With Thanksgiving coming up I should be blogging about pumpkin pies and turkey, but here I am sharing a salad recipe. It’s so silly of me, but this is one I shot/wrote a while back during the tail-end of kumquat season, saved a draft and never shared. Well, better late than never! This one is […]
With the holidays right around the corner, I’ve started testing a few fall-inspired recipes for Thanksgiving. And since the weather is FINALLY offering a little reprieve, I’m cranking the oven up–way up–for this post! Since many of my friends are gluten-intolerant, I’m always researching gluten-free dishes that don’t compromise on flavor or texture. Pamela’s sent me their […]
I love to feed people. Mind, body, and soul. This has a lot to do with my parents, who are the most gracious hosts. Have you eaten yet? Are you thirsty? Even if you’re neither of the two, the chances are that my mom will start nudging food your way and my dad will pour you […]
After apartment-dwelling in Los Angeles for the last 15 years (time flies), I’ve learned something: space is a luxury, not a necessity. Though I’d still love to have a yard someday so I can finally rescue a pup, I’ve embraced the tiny space that I call home. I’ve turned it into a place where work, life […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I’m sharing this fun, fall-inspired recipe for Chai Spiced Pancakes with Apple Compote! You can find it over on the Anthropologie blog. Enjoy!
Did you ever watch that show Cribs on MTV? Well, if you did, you’ll remember that silly–yet catchy–line used every time they revealed the bedroom: they would say “and this is where the magic happens!” Well, if I ever gave a house tour that would be a line reserved for my kitchen and dining area. […]
I’m a huge fan of the sweet-tart flavor of kombucha, so the first time I tried a shrub (a vinegar and fruit syrup based soda, not to be mistaken for a woody plant!!) at Baco Mercat, I was hooked. And when I find something new that I like, I immediately research everything under the sun about […]
Great news! For those of you who were on the waitlist for my last workshop, I’m happy to announce that I’ll be returning to the Annenberg Space for Photography for another workshop this month. I’ll be guiding you through prop usage and styling techniques that help create a visual story. I’ll also be sharing iPhoneography […]
You know when you eat a salad and get hungry 30 minutes later? Well I promise that won’t happen if you make this roasted cauliflower, zesty chickpea, mozzarella and mizuna salad with yogurt dressing. (The name itself is a mouthful if that’s any indication!) This is what I make when I want a hearty […]
I love restaurants that make it easy–and delicious–to get your recommended 4-5 servings of vegetables per day. So when my friends at Veggie Grill invited me over to check out their Summer menu, I happily popped by the Santa Monica location for lunch. It’s a fast-casual place, which makes it perfect for a quick, veggie-centric meal. Here […]
