Fiyaaaaaaaa-haaaaa-haaaaaa! Cider. If you’re not on the fire cider train, then you best get a ticket and come aboard! (omg I’m so sorry about all of this.) Does it work? Who really knows. Could it help? Well I think so! Look at everything in it. Nothing but aromatics, herbs, cinnamon, vinegar and honey. How could […]

Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r r r r a y! You guys, I am this close to buying Exclamation perfume (!) for Natalie this Christmas. Talk me out of it. Or into it! See, this is why. I accidentally bought her theee most jank little tween perfume. I’m not even going to tell you where from. From where. […]
Mushroom Risotto
Ohhhhhh baby babe! We dig risotto. Do you dig risotto? Normally I do a tomato-based risotto with spinach and sausage (like this one!), but today we’re going with nothing but shallots and garlic and mushrooms and thyme and wine and it is doing the trick, man. And it’s vegetarian, if you’re in need of carbs […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreedideedoooooooo! If there’s one thing I learned this week, it is what I would be like as an appliance technician. And listen, I have no beef with appliance technicians! (except when they misdiagnose a fridge repair and quote you $800 for the fix and it actually ends up being something else entirely, only putting you […]
Olive and Lemon Focaccia
Bread! We like bread. We live for bread. And you’ll lose your mind over this one. This would be a stellar idea for next week. Or this weekend. Or tomorrow. Because we’re nestling lemon slices and briny olives with a pinch of crushed red pepper and flaky sea salt into some rustic bubbly bread and […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrridge gets fixed today! Let me back up. Our refrigerator started ticking last Saturday morning and I was like, “Oh haha! Listen to that ticking sound in the vent. Isn’t that cute? Must be waking up.” WRONG. The compressor thingamabob went kaput. It’s out of freon. Which means it’s not cold. Started with the freezer, […]
Potsticker Soup
Okaaaaaay. This right here? About to win your face over. Potsticker soup! Hello, this shortcut is everything. We’re ripping open a bag of frozen potstickers and violently dumping them into a criminally simple soup for a weeknight wowza. What’s not to obsess over? Nothing. There is nothing. You’ll cry over this. We’ll sauté a few […]
Coconut Pumpkin Ricotta Cake
Ricotta cake. Because I feel like the combo of cheese and cake might be exactly what’s needed. Some of us are hurting. Some aren’t. We’re not getting into any of that though. I refuse to give it energy. However, while we feel our feelings and process what’s ahead, why not have some cake! Some ricotta […]
Monthly Mixtape: Repeat! Crooning Jukebox and Hot Roller Locks
Hi! Hey! It’s voting day! I have so much nervous energy today. Can’t figure out . . . why. So, I’m giving you an old mixtape while we navigate the week ahead. I’m going to deep clean the hall closet and listen to spa music for the unforeseeable future. If you missed this mixtape a […]
Stovetop Chicken Stroganoff
Strog! I call it Strog and everyones hate it. Strog, bro! This is a little different. It’s all stovetop (which I guess most are), but it uses a blend of Greek Yogurt and sour cream with tomato paste that’s to completely scream over. And the chicken – we’re using thighs that we’ve seasoned and seared […]
