I’ve never been a big store-bought sorbet fan, I always find it too sweet for my taste. But it’s been over 100 degrees here every day in Los Angeles and something had to give! Even the kiddie pool doesn’t offer enough cool-down factor. So…
I came across a giant organic papaya when I was placing my order to Milk & Eggs last week and I had to put it in my cart. I knew it would make the most incredible breakfast, but I wasn’t quite sure which direction…
To know me is to know that I love tacos. There’s nothing that compares than warm homemade corn tortilla, no matter the filling (mine are usually stuffed with al pastor and smothered in sauces). I’m actually ashamed to admit that when I moved to California I…
I hit a pretty big milestone over here: I am officially 10 lbs. down! I posted this snap of my lunch in an Instagram Story recently and got a ton of questions. I want to share this insanely delicious recipe I’ve been “indulging” in…
Buckle up, folks — this is a long one. So grab a (healthy) snack and stick with me. For those who know me well, you know that I never watched what I ate (and I indulged often), never exercised, and didn’t care to check…
When Tyler and I first became a couple we were the king and queen of eating at restaurants and taking food to go. I actually worked in a restaurant and he was constantly on tour, so cooking never even crossed our minds. It was…
Although California doesn’t offer your typical fall weather, I’ve found other ways to set the tone for the season. My favorite way? Through my personal love language: food! I rounded up a few of my favorite fall flavors and crafted a recipe to feed…
There’s one thing that my Fox has no trouble with: eating. From day one, he loved his bottles and even easily transitioned to stage 1 baby foods. On his first birthday, he had no desire for a bottle and weening was completely effortless. As…
Hey y’all! We just got home from Hawaii today and we had SO much fun! Ziplining, tubing, watching dear friends get hitched — the works. We decided to take it easy to recuperate this Labor Day with a fun family meal, so on the…
The days following rainfall here in San Diego are always my favorite. The pavement is cooled, grass is lush, and the temperature is perfect. We went out in the backyard today to feel the fresh air and as I rounded the corner the most…
Since I’ve been intensely planning a trip for the past couple of days, I put myself in vacation mode a bit early with the most amazing cocktail and I have to share the recipe! It’s a creamy drink served hot that’s perfect for the…
“Want to soak up life for a while in laid-back mode. No boss, no clock, no stress, no dress code.” I’m channeling me some Kenny Chesney today with a little No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems. (Except the shirt part, because no one wants…
I’m almost done planning Fox’s birthday and let me tell you, I’m so glad it falls on the big game day. This football theme is easy peasy! As I was firming up the menu I landed on a football party staple: chili. You may know…
Fox’s first birthday lands on the big game day, so we are planning a family party (relatives will be flying in from Northern California, New York, and North Carolina!) to celebrate our little guy during festivities. Lots of family and football equates to one thing:…
Over the holidays I talked a lot about my family’s deep rooted traditions and recipes, which brought up a thought that never crossed my mind before: I’m unconsciously failing at creating my own traditions. I’m now on a mission to start our own activities…
