Once upon a holiday, I made lamb for the first time. You know, as one does. Having company for a holiday, Heather? Let’s try something you’ve never done before with an audience that isn’t super adventurous, said me. Yes, of course. 🤦🏻♀️ It wasn’t my favorite, and from the number of leftovers, it wasn’t anyone…
Does the world need another Instant Pot carnitas recipe? Probs not but I still have one for you. And you’re welcome. You can consider this my shock and awe share because I didn’t see an Instant Pot sitting on my counter thing coming. I’m old enough and smart enough to know that never is NEVER…
I’m living in a new I-have-broth-on-hand, and our soup season is better than ever. Not because my soup is better than yours, of course! But because we are eating soup these days without much effort.

This hummus just might be the answer to a few of your life’s questions. Like: What is missing in my child’s lunch? This hummus. Can I serve vegetables and rice crackers at my Wedding? Yes, but only with this hummus. How was your sleepover? We had the hummus. Mommy, can we make somefing togetter? Yes, this…
I’m not kidding you when I say we make this every other week, at least. It’s memorized by half of us and taped inside a cabinet door for the other half. It’s been our go-to for travel (hello, I’ve made the whole shebang in a hotel). Both of my bigs have brought dried oregano to…
