Is there anything more fun than a breakfast or brunch charcuterie board??? Perhaps a board that is geared towards kids and loaded up with their favorites? Piled with all kinds of fruit, mini cereal bowls and milk shooters, cherry Poptarts (my kids' fave, made even more amazing in their eyes by …

grazing platter for mother’s day brunch
What better time to work on perfecting my current favorite trend- THE GRAZING PLATTER - than during quarantine, while everyone is home 24-7 and our kitchen basically rivals the Great British Baking Show for flour usage. And this extra pretty, baked-goods-heavy, fruit filled Mother's Day brunch …
blackberry rosemary sparkling lemonade
This might be my favorite time of the year- spring blooms, warmer weather, pool days reappearing on our schedule (WOOHOO!), and all of summer stretched out in front of us. We love to grill out year round, but when spring arrives, it seems like our grill use doubles, as does our dinner guest tally. I …
celebration pancakes (“crazy cakes”)
Once upon a time, when we lived in Saipan and popped over to Seoul a couple times a year for long weekend in the city, Burke and Pi (ok, and also their mama) were super into Crazy Shakes. There was an O Shakes in Seoul near several of our go-to restaurants and we loved trying the wild piles of …
crispy spicy sweet potatoes
Even though these sort-of-crunchy and just-a-little-kick-spicy sweet potatoes aren't necessarily a Christmas-y side dish (in fact, I made them the first time for Easter brunch), they fit right in with a fall-ish, winter-ish holiday menu, making them perfection for this time of the year. Plus …
dragonfruit smoothie recipe
We can’t get enough of dragon fruit around here- even though the taste is super mild (similar to a kiwi), dragon fruit smoothies are absolutely the most fun. Because, bright pink! Also, since we are trying to eat as many fresh mangoes as we can before we leave the tropics, pretty much all …
not quite voodoo doughnuts (but still tasty!)
So living overseas is great, and it’s super tricky. It’s great because beach. And travel. And family time. And a whole new world. And it’s rough because it’s just so far. And a whole new world. We have a long list of things we miss from home. The list is mostly made up of food. And Voodoo …
citrus glazed donuts
Burke's Pirate Birthday Brunch was this weekend (we are still recovering- whew!). While I am editing five hundred pictures, I thought I'd share these semi homemade citrus glazed donuts with y'all. You need them- probably tomorrow, actually. Burke had two requests for the brunch menu- homemade …
brunch idea: yogurt parfait bar
A couple weeks ago I threw a brunch baby shower for a dear friend and we made a yogurt parfait bar. It was SO simple to put together and all the guests loved it. We pre-filled mini mason jars with the yogurt custard (recipe below) the night before which made it super easy to assemble in the morning. …
