The Best Swimsuits & Coverups We Wore in Mexico

Just yesterday, our whole team woke up in sunny Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, then flew back home to North Carolina. We had an amazing trip together, just soaking up the much-needed beach time, but it's good to be home. While we were there, we had a fun little photoshoot featuring the best swimsuits and coverups […]

Pickled Beet Deviled Eggs | Chris Cooks

Deviled eggs are underrated. And also under-experimented with, considering eggs are one of the most versatile and widely-used ingredients out there. And even though we have bouts of egg-free eating, when Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas roll around I can't skip making a version of this tasty appetizer. Serving Platter | Ceramic Bunnies I also love […]

Ask Julia: What is the best self tanner?

Few things can boost my self-confidence quicker than freshly applied self-tanner. There's something about giving my skin a bit of a glow that gives me a pep in my step, especially when it comes to going on vacation! Long gone are the tanning bed days (anybody else shaking their head at their younger self?), so […]

Light & Healthy Easter Brunch

I tell myself that I'm not a brunch person. But what is brunch, but a late breakfast? And I'm definitely a late breakfast person so, I guess I am a brunch person. But particularly on holidays, when the brunch sets me up for the main meal coming later. My approach with brunch is simple. Keep […]

Cheese-less Potato Casserole - Grain & Dairy Free

Growing up in the Utah/Idaho corridor, "funeral potatoes" have been commonplace my entire life. Of course once people realized it was a bit of a dark name for such an amazing dish, many started calling it "cheesy potato casserole" instead. Whatever you call the dish, goodness sakes its hard to beat. Ruffled Baking Dish | […]

Chipotle Chicken Dip - Grain & Dairy Free | Chris Cooks

If I were a little more aware of what sports things happen when, I probably would have posted this a few weeks ago. But really, a good dip is always good. And this one is good. Free from grain, gluten, dairy, soy, egg - so creamy, a touch of spice, and lots of flavor. If […]

Iceberg Wedge Salad - Grain, Dairy, & Pork-Free

The classic "wedge" salad is one of my favorites. Crispy bacon, creamy blue cheese dressing, and the crisp, cool lettuce. But when Jules told me she was craving one, I knew that the version I made would need to stand on its own, and not just try to kinda recreate the original. No, the flavor […]

One Pan Roast Beef & Vegetables

Don't complicate it. If there's anything about cooking I want everyone to understand, it's that it doesn't need to be fancy. It doesn't need to be perfect, or plated, or polished. Food already tastes good. The stuff you buy at the store? It's already good! Some simple seasonings and an appropriate source of heat is […]

Everything I Drink in a Day

I once heard, "you're not sick; you're thirsty," and although I realize this is a blanket statement, it really made me evaluate my h2o intake. Hydration can do wonders for health, so I'm always making sure I get enough water throughout the day, but sometimes I like to mix it up (literally) by drinking more […]

Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse | Chris Cooks

For me, simple desserts are hard to beat. A scoop of good ice cream. A cool creme brûlée. A piece of cheesecake. But what do those all have in common? Dairy. So especially when it comes to a romantic dinner for two, desserts can be tough on those with food restrictions. And nothing kills romance […]
