Remember our love of the spritz — in all its forms? Well, we have a new spritz recipe to share! And, it’s perfect for winter — and special enough for ringing in the New Year (safely, masked up, and socially distanced if not just on Zoom, of course).

Beans and Rice Recipe

Jenn — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:00:04 +0000

I feel like a lot of us are opening up our pantries these days and looking for something … anything … tasty to throw together. via GIPHY I absolutely don’t want to go to the grocery store unless I have to, so I’ve been stretching my culinary muscles to make the most of pantry essentials.

3 Refreshing Spritz Recipes

Jenn — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 11:00:02 +0000

Editor’s note: This post was largely written before the insanity and reality/tragedy of COVID-19 set in around the world. The first time I had a spritz was in Italy. I was in Venice with my then boyfriend (now husband) and it was what the bartender recommended at the hotel bar. One sip and I was like … via GIPHY I LIKE this drink. Now, the spritz has gotten super trendy — and even had some backlash against it for being overrated. Which just seems grumpy to me. via GIPHY Because the spritz is not only tasty, but also it’s refreshing…

Vegan Lentil Mushroom Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 12:00:21 +0000

I’ve talked to a lot of people recently who are making a serious effort to reduce their meat consumption — or even eliminate it entirely. None of them have cited personal health as their motivation, and few have referenced the ethical aspect of going veg. Instead, the focus is on environmental impact. And I am here for it. Because, hey, can you think of a more important “why” than the welfare of our planet? The fires in Australia (not to mention what we’ve seen the last few years in California). The rising water levels. I can’t even start with the polar bears…
