Cool New App

By: Anna
I cherish my library of cookbooks and refer to them often for ideas. But the problem with books is they don't change.

Your New Winter Boots

By: Anna
This winter I'm lucky to be doing a lot of something I love, which is spending time in the snowy mountains. From snowshoeing to skate skiing to swishing through fresh powder in the unbeatable terrain of Whistler, sipping hot chocolate in a quaint village in the Rockies or barreling down a mountain in Colorado, I love to play in the snow. — Read More —

Vegging Out

By: Anna
Over the Christmas holidays I was asked to bring escarole lettuce to a new year's eve dinner party. The host had forgotten to pick it up. I had to go to four grocery stores to find it, but I'm glad I finally did. It was added to soup, right before serving. Crazy good! Lettuce in soup. I had no idea this was a thing. — Read More —

My Christmas Photo Album

By: Kristina
Back in the day, the day before smart phones with built in cameras, Christmas was one of the few times of year we remembered to take photos in my family. I'm betting it was the same at your house too. I love going back over the old pics, reflecting on the various Christmases: the meals, the guests, the presents and of course, the squabbles! — Read More —

Makeup Tips From A Pro

By: Anna
Makeup application is a bit like cooking. That is, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve and I can do a smokey eye as well as I can pull off smokey spare ribs. But just when I think I've got it (mostly) all figured out I run into a Michelin starred make-up artist and it reminds me how much better the pros can do it. — Read More —
