EDITOR’SLETTER
Camille shares her thoughts on prioritizing what nourishes your soul
Fromthe Editor
Welcome to our first issue of Camille Styles Edit I'm so happy you're here! Launching a magazine has been a dream of mine ever since I got my hands on a copy of Teen Vogue at age twelve And though my career running CamilleStyles com for the past 15 years has shared parallels there's just something special about a magazine If you're reading this, I bet you agree.
In our increasingly noisy world, we’re longing for experiences that bring us into the present. Do you feel the pull? I know I'm not alone in craving some breathing space from the busyness of our lives, and for me, a magazine is synonymous with just that Taking time to soak up beautiful images, be inspired by others’ stories and spaces, and discover a delicious new recipe to try this weekend my hope is that Edit will be both an escape and a guidebook.
Each season, we'll choose a theme to inspire what’s explored in the pages of that issue Our first theme is NOURISH, which sums up everything I want this magazine to feel like for you A warm cup of chai tea, your softest sweater, the glow of a cozy home surrounded by people you love within these pages are countless ideas to nourish your body and soul to make this your most magical holiday season yet.
Gathering with people we love is one of the most nourishing acts possible, and it's a thread that will be woven into each issue of Edit But "entertaining" in the traditional sense is ripe for a rebrand; here at Camille Styles, our approach has nothing to do with
elaborate tablescapes or extravagant food displays. Gatherings can be as simple as hosting a couple friends for coffee and bagels on a Saturday morning, or making a big pot of chili and inviting some neighbors to share it It's bringing mindfulness to make our conversations truly nourishing asking questions that go beyond the surface, and being vulnerable in return.
Camille Styles Edit is about creating YOUR most beautiful life, whatever that means for you I'm thrilled to invite you along on this journey of discovering what sparks joy, lights you up, and truly nourishes your soul

THEQUESTION
Howdo youseek nourishment duringthe holidays?
Camille Styles Editor-in-Chief
Sunday is the one day of the week that I don't make plans, and I try to stay off my phone as much as possible Having an entire day to read, go for walks, bake, and spend time with my family is the ultimate breath of fresh air It really nourishes mysoul!
Brittany Chatburn Content Marketing Director
The past few years, I’ve embraced a simple Advent practice, and it’s been such a grounding force when the holiday chaos tries to take over I’ve also learned not to feel guilty about having fun bake the cookies (and enjoy every bite!), wear the ugly sweater, crank up Hanson and Harry ConnickJr.,andsavoritall.
Isabelle Eyman Managing Editor
This is my favorite time of year, so I lean into everything that brings me nourishment and joy. Snuggling with my cats, wearing all the cozy sweaters, holiday movie marathons, and anything that warms me from theinsideout.
Bridget Chambers Style Editor
My parent's house is my happy place Being home with all of my favorite people under one roof is the best kind of nourishment out there–not to mention my mom's cooking is my literal favorite source of nourishment!

Music! Cranking a new playlist (I have over 200 on Spotify ) gets my energy moving when the winter makesmefeelstagnant
Embracing indulgence and balance is key for me during the holidays There’s no such thing as too kitschy of traditions or too many baked goods I also make space for rest, letting myself say no when needed, creating room for spontaneity and well-deserved downtime with my familyinasociallybusyseason.
Nourishment means consciously slowing down amidst the holiday hustle and bustle. It’s going to bed a little earlier, starting the day with my journal in front of the fire, and taking time to truly savor the holiday treats. Slowing down means I get to relish in themagicoftheholidayseason
Spending time outdoors is my number one way to nourish my body and mind during the holidays. Whether that's going on a run, sipping cider on the patio, or taking an after-dinner walk with family, there's something about breathing in the crisp autumn air that always helpsmybodyreset
During the holidays, the best source of nourishment is quality time with friends and family. I try to take a little break from work and really connect with those around me This leaves me with a heightened sense of gratitude for all of the wonderful peopleinmylife

Make A Dish That Feels Like HOME
BY KRISTEN GARAFFO
The only Thanksgiving I’ve ever spent away from home was in 2010 I was a 23-year-old professional actor, recently graduated from theater school and on the road with a show We were a small company of actors, musicians, and technicians in Winston-Salem, North Carolina all miles from our respective homes The company decided our Thanksgiving meal would be potluck. Everyone would bring a dish that would normally grace their family’s table, and instead we would have a meal full of each other’s traditions. I immediately knew what dish I wanted to bring: my Grandmother’s stuffing.
The stuffing is, by far, my favorite part of my family’s Thanksgiving meal. No one knows where this recipe came from, but the secret ingredients are Jiffy cornbread mix and saltine crackers. The first time I ever made it was in Winston-Salem and I was struck by how simple it was. It pairs perfectly with everything on a Thanksgiving plate the sweetness cuts the tartness of fresh cranberry sauce, it livens up a bit of turkey and gravy, heck, it even amps up the indulgence of buttery mashed potatoes
We only ever eat it on Thanksgiving day, as well as the following glorious few days of leftovers, and I was excited to share this stuffing with my newfound family of artists on the road
As I sat down at our Thanksgiving table that year, I remember staring at my plate. It was, of course, a little different than what I was used to, but I was grateful for this chapter of my life with new friends at my side and a new plate of food in front of me. The stuffing was my first bite, and as the sweetness from the cornbread hit my tongue, my eyes immediately began to well with tears. It was a taste of home.
I laughed and cried at the same time, baffled by my heightened emotion, fork still in my hand. I was eating something that I had only ever had surrounded by my family in the house I grew up in. Now, here I was eating the same dish in another state, surrounded by friends and co-workers I had only met a few months ago It was as if my heart couldn’t compute Like it was saying, “Wait, where are my parents, my aunts and uncles, my little brother? Why aren’t we home?”
Foodcanprovide
so much morethan sustenance, especiallyoverthe holidayseason,and Iexperiencedit firsthand.
But at the same time, tears of relief and joy streamed down my face. This mouthful of stuffing instantly transported me to our dining room table in Alexandria, Virginia. As if by magic, it brought to mind my family’s faces, the familiar servingware, and the red and orange tablecloth It made me think of the one year the smoke alarm sounded, the hum of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on the TV in the background, the afterdinner mints, coffee with cream and apple pie. It was conversations on the couch, the swirl of red wine in a glass, holding hands around the table before we said a blessing. Years of family tradition, preserved in a bite of food, miles away from home. I sat awestruck, face flushed and cheeks wet with tears, at the marvel of it all What a gift
I never knew the magic of tradition until I found myself celebrating Thanksgiving away from home. Food can provide so much more than sustenance, especially over the holiday season, and I experienced it firsthand. Food traditions tie families together, they weave culture onto our plates and create powerful feelings of nostalgia, connectedness, and comfort. My Grandmother’s stuffing allowed me to feel close to my family, even though we were miles apart. It filled me with warmth, gratitude, and love. It taught me just how special passing down our family recipes can really be, and it’s a feeling I’ll never, ever forget.

Holiday Cookies
TO BAKE AND SWAP
Learn how to simplify your cookie swap and let your holiday to-do list keep on sparking joy. 1 2 3 4 5 Host a Cookie Swap
SEND INVITATIONS EARLY
A few weeks to a month before your cookie exchange, send an email to guests, capping your guest list at 7-10 people An email is preferable to a text, letting you include all the details and making it easy to keep track of who’s coming and the recipe they’re bringing.
BE MINDFUL OF TIMING
Aim to host your cookie swap in the first two weeks of December. That way, guests have time to come down from the (joyful) Thanksgiving madness and pencil in your party before their calendar fills up
DETERMINE HOW MANY COOKIES TO BAKE
To ensure everyone ends up with their fair share of cookies, ask guests to make a dozen cookies per attendee
PREPARE COOKIE PACKAGING IN ADVANCE
A quick online search will turn up plenty of treat bags, affordable cookie tins, and bakery boxes that you can decorate with your own festive flair. Include a few ribbons and tags for guests to label their cookies, and set up a packing station where guests can wrap their cookies
SET OUT A BUFFET OF SAVORY SNACKS
To offset the possible sugar rushes to come, a few platters of savory snacks are ideal Create a cheese board this one’s delish for the holidays complete with nuts, dried fruits, cured meats, and crackers

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, form it into a ball, and flatten the ball into a 1-inch-thick disk If the dough is sticky, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15-30 minutes, or until firm but still pliable.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until ¼-inch thick. Use 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, re-rolling the dough scraps as necessary Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice The glaze should have a drizzle-able consistency. If it’s too thick, stir in more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with lemon zest.

How to Select Cheese for Your Next Charcuterie Board
It’s no secret: the charcuterie board obsession isn’t slowing down But as with any trending dish, it’s always better to get an expert’s take on what makes the best cheese selection for a stunning charcuterie board. On this mission, I connected with Sarah McIntosh, chef-owner of Épicerie in Austin. Ahead, she shares all things cheese, charcuterie, and tips for elevated snacking.
Different Types of Cheese
According to McIntosh, generally speaking, there are five different types of cheese
Bloomy rind A type of cheese with a white, velvety rind that develops as the cheese ages
Washed rind. This cheese is washed during the ripening process to create a pungent aroma and flavorful rind
Semi-soft Expect a high moisture content, a smooth and creamy texture, and a flavor that can range from mild to pungent.
Hard. Hard cheeses are aged longer than soft cheeses, resulting in a drier, crumblier texture and higher fat content
Blue. These cheeses are made with the addition of cultures of edible molds This creates the signature blue-green spots or veins through the cheese
How do different milks affect the flavor of the cheese?
How to Select the Best Cheese for Charcuterie
McIntosh explains that each milk type has its own signature flavors and fat content “Goat milk is the leanest, followed by cow, sheep, and water buffalo,” she says
When selecting the milk type, the following tasting notes are helpful to consider:
Goat Lean, sour, tangy.
Cow. Nutty, buttery, mushroom, bread, rich.
Sheep. Barnyard, buttery, earthy, creamy.
Water buffalo. Sweet, velvety, pudgy, rich
“Oftentimes, producers create mixed milk cheese of two or more different types of milk,” says McIntosh “One of my favorites is Campo De Montalban It consists of goat, cow, and sheep milk creating a very complex Manchego-style cheese which is always a hit”
The number will depend on the size of your platter, but McIntosh says that she sticks to 3-5 types of cheeses for a charcuterie board When designing larger platters, McIntosh also notes that she tends to select more firm cheeses “Firm cheeses are easier to cut and look nicer/cleaner especially when your guests start digging in!” Alternatively, she may put a softer cheese on a separate platter to prevent any mess on the main board Firm cheese pairs well with fruits/dried fruits, nuts, and hard salami. For softer and blue cheeses, she likes to dive into different types of honey and jams.

Sweet Apple Chutney
Elevate your holiday charcuterie board with three chutneys that bring a perfect balance of bold flavors and festive flair. The Spicy Cranberry adds just the right kick to creamy cheeses, while the Savory Onion pairs beautifully with salty meats and crackers. For a touch of sweetness, the Sweet Apple Chutney offers a mellow, fruitforward contrast that ties everything together. Whether hosting a holiday gathering or cozying up at home, these chutneys are the perfect finishing touch to make every bite a little more memorable.
SavoryOnionChutney
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1. Add olive oil to a large pan and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and salt and cook for a few minutes until the onions become translucent. Add the rest of the spices and the sugar
2. Lower the heat and cover the pan. To caramelize the onions, stir the onions every few minutes to ensure they’re not sticking to the bottom of the pan The key is to cook the onions low and slow until they begin to turn golden brown. This will take about 2530 minutes. If the onions begin to stick, add a bit of the apple cider vinegar at a time
3. Once the onions are caramelized, remove the chutney from the heat and let cool.
4. Serve at room temperature with your favorite accoutrements.
SweetAppleChutney
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 large granny smith apples, chopped
5 cloves
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
2-inch knob of ginger, grated
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1. Add olive oil to a large pan set to medium heat To the pan, add the shallot, apples, and spices. Stir to combine and let cook for a few minutes until the apples begin to soften.
2. Add the sugar, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Cook until the apples begin to break down. You can leave the chutney a thicker texture or cook until the apples become more like applesauce, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool. Serve at room temperature with your favorite accoutrements.
½ teaspoon salt
8 ounces cranberries
2 tablespoons honey
1.Add olive oil to a large pan set to medium heat To the pan, add the serrano pepper, cayenne pepper, ginger, and salt Cook for about a minute. Add the cranberries and cook until the berries begin to burst and soften Add the honey and stir Cook until the cranberries have broken down and the chutney is thick.
2. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool. Serve at room temperature with your favorite accoutrements.

LIVE A LIFE: WINTER TIPS Wellness Nourished
BYEDIEHORSTMAN
Like clockwork, a familiar feeling washes over me. Autumn arrives and a season of introspection unfolds. Am I investing my energy in the right places? Are my habits enhancing my daily joy? Am I nourishing my body with kindness and care?
Pen to paper, I race against the tide of my thoughts.
In these dark, quiet mornings my boys asleep, a warm coffee in hand—I welcome this inward shift
For many of us, this time of year beckons a similar vibration: we’re called to look honestly at how we nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits. Naturally, the colder months invite us to recalibrate to harvest our experiences, gather our thoughts, and cultivate simple nourishment
But in the busyness of the holiday season, it’s easy to put self-care on the back burner. With your winter well-being in mind, these are a few of my favorite (practical!) ways to cultivate an authentically nourished life
Unfortunately, the holidays make that quite challenging We overcommit to events, parties, and to-do lists, only to feel exhausted as January approaches. But to rest is to honor the rhythm of the season. This winter, put your well-being first. Practice saying no to non-essential commitments, and free up space for reflection and rejuvenation. Remember, rest isn't just a luxury it's fundamental When we view rest as self-care, it shifts from laziness to a vital practice that fuels productivity and creativity, helping us show up more fully in our lives
NURTURE YOUR EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING
During the darker months, it’s especially important to tend to your emotional landscape. While the holidays bring joy, they can also trigger stress, overwhelm, and loneliness. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you, and don’t underestimate the power of positive connections Holidays aside, fostering your emotional health is just as crucial as caring for your physical body
FINDING FULFILLMENT IN LESS
Living a nourished life particularly during the colder months requires a conscious shift toward intentional living. It’s about doing less but experiencing more. It’s about quieting the noise of constant productivity and honoring our innate needs. When we do so, we create space for what really matters: inner peace, a thriving body, and a resilient mind
MOVE WITH MINDFULNESS, NOT PERFECTION
Between travel, get-togethers, and end-ofyear deadlines, exercise takes a backseat But that’s all the more reason to make time for it. To begin, shift your mindset toward movement as an act of celebration. Let go of rigid expectations and instead focus on moving in (small) ways that feel most practical. And remember, there’s a difference between finding time to exercise and making time to exercise
8 ESSENTIALS
FORANOURISHING NIGHTTIMERITUAL
By Langa Chinyoka

Crafting an intentional bedtime routine can be inspiring and comforting at the same time. As we collectively rediscover the art of slowing down, more of us are recognizing that our nighttime habits determine how we feel during our working hours.

FourOutfitFormulasThat WorkforAnyHolidayEvent
When the holidays roll around, some people deck the halls I deck my closet. ‘Tis the season to break out the sequins, furs, heels, and jewels to add a jubilant flare to your winter wardrobe. Whether you’ll be drinking champagne with large groups of people, sipping hot chocolate with loved ones, or a little bit of both, we’re breaking down four holiday outfit formulas to recreate with your own closet.
Cookie Swap
Button-Down + Something Sparkly
For a festive, yet laid-back look for a cookie swap or gift exchange, try pairing a crisp white button-down with a sequin skirt (or shorts or pants) and a pair of slingbacks Dress it up with a red lip and slicked back bun, or keep it simple with natural waves and chunky bangles.
Potluck Dinner
Silky Skirt + Sweater
For an easy, festive, at-home ensemble, start with your favorite chunky sweater and swap your go-to pair of jeans for a monochromatic silk maxi skirt Add a pair of tonal booties and some vintage-inspired statement earrings and you’ve created an effortless, yet eye-catching holiday outfit. Brown is the color of the season, so I’d look for deep chocolate tones and recreate an “espresso” make-up look with glowy bronzers and eye shadows.
Office Holiday Party
Winter-White Trousers + Sweater + Belt
The either much-anticipated or highlydreaded office holiday party can be one of the toughest events to dress for Whether you’re employee of the month or your partner’s plus one, you can’t go wrong with accessorizing a chic pair of winter-white trousers. I love the stark contrast of black accessories to break up the look. Bring it all together with the perfect shade of blush to give that it’s-freezing-outside-but-I’mhappy-about-it glow.
Holiday Movie Marathon
Matching Set + Fuzzy Socks
Though my guilty pleasure is watching The Holiday in the dead of summer, I dream about cozying up on the couch with my favorite people and bingeing all the holiday classics. For a cute, cozy, and fool-proof movie marathon outfit, a matching set never fails. Keep your feet warm with fuzzy socks, throw your hair in a clip, and curl up with your favorite blanket.

Worth THE Squeeze
TURN WINTER CITRUS INTO NATURE-INSPIRED HOLIDAY DECOR.
BY BRITTANY CHATBURN
WHILE
WE LOVE THE WAY THAT A COLORFUL ORANGE BRIGHTENS UP WINTER DECOR, IT TURNS OUT: THE STORY OF CITRUS AT CHRISTMAS GOES MUCH DEEPER THAN AESTHETICS ALONE.
In the early 19th century, access to fresh fruit in the winter was rare, and oranges were cherished gifts. They made their way into stockings after a journey by boat or train and symbolized charity in gift-giving in honor of the legendary St. Nicholas. Elsewhere, pomanders took to popularity in the Victorian era, bringing vibrancy and a warm scent of orange and clove to the dreariest of months
And who can forget the scene in Little Women, when Mr. Laurence sends a Christmas breakfast to the March sisters with oranges and other delicacies. The citrus fruits were considered a luxurious treat that symbolized generosity and abundance in the midst of hardship.
Today, dried citrus can be threaded on a string as an earthy garland, or with just a bit of twine, glass-like citrus slices become natural ornaments. Decor inspired by nature is always our favorite way to bring character to a room and when it comes to citrus at the holidays, the juice is certainly worth the squeeze.
HOW TO DEHYDRATE CITRUS
What You’ll Need:

Set your oven to the lowest temperature, usually around 150°F (65°C). If using a dehydrator, set it to about 135°F (57°C).
2. Use a paper towel to gently blot excess moisture from the citrus slices. This will help speed up the drying process.
Thinly slice the citrus fruits into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. The thinner the slices, the faster they will dry Try to keep the slices as even as possible for consistent drying
3. Place the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure the slices are not overlapping.
4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let the citrus slices dry slowly for about 3-4 hours Flip the slices halfway through to ensure even drying The time will depend on the thickness of the slices and the type of citrus used.
6.
5. The citrus slices are done when they are completely dry and feel leathery, not sticky. They should be crisp but not burnt.
7.
Once dehydrated, let the citrus slices cool completely. Store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them for decor
Citrus Spice Simmer Pot Favors
What You’ll Need:
5x7 Organza drawstring bags
(one per person)
A few slices of dehydrated citrus per bag (a mix is good)
2 cinnamon sticks per bag
Assortment of spices: cardamom pods, star anise, cloves
1.
Place the citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, and spices into each organza drawstring bag. Aim for a balanced mix in each bag.
2.
To use, either empty the contents of the bag into a pot of simmering water for a delightful winter scent or drop the entire bag into the pot for easy cleanup
What You’ll Need:
Oranges
Whole cloves
A toothpick or skewer (optional for making holes)
1.
Select firm oranges or other citrus fruits. Oranges are traditional, but smaller fruits like clementines or lemons also work well
3.
2 If the skin of the fruit is tough, use a toothpick or skewer to pre-punch holes where you want to insert the cloves. This makes it easier to push the cloves into the fruit without breaking them
4
Decide on the pattern you want for your pomander You can cover the entire fruit with cloves or create stripes, spirals, or other decorative shapes. Some people prefer to tie a ribbon around the fruit before starting, both to enhance the look and to create natural boundaries for the cloves.
5
Push whole cloves into the fruit, covering it in the design or pattern you planned The cloves should fit snugly into the fruit’s skin
You can tie ribbons around them for hanging or use them in bowls, centerpieces, or wreaths. They make the perfect natural holiday decorations and can even last for years when properly dried.
Citrus Ornaments
What You’ll Need:
Dehydrated citrus slices
Twine
Toothpick or skewer
Thin ribbon (satin or velvet)
1.
2
Use a skewer or toothpick to carefully poke a small hole near the top of each dried orange slice for the twine
Cut a length of twine (about 6-8 inches long), thread it through the hole, and tie a knot to create a loop for hanging Adjust the length of the twine based on how long you want the ornament to hang.
3. Hang and enjoy! 4
Cut a piece of ribbon (about 6-10 inches, depending on your bow size preference), and tie it into a bow around the hanging loop near the top of the orange slice. Adjust the bow as needed to make it sit neatly
Citrus Place Settings
What You’ll Need:
1 citrus slice per setting
1 long cinnamon stick per setting
1 star anise per setting
Sage or rosemary
Loosely fold a linen napkin over each plate
Arrange the cinnamon stick, herbs, citrus slice, and star anise over each napkin.
WARMTH & Wonder
MY NUMBER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON? TO FULLY SOAK IT UP, AND FIND THOSE LITTLE WAYS TO SO IT DOESN’T
JUST FLY BY IN A BLUR.
There’s no way around the fact that this is a busy time of year, and I know I’m not alone in my desire to carve out core holiday memories with our family. It requires an intentional approach and decorating the house for the holidays is one of the season’s first opportunities to create magic.
When I’m thinking about design throughout the year, I always start by considering how I want to feel when I’m at home For me, home is the unmistakable comfort of climbing into my own bed after being away for a few days. It’s a sigh of relief, the hug of a soft blanket, an invitation to let my guard down and just be myself.
I have a deep desire to live more abundantly with less stuff, and to discover more simplicity and openness in all aspects of life I know that I want to be surrounded by natural elements, and to create cozy intimate spaces that support meaningful conversation.
So, my approach to holiday decor is to keep it simple but make it impactful: focus on just a few elements that will create the environment I desire These include lots of candles and twinkling lights, evergreen branches on mantels and tabletops, and layers of cozy texture. And you also cannot overstate the power of Christmas music just turning on some tunes changes the whole vibe of a home.
TAKE NOTE OF WHICH TRADITIONS YOU’RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT:
WHAT ARE SOME NEW TRADITIONS YOU’D LIKE TO DELIGHT IN THIS YEAR:
LIST OUT ANY PAST TRADITIONS OR OBLIGATIONS YOU’D LIKE TO LET GO OF:
TRIMMED TRADITION with
I get questions about our tree every year it’s really large (12 feet!) to account for our high ceilings in the living room, and though it’s faux, it does look super realistic Before getting this tree, I was a diehard “real tree person,” but thanks to Adam’s allergies and our crazy high ceilings, we switched to faux about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Fake Christmas trees can be really expensive, so it pays to price shop a bit here Ours came from Frontgate, and though it’s out of stock, this 12foot tree from Target is an exact look-alike
Adam and I have been adding to our ornament collection since we got married, and our tradition is to buy a new ornament for each family member every year It’s so fun to unpack them one-by-one and remember all the milestones that each represents for us.
FIRESIDE magic
The mantel is the centerpiece of our living room, so I like to use this area as a way to play with decor and give our holiday decor a different vibe every year My friend Elle has made our mantel garland and wreath the past several years. She owns a company called Gracious Garlands that makes beautiful live
much texture and warmth. I love using asymmetry here it makes it feel a little more artistic and looks visually pleasing when you hang the stockings We secured the garland to the mantle by sticking a few command hooks onto the mantle itself and then fastened it to the mantel at several points to support the n I wove some fairy lights hes to add sparkle.
A CASA ZUMA
Last year, we launched our first Casa Zuma Holiday Wreath made of frasier fir, cedar, and seeded eucalyptus. We wanted to do something natural and California-inspired, and I’m so excited for you guys to be able to experience it in your own homes It’s on sale now.
LAYERS OF
I use our coffee table and open shelving as a continually rotating space to display my favorite things During the holidays, I start by removing a few items to open up the space, then I add just a few holiday touches like birch bark candles, bowls of pinecones, a nativity scene, and velvet ribbons to make the shelves feel festive. I try to keep all these details in a neutral color palette that feels aligned with the room during the rest of the year, because I always want this space to feel calm and grounding These small touches are what the kids love unpacking year after year, and they add layers of warmth to the room.
EMBRACE THE
cozy imperfect
I approach my collection of holiday decor as ever-changing and evolving. Rather than try to make everything look perfect and polished, I slowly choose the pieces that speak to me, even if that means leaving a little breathing space in some of the rooms until I find that just-right piece It’s not about impressing anyone, rather it’s about turning my home into a cozy haven where we just want to stay in and drink hot chocolate by the fire all season long. Decorating the tree, reading the Polar Express with my kids, curling up in front of the Christmas tree lights to drink my coffee in the morning those are things that nourish my spirit and add up to a holiday season we’ll never forget.

TIEGHAN GERARD
OF COZY ISTHE QUEEN
HOW THE CREATOR OF HALF-BAKED HARVEST FILLS HER SOUL
By Camille Styles
I first met Tieghan Gerard many years ago, and as I’ve followed her rising career, I’ve always been inspired by the way she so clearly does things on her own terms Tieghan creates her cozy, homey recipes from a converted barn in rural Colorado. She develops, styles, and photographs a new recipe nearly every day a true one-woman show. It’s this personal touch that resonates with her audience of millions who make the recipes on her site, Half-Baked Harvest, and in her multiple bestselling cookbooks.
As Tieghan prepares to release her fourth cookbook, she came to Austin to co-host an intimate holiday dinner party in my backyard. With a menu featuring recipes from the new book and a table full of some of my favorite creative women in Austin, the evening was every bit as cozy and delicious as you’d expect
When she arrived, Tieghan and I curled up in front of the fire for a heart-to-heart about career, family, creativity, and staying positive online. Dive into our convo ahead.
Camille: Hi Tieghan! It’s so good to see you. How’s life lately?
Tieghan: Life is crazy but great. I’m really focused on building the Half-Baked Harvest brand. My fourth cookbook comes out November 19th It’s one of my favorites, full of quick, cozy recipes for all year, but it’s especially perfect for fall and winter.
I’m traveling a lot, gearing up for the book tour, and developing products. It’s funny because people think all of this happened overnight, but we’re going on 13 years It’s exciting
Camille: With all the travel you do these days, how do you view your home? Your converted barn in rural Colorado sounds like such a beautiful escape from the craziness of your work life.
Tieghan: Home is my safe place I can be myself, feel cozy, and be more in touch with my introverted side. I’m a Midwest girl and I have a big family, and family is everything to me. My parents have always emphasized doing things together as a family unit. We have strong family traditions, and that’s really shaped who I am.
Tieghan: I’ve always had a bigger vision for HBH As our numbers grew and we brought in more advertising revenue, it became clear that this could be something big. We have a great business model that doesn’t rely on social media to survive.
I try to stay really focused on the personal connection I have with our community. I write all the content on the site myself and respond to every comment and email. It’s important to remember why I started in the first place, and why my community follows me. My team is really lean so I can stay in close touch with everything happening in the business My mom is my business partner
Camille: What’s it like working with your mom?
Tieghan: Until recently, it was hard. We’re opposites in a lot of ways, and in the early days we butted heads a lot. I used to worry people would think she did everything for me Once I let go of that, I realized what an asset she is to the business She and I have clearly defined roles, and I know that I can trust her completely. Plus, my mom has eight kids no one works harder than she does.
Camille: You’ve been in the industry for 13 years. What’s the hardest part of being a content creator now?
Tieghan: You have to pivot fast and keep evolving, because the industry is always changing. You don’t ever want to become stagnant, but it’s also important to stay true to your audience and know your “why.” I feel like I’m bringing my audience along on my journey as I incorporate more of the things I enjoy into my content, like fashion, styling, and entertaining.
Social media is hard, and it’s important to me to own the top channels I create on my website and email list because I can have more control over the outcome You can’t have a business with longevity if you’re relying solely on social media
Camille: I asked my Substack community if they had any questions for you, and one reader wanted to know how you handle negativity online.
Tieghan: With larger numbers comes more feedback, both good and bad. Most of my community is lovely, but there’s a small group that can be negative, and unfortunately those people are usually the loudest.
My policy is that I just don’t respond to them it’s not worth my time and energy that I’d rather be putting toward creative pursuits. I’ve also started deleting some of the negative comments that are posted I want to keep the online space that I’m creating positive and uplifting for my readers
Camille: Okay, let’s talk about the holidays. What are your favorite holiday recipes?
Tieghan: I love traditional holiday dishes Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about cozy classics for me I’m not the biggest fan of turkey, but I love all the Thanksgiving sides. Mashed potatoes, my grandma’s sweet potato casserole… I love them all.
My mom’s Death by Chocolate is a Christmas Eve staple in our household. And I love to make short ribs, or the brisket recipe from the new cookbook
Camille: I can’t believe this is your fourth cookbook! Has your process of writing cookbooks changed over time?

Tieghan'sLemon PestoOrzo Recipe
Tieghan: A cookbook is a big project once it’s out in the world, you can’t change it Many cookbook authors hire a team, but I like to stay really hands-on with all aspects. As my career has grown, there’s been a pressure to grow the team and delegate more. For the last book, I decided to try doing things in a way that’s a little more industry standard. I rented out a studio in New York and had a team to help with prop styling and production
From the beginning of the first day’s shoot, I could feel it the magic was gone. It made me think about what my real areas of talent are, what makes me special And I realized it’s that personal touch that gives my recipes, styling, and photos something special that people respond to.
That first day after shooting, I was in tears on the phone with my mom. I didn’t know what to do. I’d hired a full team, we’d paid for this space in New York, there were so many things that had gone into the shoot But I knew deep down that I needed to shift gears and follow my gut. So, I got on a plane and flew home the next day, and I started the process of creating the way I like to create.
Camille: I love that story, because even though you do have to learn how to delegate as your business grows, you also discover where your zone of genius is and where you bring that magic that no one else can. I feel like that difficult experience was an incredible

Garlic Mushroom Chicken Skillet
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Fine pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) salted butter
12 ounces shiitake and/or cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
Crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped, about 5 minutes. Transfer the prosciutto to a plate.
To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then the chicken, sage, onion powder, and garlic powder Season with salt and pepper Toss to coat, then sear the chicken, without turning, until golden on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for 2 more minutes to brown Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, letting it melt and lightly brown around the chicken, 2 to 3 minutes Transfer the chicken to the plate with the prosciutto, reserving the butter and oil in the pan.
Place the same skillet over medium-low heat and add the mushrooms. Let them cook undisturbed until they turn golden, about 5 to 8 minutes Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until everything is softened and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes Pour in the vinegar and cook for about 1 minute, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan
Pour in the broth and wine, then return the chicken to the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Serve family-style, topped with the crispy prosciutto and fresh thyme. Add crusty bread on the side for dipping, if desired

½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup crumbled goat cheese
Balsamic Fig Dressing
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fig preserves kosher salt and black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the walnuts with the maple syrup, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, and salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring twice throughout cooking, until the walnuts are toasted Remove from the oven and spread the walnuts in one layer. Sprinkle with flaky salt.

Classic Tiramisu
16 ounces mascarpone, cold
4 large egg yolks, cold
1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon fine pink Himalayan salt
1 cup brewed espresso, cooled to room temperature
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 (7-ounce) package ladyfingers (24 cookies)
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Shaved chocolate, for serving
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the mascarpone, egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the heavy cream, the sugar, 1 tablespoon of the rum, the vanilla, ginger, and salt until combined and lightly whipped, about 2 minutes Do not overmix or the mascarpone will curdle.
In a separate medium bowl, whip the remaining 1/4 cup cream until soft peaks form Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cream.
In a shallow bowl, stir together the espresso, maple syrup, and remaining 2 tablespoons rum. Working with half of the ladyfingers, quickly dip one long side into the espresso mixture; do not let them sit in the liquid or they will get too soggy Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch baking dish, piecing them to fit as needed.
Spoon half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers and dust generously with cocoa powder.
Dip the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso mixture, lining them up on top of the mascarpone cream as you work Add the remaining cream over the top, spreading it in a smooth layer. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight
Just before serving, top with whipped cream, if desired, then dust with more cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings Scoop and serve
