Hello, Monday. I’ll tell you that I didn’t give you your Sunday morning post, not because I was lazy. I precisely the opposite of that. Rather, my monthly email fell into your inboxes on Saturday (do you get my monthly email? No? What are you…
Hello, Monday. I hope that you’re enjoying the long weekend, doing summer weekend things. It’s the first one after all, an we only have so many, so let’s make each one count (weather permitting). I’m here with two of my best girls and we’ve been…
A few weeks ago, I attended my first wedding of the season. We laughed, we cried and we ate. We ate these amazingly perfect charred brussels sprouts with a creamy-yet-spicy tahini based dressing (some would say sauce) sprinkled with roasted pepitas served at a local restaurant.

Hello, Sunday. We’ve finally got some sunny days here and thank goodness for it. Crawley and I have been spending time on the porch and I really hope we can continue to live our best lives in this way until the snow comes back our…
Paris has been on my mind lately. Notre Dame, for one, but also because I’m heading back this summer for a few days, and planning has commenced. To me, nothing screams Paris more than Parisian-Style Crepes with Nutella. Nothing. And while you saw this recipe already, it’s been more than a hot second, and it was time for a redo. Just in time, might I add, for Mother’s Day and a lazy breakfast in bed for our favorite gal.
