This post is dedicated to my fall obsessed, PSL loving friend, Jessica. When the weather creeps down to just cool enough for a sweater and boots she is fully committed to the season. I mean who can blame her? Bonfires, football, chili, soup, flannels, sweaters, hats, and of course the gorgeous changing leaves. Her birthday happens to fall right in the middle of the season so we try to go (f)all out for her with a trip to the mountains and a classic autumn theme! Pumpkin spice

It's officially March aka St. Patty's Day month! In honor of this month's holiday we threw an Irish dinner party and I made a cheese and fruit board to celebrate the Irish Flag! For the green section I used a rosemary goat cheese "Rosie Goat", green bell peppers, cucumbers, granny smith apples, celery, kiwis, grapes, broccoli, and guac for dipping!

When I was going through my kitchen today looking for something fun to make I tried to take inventory of what I had in my house already. I always have a handful of onions in the pantry, butter is a staple, and I usually have an assortment of some cheeses. Luckily, I also had some puff pastry in the freezer so I decided to do my take on a appetizer I've made before. This recipe is an easy crowd pleaser but note it will usually require defrosting of the puff pastry and carameli

As I've mentioned before, my favorite way to feed a crowd is good charcuterie board! We had an impromptu bonfire last weekend with a few...

I first heard of this dish while watching the Netflix Show "Chef's Table: BBQ". There was an episode that featured the Mayan Chef, Rosalia Chay Chuc, and her iconic "Conchinita Pibil" dish. In typical Mayan culture, they would cook this pork dish in a pit in the ground. The beautiful meaning behind this, as she describes in the episode, is that what you take from the earth you give back to it. After watching the entire season of great BBQ recipes, I decided to try my hand on

One of my favorite parts of hosting friends or family is building a charcuterie board fit for a centerpiece. I love the creation process,...
