Everyone has their own traditional New Year’s foods. Some swear by black eyed peas, but as a devout Yankee, I never quite got the hang of them (though heaven knows we could all use a bit of luck at the start of a new year). Goose is ever-popular; if we’re going to get symbolic, I’d [...]

Pine Potpourri
Tis the season for baking cookies, flipping potato pancakes, mixing champagne cocktails and simmering pine potpourri!?!? Yep, you read that right…pine potpourri. This year Mr. Mix and I put up our very first Christmas tree; living in New York City these last 15 years, I didn’t ever have room for a full-fledged tree. But the [...]

The Proof is in the Pudding, by Annabelle
Hello, readers! I’m happy to finally introduce myself to you, though I’ve been here for some time. For the last two years I’ve worked beside Kimberly, and today marks my debut as a guest blogger in my own right.

Boston vs. New York
I never thought I’d say it. I thought I’d rue the day. It surprises no one more than me, but it is true. I do not miss New York City. It’s been four months since I moved, and no, I haven’t really stayed away. I’ve been back to NYC for weeks at a time each [...]

Castles, Cabernet, Conferences…and Karats, by Erin
It’s no secret, as past posts will attest, autumn is my favorite season. The changing leaves and abundance of apples at the Union Square Farmers’ Market make me yearn for trips home to Connecticut to bake pies with my Mother, where we trade in our chilled chardonnay for spicier cabernets. Not only are autumnal foods [...]

Spill The Beans
Spill The Beans from Kimberly Belle on Vimeo. It’s not just string beans that are spilling over onto menus this season; I’m bursting at the seams with news of my own. As the August sun starts to sizzle and the summer harvest begins to bloom, it’s time for me to come clean and spill the [...]

Hot, Haute & Hamptons, By Erin
Well friends, there’s no doubt it’s been a hot summer so far. If you’re like me, you’ve been running up your Con Edison bill, doubling your daily iced coffee quota, and finding any excuse in the book to get the hell out of Brooklyn and onto the beach! It’s usually right around this time of [...]

Edible Travel Necessities: The New Brown Bag
Whether by train, plane or automobile, any excuse to pack up and skip town is a welcome relief come the blistering summer sun. When the city becomes a sauna, that’s my ticket to head somewhere–anywhere, beach bound. While many of us find ourselves overindulging the second that out-of-office auto response has been set, starting your [...]

Summer in the City
July 4th has always served as my unofficial start to summer, and this year, it truly did take ‘til then for the weather to finally heat up, the farmers’ markets to finally bloom and my summer recipes to finally feel at home ‘round my table. Just back from a much needed retreat in the Buff [...]

Market Report: Stinging Nettles
Today marks both the first official day of summer and my first antibiotic-free day in three weeks! Late spring in New York means piles of fresh produce, bustling farmers’ markets, gardens in bloom, and…tissues. While half of the city has been battling allergies in one of the worst seasons in memory, I’ve been stuck with [...]
