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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

Last weekend, Erin and I headed to Sag Harbor to cater a super chic quarter-century birthday bash. It was a match made in foodie heaven: I met the birthday girl’s mother at a Café Boulud wine dinner, she became a reader of my blog, and the rest, as they say, is history. To make the [...]

It’s almost here! Mr. Mix and I shuffled off to Buffalo yesterday and will attempt our first ever cycling event to raise money for the cancer research and treatment center that cured my Mamma and continues to fight for every patient who walks through their doors. The Ride for Roswell bike-a-thon has become this all-important [...]

The wait is over! There has been a month-long drought since introducing our last Maven of the Month, but thankfully, today’s fresh and inspiring feature promises to make up for it. June’s Maven offers an essential dose of sugar, spice and everything nice…quite the departure from the snotty antics of mavens’ past. Meet Kris Schoels–the [...]

Carrots get a bad rap. Though delicious and nutritious, their omnipresence and bright color often lumps them into the category of “childhood snack”. Raw carrots are the territory of preschool sandwich baggies; though obviously, carrots for adults do exist–I just don’t see them on menus as often as I might like. I’m trying to change [...]
