Take a little video tour here: And, the best part? If you bought your hardcover […]

Just a little note to tell you that you need this banana bread in your life. For this weekend’s brunch, let’s say.  It’s one of my very favorites from the cookbook. And, this past Sunday as I was stirring away getting ready for a little friends brunch we were hosting, I was caught off-guard for a […]

I made you this cake. Gluten-free carrot zucchini cake, to be exact. It’s pretty much like eating vegetables for breakfast, so listen up. But first a story. So, yesterday I was making this cake, and I started thinking about what a difference taking actual action has had in my life. Side note: this always seems to […]

You know how you used to eat a pack of graham crackers after school? Like literally– the whole pack. Dunked in milk with lightening speed on those little chubby fingers. Remember? You had to be on your A game. One second too long, and you got that big gross mushy glass of milk at the end. Crackers, […]

So last week, I got a call that I’d never refuse. That Molly Moon’s ice cream needed a little winter recipe fun for their new take-home pints. And, would I be interested? I mean, come on. When life gives you beautiful, artisanal ice cream, you take it. Especially when it’s pumpkin clove season. So today, my […]

As I sit here writing this, I’m in France. FRANCE. Catching a little lull in between the miles and miles traipsed around town and our late night dinner plans. Being here, I can’t help but think about my time here in Rome, almost 9 years ago now. It inevitably makes me think about how different I was back […]

So, summer is pretty much made for ice cream. (Or, is it the other way around?) But if we’re being honest– most of us don’t do that great with it. You know. “Digestive” wise. Even for people who do relatively well with dairy in general, ice cream is –by far–the hardest form to digest. Aside […]

I have a weird theory about ice cream. I get it. It’s summertime. It’s cooling. Refreshing. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and sugary, and heavy (in the best way) and creamy. Which is why it can get kind of addicting. Even the coconut milk stuff (my personal fav). Because little else gives us all of that goodness in […]

A dessert that you never have to feel bad eating, is dessert after my own heart. One that happens to make you feel like a little kid again, and I’m done for. So, because it’s hot and it’s summer and I can’t stop sneaking little cold bites of these in the fridge and smiling, I […]

Everything you need for your healthiest + happiest summer yet. Aka, my favorite things as of late. La Croix Sparkling Water Sarah’s picks: the coconut or peach pear flavor. Stop it. This is the ultimate 3pm refreshing break. Serve extra cold over ice with a slice of citrus or berries. Or, in cocktails later in the […]

OK, LET’S TALK SNACKS. It’s a topic that comes in almost weekly on my  instagram Q + A sessions…. and one that HI, as a new mama over here this past year, have a whooooole new level of respect for. Snacks. The good kind. The ones that actually help you bridge the gap between meals […]

When the topic is chocolate, there’s no point in messing around today. It’s serious business. Let’s get right to it. You almost don’t need me to tell you why you should make this recipe, because, let’s be honest. It’s CHOCOLATE. And on a healthy blog, which means GUILT FREE. See? I know you. It’s like getting […]
