Holiday Soiree

Friday, December 10th, 2010
I just love the way this photo from West Elm is styled- so festive and fun! Plus, any party with macaroons on the dessert table is one I’d like to be invited to. I hope you have a great weekend filled with friends, parties, sequins and maybe even a little mistle toe.

It’s getting to be about that time where I’m craving an afternoon sugar fix. I think a candy colored assortment of macaroons would do just the trick. Pretty and delicious!

Plates Galore

Monday, July 26th, 2010


My favorite week of summer is right around the corner…restaurant week! I already have three reservations made and one more in the works. As my dad used to tease, we might just have to widen the doors! I thought this Marc Burstyn photo was all too appropriate for the occasion. So many pretty plates. Anyone else ready for a restaurant week binge? I plan on logging some serious gym hours so I can enjoy guilt free and avoid any door widening!

P.S For the locals, any favorite restaurants I should add to my growing list?

Channeling Julia in 2010

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
One of my newly penned goals for 2010 is to spend a little more time in the kitchen. I actually really enjoy cooking, it’s just a matter of making time for it. After a few hours in the Cooking section of Barnes and Noble I think I’ve found some cookbooks that will have me reaching for my apron instead of a take-out menu in the future.

No list of cookbooks would be complete without a little Julia! I’ll definitely be asking my grandmother if I can borrow this classic.

I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but this one is so beautiful how could I not want to take a look inside? I’ll have to settle for mastering these recipes until I’m finally able to take my dream vacation to Greece.

Ditto to this book devoted to Italian cooking. I’ll have to make sure to pair this one with extra visits to the gym.
Apparently this book is known as “the bible of french home cooking.” If it’s good enough for all the chic French women it’s good enough for me!
Are there any cookbooks you can’t live without? I’d love to hear them!
