If you’ve been reading over the last month or two, you already know that we’re obsessed with using the freshest seasonal ingredients in summer cooking.

Bottoms Up :: Blueberry-Lemon Fizz

I love when cocktails can almost be classified as health food, don’t you? Makes it just a little easier to justify seconds… which you’re going to want, after tasting this refreshing Blueberry-Lemon Fizz that I concocted yesterday (that’s brimming with antioxidant-rich berries, of course!) Don’t worry, this preggers girl only had a small sample, but […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Canelés + Coffee

I have a new foodie obsession, and it’s called Elizabeth Street Café. This French-Vietnamese restaurant has been open for several months now, but I hadn’t yet made it by despite the fact that multiple friends had told me it was so up my alley. Well, that all changed after Adam & I went to lunch there […]

The Perfect Bite: Hazelnut-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hope you all had a happy Fourth!  To keep the celebration going, I (Jess) am sharing my latest recipe for my greatest breakfast obsession: the muffin.  What better way to start your day than with the singing-sobbing-shivering-side-effects reserved only for foods that contain carbs and chocolate – am I right? Nothing gets me going like a little […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Watermelon + Arugula

Sometimes simple really is better, don’t you think? And considering how much I’ve been craving ice cold watermelon sprinkled with sea salt this summer, any recipe that includes that combination is a winner, in my book. I made this salad to serve with a margherita pizza over the weekend, and its vivid color and fresh […]

The Perfect Bite :: Coconut Almond Bars

Jess here, with this week’s installment of The Perfect Bite! Care to know what makes me positively-over-the-top-giddy-pants-excited? Almonds. And coconut. And especially almonds and coconut together. This dessert bar even has dark chocolate with fleur de sel. But the very best part? Sweetened condensed milk. Can we all just put our hands together in a slow […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Cherry Clafouti

It’s officially cherry season, and I’ve been buying way more than I could possibly eat every time I go to the store… they’re so delish that I just can’t resist. So what to do with my bumper crop? Make dessert (of course) and this cherry clafouti is the perfect, very-french way to show off cherries to their […]

So thrilled to announce a brand-new series from our longtime collaborator, Ash! In her monthly Food & Flowers posts, she’ll be showing us how to use the season’s edible bounty as inspiration for gorgeous floral creations. Today’s arrangement is especially near to my heart, as it was sent with love…to me! Adam and I celebrated our third […]

Bottoms Up :: Grapefruit-Mint Bellini

While you might assume that doing all these cocktail posts while pregnant is a torturous affair…it’s actually been really fun to fantasize about all the little libations I’ll get to drink post-baby, and live vicariously through the willing taste-testers on my team. Today’s grapefruit-mint bellini is so up my alley, as it combines 3 of […]
