South by Southwest starts today, so I thought I’d share some of our food truck favorites for any of you that’ll be passing through town. There are a lot of trucks, so I narrowed it down to just the ones we think are the very best…
I don’t know what exciting plans you all have this weekend, but I have a date with this head of cauliflower. This photo doesn’t accurately show just how big this thing is, but it is the Thanksgiving turkey of cauliflowers. It arrived in my Farmhouse Delivery a few days ago and I’m determined to use up the whole thing… What do you like to make with cauliflower? Leave me and idea below… I’ll pick my favorite and feature it here next week… Here are some cauliflower favorites I’ve made before: Roasted Cauliflower & Hazelnut Salad Roasted Cauliflower with Rasins & Capers Cauliflower…
I’m sure most of you are well on your way to finishing up your holiday shopping. If you’re anything like me, you haven’t started… Here’s a little guide of some things I would love to have (as well as a shameless plug for our our very own recipe cards that we’re selling this holiday season. Be sure to check out our shop if you haven’t already). See these items and more foodie gift ideas on my Luvocracy page.

Thanksgiving came up so quickly this year, didn’t it? In case you’re still trying to narrow down what to make, I wanted to share some of my favorites from around the web. Great round-ups filled with tons of ideas: Bon Appétit: Thanksgiving doesn’t have to kill you (written by my friend Marissa Lippert of Nourish) Food 52: Veganizing Thanksgiving Style Me Pretty: e-Thanksgiving guide (which is so gorgeous, by the way) Camille Styles: 10 Best: Dishes with a Twist …and of course My fall food Pinterest board My top picks, by course: appetizer: Pumpkin Bruschetta from Kwestia Smaku side dishes: Brussels Sprout Salad…
Guess what? Our blog is just about 1 year old and I finally have enough posts to do a proper roundup. So here are some of my top favorite fall recipes… and perhaps some Thanksgiving inspiration. (Click on the images to go to the recipes)
Last weekend, as the ACL music fest was getting underway and the traffic around our neighborhood was gridlocked, we bolted town for my friend Christie’s wedding. I’m totally crowd-phobic so in my mind she couldn’t have chosen a better weekend. Although, lets be real, I’m pretty camp-phobic too so this kind of getaway is out of the ordinary for us me. But it was such a fun, relaxing change of pace… it reminded me that we don’t always have to hop on a plane when we feel the itch to go somewhere.
I’m really excited (ok, totally flattered), to be on Aida Mollenkamp’s site today with a little interview sharing my keys to the kitchen. I always loved watching Aida on the Food Network, and I’m so excited to meet up with her this weekend while she’s in town for her Keys to the Kitchen book tour. She’s in Dallas and Houston today and tomorrow, but she has a really cool event happening in Austin this Sunday night at Hotel St. Cecelia. I think there are a few tickets left… if you live in Austin, you should come. Click here to go…
I’m excited today to share this tour of our kitchen on The Kitchn! As this post goes live, we will be on a way-too-long flight home from Spain… longing to be back home. We’ve had a great trip, but I am excited to get back to my kitchen. After two weeks of eating ourselves silly, a good healthy detox will be in order… And when that’s done, I’ve got a notebook full of travel-inspired recipe ideas to try out. Click here to go over to The Kitchn to view the rest of the tour… tons more photos of us, our kitchen,…
I promise next week… back to the recipes. Today is the last day of our trip, and I just have one last while-traveling travel post… Last week, Jack and I celebrated our third anniversary in Amsterdam. At dinner, I surprised him with this little detour I had planned to Barcelona for the last leg of our trip. I love a good surprise … and Jack is so oblivious to everything, which makes these things incredibly easy to pull off. We have a special place in our hearts for Barcelona – we were here about four years ago (he proposed to…
We’re onto our next destination, but I wanted to share some quick snapshots of our few days in Amsterdam… (we had a little snaffoo with the Berlin photos, I’ll share those later). A whole bunch of readers mentioned Cafe Winkel for the best apple pie in Amsterdam… (thanks readers!) It was the perfect stop while walking around the city on a cold and rainy afternoon. And it did not disappoint – it’s not as pastry-ey as American apple pie… it was more of a cross between pie and cake. Which I loved because, well, I like cake. Two nights ago,…
We’re in Berlin now, about to head out to dinner… we’ve walked about a million miles, and it feels nice to sit down and rest for a few minutes. Here are some snaps from our first night in London at Nopi… Ottolenghi’s newest restaurant. A big thank you to all of the readers who left comments recommending it! Jack started with a bourbon sour (pictured above). I had wine, but if I had been a little less jetlagged, I would have gotten a cocktail called The Saffron Chase (gin, elderflower liquer, lemon juice, saffron syrup & champagne). I’m still kicking myself a little bit…
We love to eat, travel, cook, and eat some more! We create & photograph vegetarian recipes from our home in Chicago, while our shiba pups eat the kale stems that fall on the kitchen floor.
