Life is Best Celebrated

While there are many things that warrant a celebration in life this blog focuses on: lifestyle, food, travel and beauty. I seek to provide a platform that connects with the greater good of humanity.  Through the sharing of my own personal narrative, I hope to connect and align with the positive parts of life that impact all of us.  Join me on this journey of celebration.

LIFE IS BEST CELEBRATED

While there are many things that warrant a celebration in life this blog focuses on: lifestyle, food, travel and beauty.

Making Everyday Extraordinary.

The little elements of how we live our lives can make or break the day.  Good food & wine, traveling, a great hair day and even learning a new skill like how to plant a garden are moments to be celebrated. Sharing these special moments with the ones we cherish is what makes the world go ‘round. This is why I write & share my stories.  I want to include you in my journey to find extraordinary moments to celebrate in our daily lives.

Everyone needs a good stiff drink from time to time. If you're a parent, drinking occasionally is normal. Enter the dirty martinis.

Salmon Loaf – AKA “salmon toof”

Ah yes, this is one for the books. When I was younger this recipe reminded me of an adult version of cat food. It was bland and entirely less palatable. As I’ve grown up and revised the recipe, I actually think it’s a lot better and very comforting. It’s got ...

Lemon-Honey Semifreddo

I know this isn’t a traditional ‘cake’ in the sense of carbs, but it’s an excellent one. It’s also a great way to swap out ice cream when you are having people over for dinner or feel like a solitary indulgence. During our honeymoon in Florence, we experience the most ...

Vegetarian Pesto Pasta

There are a few chefs in our family who run on both sides. From my husband’s side, Braeden and Liza-Jane are seasoned pros in the kitchen. Both of them are wickedly smart attorneys with exceptionally big hearts & constantly learning how to make the next best dish. What’s best is ...

Picnic Slaw

I am absolutely a coleslaw snob. Warm? Mushy? Too much vinegar to mayo ratio? It has to be COLD, crispy and fresh otherwise I will pass. Everyone has had bland or warm coleslaw which is no bueno. What I want is creamy, simple, cold deliciousness. Pair with any bbq main ...

Lakeside Fried Chicken

In my opinion, fried chicken tastes the best served second day cold while cruising boat side on a lake. Having this at a summer picnic is essential and feels like a total indulgence. Pair with some slaw and bbq sauce and consider it the highlight of the day. However, if ...

Guacamole

In Mazatlan, Mexico, we went to the Mercado daily to find the most perfectly fresh ingredients for guacamole. The avocados were beautifully green with the best texture for mashing. The taste of a ripe avocado is not easily replicated so take care in selecting your produce. I make this when ...

Turkey Pita with Yogurt Dressing

Growing up in the Midwestern United States made summer camp lunches very interesting. On one hand, some days were really warm and muggy making sandwiches warm as the time passed toward lunchtime. On the other hand, if the camp counselors remembered to put our lunches in the refrigerators, the sandwiches ...

3 ingredient Brownies

Who doesn't love a recipe with 3 ingredients or less??!! Okay, okay....maybe 4 ingredients tops if you count the chocolate chips. These brownies are best served warm out of the oven over ice cream OR cooled completely and popped in the fridge. Since they include bananas as one of the ...

Lebanese Feast: Kibbe

Kibbe or kibbe naye as it’s most commonly known is traditionally eaten raw as a sort of lamb meatloaf. My family has always baked it, which gives it fantastic flavor and texture, as well as peace of mind for those who would rather run into the street than eat raw ...

Citrus Japonica Rice

Don’t get me wrong, I love regular white rice which typically takes on the flavor of whatever it is surrounded by on a plate. But this citrus black japonica rice can really stand on its own. It’s also really unexpectedly moist with juice from the grapefruit. Serve with fish or ...
