Unabashedly. I. LOVE. SEAFOOD. Maybe it’s growing up in Florida? All those nights crabbing on Beer Can Island, hours spent collecting coquinas on the beach, having oyster stuffing at Granny’s for the holidays, or cracking stone crabs on special occasions… it all must have had an influence. Truth be told, I haven’t met a seafood that

Mango Cupcakes
August 1, 2019
Timing worked out serendipitously for sure. Many weeks ago as I was planning the third recipe in my mango series, cupcakes were on my radar. What I hadn’t done was check the calender! I was born on a Friday, a MONTH after my due date and weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 oz!! – my poor mom. I arrived one day before my -
Mango & Shrimp Lettuce Tacos
July 25, 2019
We’re in week two of mango heaven! While no small part of me wanted to do three straight weeks of desserts for this mango mini-series, I decided to dive into the savory side with these shrimp and mango “tacos.” (Don’t fret, I’ve got a mango treat in store for next week!) In lieu of traditional tortillas, using lettuce wraps -
Mango Cobbler
July 18, 2019
I don’t have a favorite color, a favorite movie, a favorite flavor of ice cream… but, I do have a favorite fruit. It’s no secret I’ve got a huge crush on mango! One of the most juicy, most luscious fruits in existence, it’s perfect to indulge my sweet tooth. My mom and dad have a prolific mango tree, and this time of year -

Not only is my version delicious, healthy and satisfying— it’s as easy as can be. No need to turn on a stove or oven, this -
Star-Studded Berry Tart
July 1, 2019
I love this holiday! Red, white and blue everywhere… the 4th of July spirit is so infectious. What’s more, two of our country’s favorite berries come together, lending a hand to make the desserts shared across our nation festive and fun. And for this Independence Day, do I have just the treat for you! Ripe, red -
Americano
June 26, 2019
Maybe you’ve heard of the Negroni? It’s a classic Italian cocktail, one which I adore, and is enjoying a burst in popularity stateside. It’s a stiff drink though, and I often prefer something that’s a little lighter to wind into the evening— especially on a hot summer afternoon. Enter the Americano. It’s a Negroni minus the -
What can I say about my dad, Bob Beall, except that he is one of the best people I’ve ever known, and a role model in every way. He has just the right amount of focus and drive, he leads with quiet fortitude and humility, and exhibits incredible goofiness and love for life. He is kind, gentle-hearted, and down to earth, allowing him
