Irish Cream Frappé Recipe with Torani

Irish Cream Frappé Recipe with Torani

This post is sponsored by Torani, recipe and opinions are my own 🙂 We’ve been having some really bright sunny days here in New York recently. A couple of days have even reached around 60 degree temperatures! With these warmer days, the parks are buzzing and the streets just feel way more livelier! I absolutely love it.  I’m a huge coffee person, the type that will drink 3 cups a day without…

Dinner at Gurney's Newport [Travel: Rhode Island]

Dinner at Gurney’s Newport [Travel: Rhode Island]

This last summer really really flew by! It was my first summer being back in New York after having spent the last few years living in California so I was really excited to be able to connect with old friends. It felt like there was something going on every weekend! Towards the end of the summer, one of my favorite trips was when Peter and I went to Newport Rhode Island to celebrate my 30th…

Taro Teapuccinos and The Gooiest Chocolate Chip Cookie!

I’ve been going through a lot of my old photos lately and realized there’s A LOT of content that never made it to the blog. One place I posted to Instagram a while back but never wrote about on the blog is Besfren NYC. I would say they are probably most well known for their ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies (which you can see above). The trick is to wait until a new batch comes out of the oven so…

Pairing Pinot Noir with Fig & Pistachio Toasts

Pairing Pinot Noir with Fig & Pistachio Toasts

Pinot Noir is one of my favorites wines, it’s easy to drink and pairs nicely with a lot of my favorite foods! Recently, the team at Peter Yealands reached out and asked me for a pairing recommendation for their Pinot Noir. 

I’m an avid entertainer so I immediately wanted to create something that would be great to make for a party or entertaining a group of friends. This wine is light and…

Playa Mesa Brunch in Costa Mesa, California

Playa Mesa Brunch in Costa Mesa, California

You know how they say you don’t realize what you have until you start missing it? I feel like I’ve experienced that quite frequently with all my moving around lately. When I was living in NYC I was yearning for open air and outdoor adventures but when I left I missed the freedom NYC gave me and the ability to travel the city at any hour and have a list of things I could still do regardless of how…

Parm Crisps: Cheesy Crispy Bites that are Perfect for Parties & Appetizers!

Parm Crisps: Cheesy Crispy Bites that are Perfect for Parties & Appetizers!

City Vineyard is a cute spot along the Hudson that I’ve been wanting to check out for a while now. Sami and I like to go running along the path over there and always pass by it but have not had the chance to stop in. When Parm Crisps reached out and said they were hosting an event there I was 100% in. Cheese & wine? What could be better! For the event, we were out side overlooking the water and…

Leek and Mushroom Frittata with a Spoonful of Maille (Recipe)

Leek and Mushroom Frittata with a Spoonful of Maille (Recipe)

When it comes to brunch are you more of a sweet or savory person? I used to have an intensely sweet tooth but lately I’ve been gravitating towards savory dishes. Especially around springtime because of all the fresh, crisp veggies that pop up at farmer’s markets.

I’m pretty close to both the Brentwood farmers market and the Santa Monica farmers market so whenever I can sneak out for an hour…

Los Angeles: Lunch at The Henry

Los Angeles: Lunch at The Henry

It is undeniable that having good weather year round in Los Angeles is great mainly because dining al fresco extends way beyond the summer months. A few weekends back, when there was an extra day off, I took the time to wander around the surrounding neighborhoods and had the chance to pop into the Henry.

I loved how large the space was at the Henry. I do like when places are intimate and cozy…

Peter Yealand's Sauvignon Blanc + A Lemon Cake = The Perfect Evening

Peter Yealand’s Sauvignon Blanc + A Lemon Cake = The Perfect Evening

These days, I’ve learned to appreciate “girls night IN” more than “girls night OUT”. After a long work week or hectic day, there’s nothing better than having a couple of your closest friends over to enjoy a chilled bottle of wine and some sweet treats.

And the other day I did just that! I’m really loving on this eco-focused wine brand I came across called Peter Yealands. My favorite variety…

Donut Savant in Oakland, California

I’ve been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit the Bay Area in California often. When I am there, I usually spend most of my time in San Francisco however, on the last trip I had a chance to explore the surrounding areas as well. I headed over to Oakland to check out the scene and stumbled upon the cutest little donut shop called Donut Savant. They had really creative flavors…

Buttermilk Doughnut Bundt Baking & The Brooklyn Community Fridge

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend and I hope everyone was able to honor the weekend safely and in good health. I am truly grateful for all of the sacrifices that so many in this country have made so that we can be free and live the lives that we do. Because of those brave enough to fight for our freedom, we are able to see and spend time with our friends and family – something that I am…
