I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

So, you probably already know this if you follow my instagram stories, or instagram, or blog.. or actually anything I do. Ha. But I love Trader Joe’s. It’s kinda like a secret little guilty pleasure. The fancy lady/serious foodie in me knows that of course, I should only shop at sustainable, local places all the […]

I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m totally just winning at life. Beyonce-in-a-apron-style, even if I’m still in my sweaty lululemons with a power bun and eyebrows that so badly need waxing. To me, making a healthy dinner is like this soothing little ritual […]

Earlier this week on instagram, I took you guys behind-the-scenes on a typical grocery store haul: on what I buy, why I buy it, and what I usually do with it, to make easy healthy meals without spending more than 15-20 minutes cooking each night. Scratch that. Honestly? Most nights are more like 10 minutes. Because although […]

This much I know is true: food is magical. Especially thoughtful and intentional food- the kind that deeply settles something in us, and especially so when you share it with people you love, and wanna squish hug as hard as you can. It’s something it took me most of my life to really know it’s […]
