This is one of the more requested breakfast dishes around here. I'm not a big fan of sweet breakfast foods, but this hash is more savory than sweet, with a comforting flavor. Some things I used: Cutting Board Knife Cast Iron Pan Wooden Spoon Mixing Bowls Bowls A filling and tasty breakfast that's good enough […]
I've struggled to know when or where or how to share that I've been struggling. Because I don't want this space to be about that. I want to talk about easy things like fall decor or picking an exterior paint color (okay, that's kind of hard), or even controversial things like faux plants. Ha! But […]
If you're ever around Julia when I tell her this is what we're having for dinner, without exception you will hear her say, "That is my absolute favorite thing you make." The flavor is rich and warm and perfect for cooler weather (or anytime, really), and it's just a comforting meal. Paired with cardamom-scented rice, […]

So much progress was made on the cabin this week! I'm actually having trouble sleeping because so much is happening at one time and being not right in the middle of it is both very exciting and also a little nerve-wrecking. The main fireplace is completely framed in, the HVAC is done and the floors […]
Pho is an amazingly complex, flavorful and comforting Vietnamese soup. And while the popularity of this soup has brought with it countless tutorials on how to make it, there are times where you crave it now and don't have 18+ hours to slow simmer a bone broth. This recipe is rich, with flavors that mimic […]

This is a dish that is good to have in your back pocket, because of how versatile it is. Rich flavors, but also amazingly light due to being mostly vegetables. Pair with pasta, polenta, rice, or just eat as-is. Watch the full video for this recipe. A simple dish that can be turned into a […]

Tomato basil soup is a classic, and always a staple around here when summer draws to a close. This version takes advantage of Thai ingredients that still work really well with the dish's traditional flavors. Watch how to make this soup. A classic, dressed up with Thai flavors that might just turn this soup into […]
If you're familiar with what a clam bake is, don't compare this to that. This is closer to a low country seafood boil, but is done with vegetables, wrapped in tin foil and baked in the oven. And yes, it's keto-friendly and super yummy. Though I use snow crab legs, you could use clams instead, […]

Last week, I added a few new save and splurge items to my skincare routine I wanted to share. A couple months ago, I tried Lancome's micellar water as a makeup remover/toner. It worked well, but it was also $40 and I didn't feel like it was that good. So when it ran out I was looking […]
Lemon pepper salmon is a pretty common dish, though it usually refers to salmon sprinkled with a premade lemon pepper seasoning. Though I've had my share of that version, and don't mind it at all, this is the version I prefer. A perfectly cooked salmon portion, with a sauce of cream, roasted peppers, and lemon […]
This has been a roller-coaster week! First of all, thank you SO much for the overwhelming response to the CLJ Design Services we launched with Modsy yesterday! It's honestly such a dream come true and something we've been working for months on. To see so many of you just as excited has been so rewarding. […]
