Tuesday Tastings :: Spiced Cappuccino

With Camille in St. Tropez this week (so jealous), today’s installment of Tuesday Tastings has been guest-contributed by Gabriela Iancu, who cooks up meals and musings for her blog, What Liberty Ate. Take it away, Gabriela… *** I started drinking coffee about five years ago when I had my first professional job and had to […]

Basil Pesto & 6 Minute Egg on Toast

The simplest breakfasts are often the most delicious. Much like the beloved avocado toast, it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to form an addiction. My boyfriend made this delicious combination for me on a whim, and since then, I can’t get enough.  It’s the perfect flavor for a light, early Summer breakfast. Ingredients: 2 large […]

Morning Meals :: Raspberry Almond Muffins

I know most people spend their mornings rushed with a quick pastry and coffee-to-go. As much as that seems easy and convenient, gluten-free pastries are not widely available everywhere…so I am usually stuck making my own. Luckily, these homemade muffins are incredibly addicting. They will keep you full longer than the average muffin (thanks to […]

Butter Coffee: Miracle Drink or Crazy Health Fad?

When a tall, willowy beauty tells you she’ll spill the secret behind her svelte bod, high energy levels, and glowing skin, well, you get ready to take notes. Then, when she tells you that it all started when she began drinking coffee made with grass-fed butter, you stop and say… Huh?! (at least if you’re me.) That’s what […]

The Super Foodie :: Cranberry Almond Granola Bites

One of my favorite go-to snacks is granola, and these almond cranberry granola bites hit just the right spot! The mix of a little bit of sweet with the salt, nutty almond flavor—it’s just perfection. And they’re healthy, of course! This recipe is quick to throw together and makes a large batch…but be warned, they […]

Morning Meals :: Coconut Walnut Oat Bars

We all love a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning, but sometimes its nice to switch it up. What can be better than coconut oat bars with tart raspberry preserves? This delicious breakfast can be eaten warm, cold, at home or on the go. Raspberry preserves were my first choice, but feel free to […]

Morning Meals :: Quinoa Scramble

Easter brunch doesn’t have to be all about hiding eggs this year. Our Spring-y scramble is a perfect light and bright breakfast for the upcoming holiday, and we promise your guests will love it, too. Serve it warm with your favorite brunch beverage (coffee or a cocktail)…sometimes we like both! Ingredients: 1/2 cup quinoa 3 […]

Morning Meals :: Chestnut & Chia Seed Pancakes

As much as I eat my fair share of avocado toast, I love a pancake breakfast. Eggs or toast can be equally satisfying, but there’s something inherently special about pancakes. They always signify an occasion, or leisure weekend breakfast. These little chestnut cakes are super flavorful and will hold you over thanks to the addition […]

Morning Meals :: Avocado Toast with Egg & Frisee

Breakfast is a very special meal in my home and not just because I have a fondness for eggs.  I love a lazy Saturday and Sunday brunch, leisurely eaten at home with countless cups of fresh coffee.  As much as I try to vary my meals, my go-to is always avocado toast with an egg.  It’s […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Super Healthy Migas

Can we start this post with an informal survey? I’m dying to know: how many of you have never had migas? It was such a normal weekend breakfast for us growing up — my dad standing at the stove crunching up the tortilla chips to toss into scrambled eggs — that I sometimes forget it’s […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Toasted Coconut & Almond Granola

I’m always a fan of a salty-sweet combo, which is probably why I can eat granola by the handful and often find myself gravitating towards it when afternoon munchies strike. As much as I love it, I think that granola might be one of the most deceptively calorie and fat-laden foods around — I mean, […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Buttermilk Heart Pancakes

We usually ditch the fancy restaurant on Valentine’s Day in favor of a cozy dinner at home, prepared together with an open bottle of good bubbly and Chet Baker on repeat. Besides, in some ways breakfast is the most romantic meal of the day… or perhaps for the morning-after? In any case, I’ll be making these […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Nutty Vegan Granola Bars

I cooked a lot over the holidays, and I even took photos of a few things I thought I might share with you guys (Christmas morning sticky buns, braised short ribs, and other such decadence.) But alas, they’ll have to wait for another day, because I am just over overindulgence right now, and really feel like I can’t […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Dutch Baby Pancake

When Adam and I first started dating, he had a couple of “signature” dishes he would make when he wanted to pull out all the stops for an at-home date night. A caprese pasta and grilled steak both factored heavily into the wooing process, as did this dutch baby pancake. Pre-Adam, I’d never heard of, […]

In Season :: Swiss Chard & Egg Casserole

Jeanine here, with the recipe you’re going to want to make for your Easter brunch. I make a lot of veggie-packed frittatas and baked egg dishes, but this one is my newest obsession. The chard (that you don’t even have to precook) creates a light and flaky texture as it bakes in between thin layers […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Quinoa-Berry Breakfast Bowl

On Sunday we talked about developing healthy habits (be sure to check out the comments for amazing reader suggestions), and I mentioned that one of mine is always eating a healthy breakfast. Thought I’d share the recipe for my current favorite, though the combination of ingredients changes daily depending on what I’m in the mood […]

The Perfect Bite :: Sweet Potato Scones

Saddle up, friends. This morning I (Jess) am sharing one of my all-time favorite cool-weather treats: scones.  And since sweet potato happens to be my go-to ingredient du jour, I decided to add it to this perfectly crumbly, just-sweet-enough little treat. I think I’ve made just about every version and flavor combo a scone could offer with […]
