Cleansing Carrot Soup
This is the time of year for spring cleaning which not only means dusting the top of the fridge, (when was the last time?) but now that Easter/Passover holidays are over, it’s also a good time to do a little cleaning from the inside out. I usually do a juice cleanse this time of year […]
Watermelon Radish and Cream Cheese Toasts (Smoked Salmon Optional)
I love watermelon radishes! They are a bright, beautiful addition to the winter table. These are one of my favorite appetizers to serve around the holidays. They are quick and easy, not too heavy, and always a big hit. I am growing them in my garden this winter but they weren’t quite ready for the […]
Picked Peppers Pico De Gallo
All through early fall there has been a plethora of peppers in our garden. Jalapeño, bell peppers, Anaheim and a variety of small sweet peppers abound. Quite frankly, I have peppers coming out of my ears. There are also spring onions, lots of them, so I was excited when I saw there were still beautiful heirloom tomatoes […]
Palm Beach Warm Brussels Sprout Caesar
I had a modeling job in Miami last week for a couple of the coolest clients I’ve ever worked for. I’ll be honest, I had never heard of The Doves until I was booked for this hair show for Wella but when I told my friend and hairdresser Shannon Griffin I was working with them she said […]

Politics and Peach Heirloom Tomato Burrata Salad

It was an inspiring evening and I […]
Fried Green Tomato with Lobster Salad and Lima Bean Puree
This recipe was inspired by a dish I had at a wonderful but now defunct restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard called Bittersweet. I remembered seeing the recipe in a magazine years ago while on vacation. After doing some calculations I ordered a copy of the July 2006 issue of Martha’s Vineyard Magazine and crossed my fingers. […]
Summer Recipe Inspiration or the Lazy Girl’s Blog Post
With Summer drawing to an end, I sat down yesterday to look over photos from the last few months and realized there were several recipes I intended to write but didn’t quite get around to. Many of the dishes are so simple no recipe is really needed. Since I often get ideas about what to cook […]
Heirloom Tomato Goodness
Summer tomatoes are finally here! With whimsical names like Green Zebra, Brandywine, Lollypop, Pineapple each heirloom tomato seems to taste better than the next. In fact there may be nothing better than a fresh cut heirloom tomato EXCEPT- a fresh cut heirloom tomato with a sprinkle of truffle salt and a light drizzle of very […]
