“As I stated last week, I have been very intentional about diversifying my Instagram feed over the last two weeks. It can be difficult to find diversity in the foodie, food blogger, and homemaker circles on social media, but that’s what we have hashtags for!

“Preparing food, to me, is one way that I care for myself: I love the creativity of transforming fresh produce into a delicious meal, as if I were creating a mixed-media art piece. It’s a way of accomplishing one small thing that nourishes and re-energizes me. It’s a way of absorbing and honoring the energy that farmers, farm workers, and gardeners (including myself) have put into growing the food I’m putting into my body.”

A bit of pucker-iness gives nuance, interest, and dimension.”
Summer holidays are when we start breaking out those summer pasta salads, and I’m here for that. This simple pasta salad will be a great companion to all the yummy food you will soon be throwing on the grill.
“This recipe will be great for your next Netflix binge. These are an old favorite for us; a major upgrade to the frozen pizza roll. It also has garlic-butter, which—if we’re being honest—is the key to any good snack. This recipe will make approximately 24 puffs.”
Ah, asparagus: the herald of warmer weather to come, the great divider of households, the aroma of springtime bathrooms everywhere.
