Palm Beach Classic
A true classic, Marylou Whitney (or Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney as she was known back then) was the epitome of the Palm Beach hostess: beautiful, elegant, welcoming, a great cook and a gracious entertainer. Her luncheons and dinner parties were legendary, be they in Saratoga, NY, Lexington, KY or Palm Beach.
Spring Greens
All eyes are on asparagus right now (just ask The New York Times and check out their latest recipes) but my favorite is as straightforward as it is delicious. Sometimes, on spring nights when I’m on my own for dinner, I’ll wrap asparagus spears in slices of prosciutto, drizzle them with a little olive oil and cracked pepper and throw them in the toaster oven.
Lemonade from Scratch
With warmer weather comes warm-weather drinks and among them, lemonade surely takes the (lemon drizzle) cake. No matter the time of day or circumstances, truly nothing tastes better on a hot day than a cool glass of lemonade. Our favorite includes pomegranate juice and seeds, which add just the right amount of je ne sais quoi.
Spring Break Staycation
It’s always around this time of year where we run out of dinner ideas, and cooking feels like even more of a chore. Add to that the fact that few of us are traveling for spring break, and we’ve decided to bring spring break to us: set the table with beachy place settings, pour some fun and fruity cocktails and mocktails, and try a new recipe or two. Read on for some dinner ideas (tiny cocktail umbrellas sold separately) and use your best judgement in terms of quantities. Who has time for measuring ingredients these days!

When Life Hands You Lemons...
We might be past the days of giving ourselves “natural highlights” with lemon juice and unabashed sunbathing, but having a bowl full of lemons on hand is always a good idea. They’re beautiful to look at, particularly in a glass or our bamboo cane bowls, but also incredibly useful for everything from cleaning your microwave to making pancakes. Read on for our favorite lemon uses, from the sublime to the… pragmatic.
Winter Blues Breakfasts
Winter mornings, when we rise before the sun, have to bundle up the minute we leave our cozy beds and then again before we dare leave the house, are rough. A warm and filling ‘stick-to-your-ribs’ breakfast is just the ticket to help put a spring in your step—until we actually get to spring. And including some goodness like antioxidant-rich blueberries, protein-filled nuts and fiber-filled seeds is guaranteed to keep your bod happy. Read on for three favorite, no-cook winter breakfasts.
New Year New You
No one would fault you for not making a new year’s resolution this year—we’ve had a lot on our plates… But there is something to be said for putting down some goals for the new year, starting with a fresh slate and trying to stick to them. Our resolutions, however, are a bit kinder and hopefully a bit easier to accomplish. And we’ve tried to come up with ways we can help. Read on for our 2021 Resolutions and shop the New Years Resolutions Collection now.
Treat Yourself!
We’d like to propose a new national holiday, and one that should last for at least a week. The seven or so days after Christmas, before New Years, when pure exhaustion has overcome even the perkiest of Santa’s helpers, we think those very elves should treat themselves. We could even call it Treat Yourself Week. Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted after all, or maybe that $20 from grandma is burning a hole in your pocket—whatever the case may be, this is the time to go ahead and get what you want for yourself. Read on for our favorite Pomegranate pieces that will be sure to make you feel “treated”!
‘Twas the Week Leading to Christmas
It feels like the holidays snuck up on us this year, and if you’re in need of some good ole holiday spirit, you’re not alone. From movie streaming and holiday snacking to mini road trips and paper snowflakes, this might be the year for some lay-it-on-thick traditions—old and new. Read on for our favorite ways to feel the spirit.
