One of the most common questions I get is, “What do I need in my home bar?” I’ve been getting a lot more of these questions lately since I started hosting my nightly virtual happy hour on Instagram. In the interest of taking some of the guesswork out of the art of building a well-curated…

Elvis French Toast
Since all of us non-essential workers have begun working from home indefinitely it’s like a fun game of “What day is it anyway?” One day slowly bleeds into the next without any discernible beginning or end. There are two obvious upsides to losing your place on the space-time continuum. First, any hour can be happy…
Earl Grey Sour
Today is the first day of Spring and I’m marking the occasion with a little help from my friends at Sipsmith who generously gifted me this bottle of their London Dry Gin, a couple of Fever Tree tonics and their SIP 100 Gin Cocktails With Only 3 Ingredients book. I wanted to feature a cocktail…
Chickpea Bowls with Fennel Slaw
What a year this past week has been. The COVID-19 outbreak has fundamentally changed the way we live in a matter of days. This is a stressful and uncertain time. Over the weekend I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, thinking about what would come to pass, for me…
Empire State Sipper
I’m very excited to announce that I will soon be introducing fashion content to the blog. Today’s post is kind of dipping my toe in the water, a mix of fashion, some photos featuring moi, and a delicious cocktail recipe. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I often share…
Midsummer Gin Dream
A friend reached out and asked if I could feature some easier cocktails that don’t require any hard-to-find ingredients, days of infusing, or an array of bar tools that you don’t own. So, here is the Midsummer Gin Dream, a simple, build-in-glass cocktail that is a subtle riff on the standard gin and tonic. Because…
White Chocolate Lemon Pots de Crème
Last year I featured a Chocolate Balsamic Pots de Crème recipe on the blog – easily one of the most decadent desserts I’ve published to date. Today’s White Chocolate Lemon Pot de Crème recipe is the perfect counterpoint to the last one. Both versions use acid – one in the form of balsamic vinegar and…
Tequila Surprise
I have returned from my extra long weekend in Austin with my limbs and dignity intact, although I may have put back on some of the weight I’d lost in my Whole30 Challenge. I ventured on this indulgent four-day trip of eating and drinking with my friends and coworkers Kayla and Josie. In advance of…
Middle Eastern Meatballs on Mini-Pita Crisps
Greetings from Austin, Texas! And Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you celebrating today. As discussed, I am spending this Hallmark holiday with two of my girlfriends on a long weekend escape to the live music capital of the world. While we’re not here for one of the big music festivals that Austin plays host…
Superhero Sipper
God bless – booze is back on the blog. It has been a hot minute since we wrapped up the 2019 edition of the Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar on December 24th and I am REJOICING to have my shaker back in hand because I need a drink. I’m jumping in with both feet…
