In 2018, hard seltzer was everywhere. White Claw took over coolers, bar menus, and party tables, and beer suddenly had real competition. So when Grant Wood—a brewmaster with decades of experience—floated the idea of nonalcoholic beer to major players like MillerCoors, it didn’t e … | Continue reading

As a luxury travel advisor, I send people all over the world to explore and make memories with their friends and families, and one place I recommend over and over is Mexico City (CDMX). I’ve spent time there myself and sent scads of clients there, too. CDMX, in my opinion, is sti … | Continue reading
If you ask someone to finish this sentence—“They’re climbing the corporate…”—I bet we’d all say the same thing. “Ladder,” right? That’s because the go-to analogy for career growth has always been a ladder: vertical, linear, and only room for one at the top. But what if we ditched … | Continue reading

My dad isn't much of a breakfast person. Like me, he lives to eat, but that takes shape mainly as a lunch, dinner, and snack pursuit. I've never known him to go crazy over a fried egg sandwich, or to make pancakes of his own accord. Most days, he has toast, either slathered with … | Continue reading
Good morning!

The crêpes were made, the eggs perfectly bedeviled when I noticed—with only a few minutes before my book club group was set to arrive—that the surface of my fridge was looking particularly grubby.

Just because it’s a kid’s birthday party doesn’t mean the adults can’t have fun too—and no, we’re not just talking about wine and beer in Solo cups (although that doesn’t hurt).

If you’ve ever thrown mushrooms into a pan and watched them shrivel up to almost nothing, you’re not alone. That’s because mushrooms are mostly water.

There are certain things I’ll always prefer to make at home—guacamole, pizza dough, pizza sauce... honestly, most sauces. Hummus is firmly on that list.

No doubt about it—matcha has soared in popularity in the U.S. over the past few years.

Who doesn’t love a special little beverage?

In an ideal world, there’s a jar of something pickled in my fridge at all times—hether it be red onions, pickled kale stems, or some napa cabbage I forgot to cook.
