A Summer Thirst Quencher We’re having a relatively quiet summer around here. No big European adventures and our travel plans are centered around family time in Sun Valley, Idaho, and San Diego. But when we’re at home in Houston, battling the humidity and trying not to spontaneously combust, there’s nothing like a cold Aperol spritz…

Grapefruit Paloma
A Light and Refreshing Summer Tequila Cocktail It’s completely redundant to call this a grapefruit paloma. All palomas are made with grapefruit. If you’ve ever had this refreshing cocktail, you know it’s either made with grapefruit soda or fresh grapefruit juice. It’s a light, bright and lower calorie cocktail that’s perfect for summer poolside celebrations….
Gluten-Free Berry Crisp

Jalapeño Green Goddess
When some of your favorite women entrepreneurs and style mavens invite you to a garden party, the response is YES! The second response is, “What can I bring?” What to serve at a garden party? Crudité all day! I decided to find as many seasonal, beautiful vegetables as possible and fill up boards and platters…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 19
SUNDAY Current situation: Poolside with a glass of white wine discussing takeout options. It’s been a perfect Mother’s Day. We had a big Mexican lunch and the last thing I can think about is dinner. If you’re cooking at home, I’d suggest something simple like steaks or tri tip on the grill, grilled asparagus and…
