Steamed Clams on the Grill

July 29, 2014 By 1 Comment

I am in love with this recipe!!  I came across it in the Food Network magazine and knew I needed to try it.  I made it the other night for one of our Ott Hollister family dinners… and it was a hit!

This recipe truly is a delicious and easy recipe perfect for any summer night!  You could serve it over pasta or gather around, family style, and eat it straight from the tin foil (like we did)!  Be sure to serve with yummy, crusty bread so that you can soak up the amazing broth.  Can’t wait to make them again! Scroll down through the pictures to get to the recipe.

The Westmoor Summer Party

July 28, 2014 By 2 Comments

It’s that time of year again!! Time for the Westmoor Club’s annual summer party! It’s one of our favorite nights of the summer because it means good food and dancing…both of which we cannot live without.

Can you guess the theme that the party planners (our mom, Emily, and our friend Carole) came up with this year?! A couple years ago it was a Luau, last year it was Tuscan, and this year it was…(drum roll)…Cote d’Azure! The party planners worked very hard to pull this off and I think they did an amazing job of transporting all of us to the South of France with their decorations and yummy food!

^^This year the same band (Eye 2 Eye) that played at Emily’s wedding played for us and it was amazing! We are kind of obsessed with them…especially Penny the lead singer!

While we were dancing away, Penny came out to sing with us and the next thing we know, she was pulling us on stage to sing RESPECT with her! And it was caught on tape:

We always have such a blast and this year was no different! Here’s to the cutest party planners I’ve ever seen for creating such a fun night for us…

I can’t wait to hear what next year’s theme will be! Any ideas/suggestions??

And just because this video never gets old to me, here is Emily showing us her best moves at last year’s party!

The Milly & Grace Girls on Sirius XM’s Wake Up With Taylor (And NYC Video)

On Tuesday morning, we woke up bright and early and headed over to the Sirius XM building near Rockefeller Center. During the entire taxi ride, we couldn’t believe we were actually going to be on the radio. Then, once we signed ourselves in and we were waiting in the waiting area…we started to get a tad bit nervous.  However, our nervousness never reached a freak out level because we know Taylor is absolutely hilarious and so much fun that she would guide us along the way. And she did! And we didn’t do so badly…no one accidentally swore or froze up. There weren’t even any awkward silences. Phew!

We talked about how much we love this blog and how we got started with it and a little bit about each of our lives. We talked about how Caroline matches her underwear to her clothes and how Emily fell in love with Steve when she was ten (she said it was his turtlenecks that got her!). We talked about Nantucket and the shop. And lots of other fun stuff!

We cannot thank Taylor enough for inviting us on the show…it was such a fun experience! Taylor, we think you are one of kind – so genuine, so cool, welcoming and so hilarious!

And finally….here is the video of the trip that we promised you!
