This weekend, invite friends and family over for an effortless summer celebration that’s low-key yet high on style. My favorite part about summer is that life just slows down and gets more laid-back. And so does the entertaining. The key to a fun, casual party is in the no-fuss details. Simple décor, food and drinks […]

Hosting parties and get-togethers with comforting and hearty recipes is just what you need as the days get chillier. Even though it is still pretty warm here in Florida, I’ve been daydreaming about slow braises, mountains of roasted vegetables, warm spices and long, cozy dinners with friends.
