With the holidays upon us, I decided to challenge myself to baking something different. I was looking through the latest issue of Cook’s Illustrated and I came across a beautiful French apple tart. The apple slices arranged in the shape of a beautiful blooming flour. At first glance, I thought to myself, this looks complicated.

The trick to the BEST grilled chicken legs, though? Two things. First, lock in those juices by cooking them a bit slower than grilled chicken breasts or boneless, skinless grilled chicken thighs....

These avocado-deviled eggs are delicious and have a lovely green color!...

Kits folks wear Lululemon head-to-toe, Monday-to-Friday; divide their saturdays between sunrise yoga on the beach, the farmers market, and their community garden; and crunch hardcore on (organic, vegan, gmo-free) granola....
