With summer right around the corner, I thought I would do a recipe roundup of some delicious summer foods that do not require the oven or stove. Using either during the hot summer months can be brutal, so I try to avoid it at all costs. Below are some of my favorite no-cook summer recipes….

My Mom’s Best Baking Tips
I’ve mentioned this plenty before, but my mom is a fantastic baker. I’ve learned so much by watching her mix, stir, roll, ice, and slice in the kitchen. My mom would admit she is a total perfectionist, and I think that is what makes her such a great baker. I, personally, don’t have the same…

NYC: Experimental Cocktail Club
I had an amazing time in NYC this past weekend. Travis and I crammed so much into four short days. Part of the reason we were going to NYC was so Travis and his best friend, Ben, could celebrate their birthdays together with a bunch of our friends from college. The entire weekend was packed…
We Finally Have Groceries
After two weekends of traveling, I was really looking forward to a low-key weekend. I had a blast in Las Vegas for my company’s retreat and in NYC visiting all our friends, but a weekend at home was very needed. There were one million errands and to-dos I needed to catch up on. My biggest…

Muhammara (Roasted Red Pepper Dip)
The first time I tried Muhammara was at Momed, a modern Mediterranean restaurant in Beverly Hills. I had never head of it before, but the waitress kindly let us sample some before we placed our order. Upon our first bites, Travis and I looked at each other with huge grins on our faces. We both LOVED…
A Weekend of Delicious Food and Even Better Weather
It was a gorgeous weekend in LA. I made a concerted effort to stay inside as little as possible so I could soak up all the sun. Because of that, time in my kitchen was minimal, and Travis and I ate a few delicious meals out. Saturday night, we made reservations at Wildcraft Sourdough Pizza…
