Red and white are two gorgeous and diverse colors that get ignored quite a bit. Unless it's Christmas or Valentine's Day, they can both be overlooked for bright yellows and blues during the wamer months. There are plenty of gourgeous things in both white and red for your home other than holly berries and fake snow, including vintage-inspired first aid kits, salt and pepper shakers, and even shower curtains!

Not a brilliant baker but still want to impress your friends with something sweet at the end of a meal? This foolproof recipe is just what you've been looking for....When I first moved to Paris, I could barely prepare scrambled eggs. The gas stove in our former apartment needed to be lit manually with a match and I was more concerned about burning my fingers than learning to cook. Fortunately, my French husband is a patient soul who quickly taught me the basic...

I learned something odd this week. Did you know that pickled ginger you put on your sushi often contains aspartame? Seriously. I was reading the back of a carrot ginger salad dressing bottle and right there in the ingredients: aspartame. I took to the google machine and found out aspartame is used to pickle ginger in place of sugar. I would rather ingest the extra calories from sugar, thank you very much. So in an effort to avoid franken-food I'll be steering clear of the pretty pink mountain...

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that doesn’t have to entail a soggy piece of toast or a Pop-Tart. These muffins are quick to prepare and packed full of flavor to keep you satisfied all morning!Breakfast will forever remain my favorite meal of the day and a big bowl of cereal holds particular importance in my daily routine. Every so often, however, I need to shake up the morning with some scrambled...

I’m not exactly ready to let Valentine’s Day go. And really, the spirit of Valentine’s Day should live on year round, don’t you think? We should be telling those we love that we love them every day. We should be doing nice things for them every day. We should be making truffles for them (and ourselves) every day. Right?

There comes a time when we all have to grow up. Maybe it’s when you stopped falling asleep with a bucket next to your bed on weekends. We all have our life markers. I like to mark mine with shopping habits. In my early 20s, I threw my clothes everywhere, barely made the bed, stomped all over my mismatched towels and my idea of home decor was sticking a few kitschy magnets on my fridge. I like to partially blame all the random house shares I lived in. When you’re schlepping cardboard boxes and...

It's that time of year again. The most wonderful time of year, as far as I'm concerned. I'm all for homemade Christmas. But homemade Valentine's Day is really where it's at. Whip up these mini loaves, send them off tied up nice with a ribbon to a few potential suitors and wait for them to them to mob you Zack Morris style.

It's rare that anything Valentine's Day related makes me giddy with excitement. (Other than heart-shaped mixing bowls, of course.) But there is something about the Hummingbird Bakery's limited edition Box of Chocolates cupcakes that makes me want to light a few candles, pop open a bottle of bubbly, and get hot and heavy with this sweet box ...
