keep hydrated ...
Dinner Planner – Week of July 22nd, 2019
Goodbye, Portugal. We'll be back! My older daughter was able to join us for our last full day in Portugal and now we're making our way over to Spain to pick up my son (aka Mr. Picky) who has been there for almost 5 weeks. We are so excited to see him! I have eaten a little too much fish (2-3 ...
S’mores Bars Recipe
Hello from Portugal! It's our first time to this beautiful country and we are both totally smitten. I've been posting many stories every day on Instagram and I am considering saving them all to highlights at the end of the trip. Many people have asked about my husband's plant-based diet and how ...
Dinner Planner – Week of July 15th, 2019
Hello from Portugal! Hubs and I are taking a little vacay to celebrate this year's big birthday (his was in May, mine is in October.) We are already having the best time! My older daughter will join us next week and then a few days after she meets us, we will go pick up Mr. Picky who has been ...
Spicy Tequila Cocktail Recipe
I haven't posted a cocktail in a long time since this mint, cucumber, and vodka cocktail. The fact is, I am not much of a booze drinker. I like my hot water all day every day ;) plus a yerba mate or matcha in the morning. But cocktails have come a long way in the last few years. There are so ...
Dinner Planner Week of July 8th, 2019
I hope you are in the midst of a fabulous holiday weekend. I am taking my relaxing very seriously if you must know ;). My older daughter came home from Dallas and accompanied my husband and me to our friends' house in Montecito for a few days and other than writing this blog post, I have checked ...
American Flag Pie Recipe
I don't know what took me so long to make a pie like this since pies are MY FAVORITE thing to bake. The irony is that pies aren't exactly the most healthful thing in the world to eat, and I hardly touch them when they're offered. But it's hard to beat a homemade pie. They taste light years better ...
Dinner Planner – Week of July 1st, 2019
I was working on a another post for this week until I received an email from my editor with my manuscript attached. She passed the baton to me, so to speak, and now it's my turn to edit. I need to work on edits pretty hard core in the short term because I am going away for July 4th weekend and ...
