Light, Bright, + White {Wine}
If there’s ever a time that I love to host parties at my house, it’s during the month of December. Gimme all the sparkle and all the glam...sweets help, too!
What’s a party without wine? Let’s be honest, nearly every one of my girlfriends prefers wine over anything else so having a strong inventory is paramount to a successful event. Having the right mix of whites, reds and sparkling is the obvious next step. That’s why I always start with Cavit.
I always have a wine rack of Cavit’s Pinot Grigio. This fresh, fruity white wine compliments some of the richer appetizers I often serve around this time of year. And most of my female guests prefer a drier, white wine. Your request is my command!
Here are some of my favorite food pairings with Cavit Pinot Grigio:
Chilled shrimp and cocktail sauce
Savory Spanakopita
Gorgeous cheese boards
Caviar pancakes
Fresh oysters with capers and hard boiled egg
These are just a few of my favorite passed treats but there are so many more pairings that exist. I think the most common misconception is that certain wine verticals cannot be mixed with certain types of food. Go ahead, pair the full bodied reds with seafood or the steak with Rosé.
Cavit is here to make everyday occasions more approachable and cost effective. And shouldn’t life be about celebrating the mini milestones as well as the big ones? Shop Cavit at most major retailers.
Cheers to a fabulous holiday season in 2018

Hi friends! I am testing out a new series after lamenting and crowd sourcing my struggle to deliver healthy, wholesome recipes to my family given our new back-to-school schedule. Yo girl is sick of tacos on Tuesdays and we have something every day of the week. I will be living in my car!
True to form, I surveyed my Instagram fam and you delivered. This recipe was shared by friend: alinochkarudman. Nom nom and enjoy!
Cold weather season is here! Last winter you loved my IGTV quick tutorial on Instagram so I am bringing it to the blog. Also, I can finally make this drink again because we had gorgeous weather all summer and hot drinks were not appealing!
The Shamrock Shake has once again made its annual appearance. And while this may be a favorite childhood treat for many, including myself, I went on a quest this year to find a healthier version. One that my entire family would love. Selfishly, this is also how I start my day so really, it's about killing two birds with one stone.
It's not uncommon for girlfriends to joke that I am no fun when we eat out or elbow me about eating like a bird. I don't take it personally. The reality is I eat quite a bit but all day long and rarely in one sitting. I eat with intention and I'm very aware of what I am putting in my mouth. This begs the question:
Why did you go gluten free?
In an attempt to eat "healthier" this past Super Bowl Sunday, I found a recipe in, none other, but Blissful Basil's newest cookbook for a fresh take on sliders. The recipe does not exist online but I found a similar version to share with you today.
Greetings friends. Happy Monday! I'm all over the place with this blog content schedule but I digress. I spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen yesterday and wanted to share this bright, colorful dish as it takes 30 minutes to whip up and it's oh-so-healthy. I will be making this again and again. Not only did I feel full but I felt healthy.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am rarely without a can of LaCroix in hand save for the hours of 5-9am when I am chugging back coffee and slapping myself awake. What you don't know is that I literally grew up on LaCroix. My parents didn't allow any pop in our house so the only way we could scratch that itch was by gulping down cans of flavored sparkling water.
In hindsight, it was a fabulous habit to enforce and now one of my daughters walks around with her own LaCroix. Yes, she's four years old and it could appear a bit ridiculous but hey...I know how to get her to consume more water!
Good morning ghosts + goblins! I'm making this a short and sweet post for three reasons:
Afternoon friends! How was your weekend? I flew in and out of Nashville for a social media speaking engagement with my partner for Oak St. Social. Whew! It was a whirlwind weekend but so much fun!
