Sometimes the simplest thing is the best answer. The other day I was searching through the fridge, contemplating what to make for lunch. I looked past these lovely asparagus a few times thinking they...
Well hello there! Isn’t this just the loveliest cocktail? It tastes as good as it looks too—which is always key. The weather has been bonkers in NYC this week, the overarching theme is wet and ...
I wanted to end the week with a note about making friends and, of course, a delicious drink. When I started this blog forever ago (2008 to be exact), I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew I wan...
As I was making Remedy Quarterly deliveries in the city last Friday, I was so close to the Union Square Greenmarket that I decided that it was a must—especially now that new fruits and veggies keep p...
I have a few go-to things that I make for dinner each week—something in a tortilla and something on pizza dough. The tortillas and dough really act as a vehicle for whatever I have in the fridge at t...
I am so jazzed to announce the arrival of Issue 9: Escape. Not only is this issue full of the usual goodness—food memories and the recipes that inspired them—it also has 30% more pages! And those pag...
Ok, we all know the Kentucky Derby isn’t really about horse racing or busting out your fancy hats—it’s all about the mint juleps. Mint combined with a little sugar and a whole lotta bourb...
I’ve become a rhubarb stalker. It’s kind of embarrassing. In the past month I’ve repeatedly called stores to see if they have it; I’ve traveled to different markets just in ca...
Some days lunch just can’t come soon enough. I swear I just ate 2 hours ago, but all of a sudden my stomach is speaking to me—literally. Other days I just get lost in my day and all of a sudden...
There’s much to celebrate today my friends. First, it’s my first day as a self-employed lady! Woohoo! I am so excited about the opportunity to make this blog and my magazine bigger and be...
Ummm, two things. First I need more mineola tangelo in my life. How have I never enjoyed this tasty fruit?! Apparently they’re a blend of tangerines and grapefruit—whatever they are I’m i...
Since making the decision to quit my job and make my side projects my paying projects, I’ve experienced a whirlwind of emotions. Some days I wake up and I’m so awesomely excited, I just c...
Hellllooo, happy hour! Whew, it’s been a busy week around here. Between launching The Good Cheer Co web site and my awesome partnership with Food52 my head is spinning! Just in case you haven...
Since I mentioned it last week, I wanted to share one of my other ventures with you. My friend Caroline and I have started a little catering business called the The Good Cheer Co. We’ve been co...
What an exciting week it’s been! First of all, a big hello to new readers who are coming over from Saveur, where I was nominated for best recipe for my zuchinitini cocktail. What a lovely surpr...
I’m going to be honest here—I’m not usually a fan of floral flavors because they so often they taste like perfume. Lately I’ve been experimenting with lavender and I have to say, it...
This might be the shortest happy hour post ever—but it’s for good reason. The weather is so nice outside that I need to go out and enjoy it! But this drink is too good not to share… I hop...
Friends, lets talk about lentils. In my mind up until a few days ago lentils were pretty low on the list of things I’d want to have for lunch (or any meal for that matter). You see, my picky st...
Hellloooo Friday! It’s time for a refreshing cocktail, don’t you think? Well, let’s just get to the point and start sipping. This week I whipped up a simple cocktail that’s su...
This week I decided to combine two of my favorite flavors, blood orange and ginger, to create super-bright, energizing cocktail. Both flavors pack a lot of punch—blood orange is sweet and citrusy whi...
I have a soft spot for shortbread—those buttery, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are like a little piece of heaven that I just can’t pass up. So you know what happened when I was flipping through t...
Oh my, I do love Fridays! It’s been a great week in my world—I always love it when a new issue of Remedy Quarterly comes out. There’s a sense of relief that another issue is done and exci...
You may have noticed the lack of happy hour last week. It wasn’t because we didn’t have anything to celebrate—quite the opposite. I am so proud to announce the arrival of Issue 8: Adventu...
I make tacos for dinner way more often than I make anything else. They’re just easy and always delicious… I don’t care what you throw in there, if it’s in a tortilla, we’...
Hellloooo happy hour! I’ve been waiting for you all week! Thank goodness I have a long weekend to look forward to, because this week was a whopper. One thing I know, this little number is a per...
When I was a kid I hated french toast—even the smell would make me run and hide. I was also the kind of picky kid who loved waffles but hated pancakes. My poor mother. I’m happy to say that tim...
Well, Valentine’s Day is upon us. Some of you may roll your eyes, some may jump for joy and most will probably be somewhere in the middle. I see it as a day to slow down, take a time out and ju...
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this may be the best thing I’ve had made this year; and that’s coming from someone who turned up her nose at cauliflower for the first 28 ...
How pretty is that?! Man, I’m loving the all the citrus available right now. This week I went to the Manhattan Fruit Exchange and picked up sweet lemons, sweet limes and sour oranges, 3 variet...
February is here! Can you believe it? I kind of can’t—this year is flying by already! But even though it’s whizzing by doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, right? This is a drink I...
