Whew, what a fall/winter it was. In September, we were considering moving back to Brooklyn. In October, we bought a house. In December, we moved, while Jack and I had the flu (the sickest either of us had ever been). That flu lasted for three weeks. Then, we proceeded to get sick again…and again…and again. […]
Mom’s Yogurt Pancakes
I’m the kind of person that believes that everyone should have a go-to pancake recipe. And listen, if you’re into mixes, no shade at all. I grew up on Bisquick pancakes and thought they were totally rad. But! I have since found a recipe that is SO MUCH BETTER than any mix on the planet […]
Meal Planning for Non-Planners
I have such love/hate relationship with meal planning. I know that it’s the best way to reduce food waste, manage grocery spending, minimize stress at dinnertime…which are all good things. BUT, I am a food lover for whom variety and (at least some!) spontaneity are the spice of life. Rigidly planning out meals and assigning […]
10 Things Making Me Happy Right Now
Target Sunglasses These sunglasses remind me of the Le Specs Air Heart sunglasses that all of the influencers have…but they’re $15. Y’all can keep your expensive sunnies; I’ll be buying the ones that my kids can throw across the room without giving me a heart attack, haha. I’ve been wearing these a ton this summer, […]
Recipe: Coconut Chia Seed Pudding
While making a bit of an effort to eat a bit more healthfully lately—nothing crazy, just more fruits and veggies and fewer empty carbs—I’ve rediscovered chia seed pudding. Remember that weird tapioca-like thing that was super trendy for a hot second? Before acai bowls, overnight oats, etc…there was chia seed pudding. Truth be told, I’m […]
Recipe: Chicken & Dumplings
I actually had to search my blog to make sure that I hadn’t already posted this recipe, as I’ve been making it for years, and it’s truly one of the best damn things I make. As soon as I realized that it wasn’t on here, I got to work with typing it up. (Literally, in […]
I’m back!
Hey hello hi!! It’s been a good few years, but I’m so excited to be back to personal blogging! I’ve felt like I haven’t had the time or energy for much personal writing over the past couple of years, but I’m finally feeling like I’m emerging from a postpartum/pandemic/life fog with some renewed creativity and […]
My Fitness Journey
A few weeks ago, I ran a mile without stopping for the first time in my life. Depending on your attitude toward fitness, this might be impressive—but more than likely, your reaction is: “Really? How on earth did you make it 31 years on this earth without running a mile?” Well, I’ll tell you. I’ve […]
Recipe: Portobello Mushroom Parmesan with Roasted Broccolini
This is inspired by a random recipe that I pinned on Pinterest ages ago. I bought portobello mushrooms over the weekend to add to fajitas and forgot about them, so I decided to finally try this recipe to use them up! When I pinned the recipe, I kind of assumed that it would be a […]
On Body Image
I am very lucky in that I didn’t even become aware of my weight until somewhere around college. Meaning that my body just so happened to fit societal standards during my childhood and adolescence; I was naturally tall and thin. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted—actually, during middle and high school when I […]
