With beach vacations being discussed, it has become officially time to kick some new year healthy eating up a notch (or three). This can be a challenge as one of my favorite ways to de-stress from the week is coming home on Friday nights, crack a bottle of vino, and have my way around the…

Sweet Potato Hash
I realize I’m late to the scene on this, but I’m happy to report the ultimate life hack lives up to its name. That’s right, hash browns in the waffle iron. Pros: Insta-hashbrowns. No added oil for frying. Worried about shredded potato sticking, but it was no problemo at all. Cons: Where has this been…
Restaurant Review: Bird and Bone
As far as hotel restaurants go, the Bird and Bone at The Confidante is definitely up there. It’s super low-key, has excellent service (and should for an automatic 20% across Miami), and the food. Oh. the. food. And the name, cheeky AF, so you know I love it. Over a three-day weekend, I managed three…
It’s Friday, I’m in Love…
..with Miami! While, I don’t regret moving away from the madness, I still subscribe that three days down there is the perfect cure for what ails you. Certainly, cured me of a brutal last couple of weeks. So I share with you, my little loves of the Magic City.. A good hotel. A cool room…
Restaurant Review: Doa
My first night in Miami over the weekend was spent, blissfully watching the sun set over the city and attempting to catch up with girlfriends over the more-than-conversation level of DJ music at the Standard’s gorgeous outdoor bar. Restaurant ideas for dinner were tossed around and we all settled on Doa, the newest outpost of…
Friday, I’m In Love
Thank👏🏼God👏🏼this👏🏼week👏🏼is👏🏼over.👏🏼 This week was ROUGH. Professionally, personally. So glad it’s over! I’m heading to Miami this morning for a foodie party at a yacht club. How fun is that? Hopefully, that redeems the gristly week. So… not too much happened. Just a cool 80 hours (literally) of staring into the needy eyes of Excel files….
Cooking My Way Onto the Catwalk
Great news, ya’ll! Chef Jaime drank the super model Kool-Aid (which tastes a lot like vino)!! She’s on board with cheesy, carb-laden dishes, just like they teach you in super model school. Thank goodness – it was getting lonely over here, just me and Chrissy in the kitchen every weekend. Here’s the first leg of Chef…
Monday, I Don’t Care About You…
While Monday is probably the worst day for the Cure’s lyrics, it’s all we have today and I’m grossly behind on filling you in on all my little loves. Here are snaps of the past week (or two). Apologies that they are so booze-centric. I really have been quite healthy during the week. First on…
The Super Model Project: French Toast Casserole
I’ve been wanting to make this recipe for so long that this past weekend I strong armed a bunch of friends who like to cook into having a potluck brunch. We were all iced/snowed in and what else did we have to do anyway? Finally. My casserole. After calling around to local markets during Snowmageden…
The Super Model Projet: Pot Pie Soup
After the awful Margarita chicken experience, I am happy to report that Chrissy Teigan more than redeemed herself with her Pot Pie Soup with Crust Crackers. I am SO glad to know that this is how super models get their bodies, because I could eat this every single day and be very satisfied. Recipe at…
The Super Model Project: Margarita Chicken
Moving forward with my Super Model project this snowy weekend, I tried not one but FOUR recipes from Cravings . Two were outstanding, as most are, and two I will not be making again. Let’s start with the bad news first. While Teigan’s recipes are generally super flavorful, many I’ve tried seem to take a…
It’s Friday, I’m In Love
Little daily pleasures make life worth living. So in an effort to appreciate them all the more, I thought I’d start sharing mine each week. Here’s how the first week of the year turned out. Flower Deliveries. Even better if they’re from your crush. 😉 Seventeen red roses to start 2017 was just the day…
