June Favorites: Lifestyle.

Here’s a list of all the things that I’ve been loving in June! HOW IS JUNE OVER?! xo

Skinny Dipped Almonds. I found these at Target and absolutely LOVE them for a snack. I’m obsessed with the chocolate peanut butter version (it’s not online – it is at Target!), but the espresso ones are good too. And I just saw that they have them in snack packs!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It feels as if I’ve done nothing but mention this book, however it is definitely my favorite out of all the ones I have read so far. The story still sticks with me and it’s one of those books that I’m measuring everything up against. I adored it.

Lilly Pulitzer Perry Cover Up. I know a lot of people want Lilly to go back to the classic non-neon Lilly look, but I obviously LOVE the neon! This cover up is amazing because it sort of doubles as a dress for pool parties. It is so gorgeous and flowy. Definitely my favorite purchase of summer so far!

Southern Charm. Ummm. I’m obsessed. Lacy has been trying to get me to start it forever and I finally did. I mean, it’s reality trash TV but it’s the best reality trash TV! And now I just want to do an event for The Pretty Dish in Charleston. Hahaha.

JuJu Be Fuel Cell Lunch Bag. So I’m completely obsessed with this because it’s so small, compact and portable and if we’re going somewhere for the day (pool/playground/outside/etc), I throw some yogurt in it for Max with a bottle of water and some fruit and it all stays cold and perfect. It fits in my diaper bag or I just throw it in my car or stroller!

Sand Cloud Wanderlust Tie Dye Towel. Probably no surprise that I adore something tie dyed, but hello! This is a gigantic turkish towel and perfect for pool days (because it’s so huge) as well as a beach or picnic blanket. It’s so soft. And, um, gorgeous!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Perfect Bars. I’ve mentioned these before, but they are another thing that has saved me while traveling. When I’m staying in hotels with the kids and don’t really have instant access to food (I think most room service is awful), these are perfect. Because breastfeeding hunger is insane.

Costa South Point Polarized Sunglasses. You might remember me talking about these sunglasses last year… they are just the BEST. If you have super sensitive eyes, these are incredible when the sun is blaring. Driving + in the pool – these are all I need.

Lavender Melon Kevita Master Kombucha. Favorite summer drink!! I think the reason I love this flavor so much is because I first discovered it four summers ago while we were in Boyne City. So it just instantly transports me to summer. Aside from that, you know how much I love the Masterbrew Kombucha. It’s a perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

Sabra Snackers. These are the best thing ever. Lacy introduced me to these after one too many delays in an airport for the book tour. You know, we were sick of eating out, but needed something more substantial than the sad fruit cup before our last few flights home. She has grabbed these for years in airports and I was instantly hooked. Target has them too! I’ve even been packing them in that mini lunch bag cooler I talk about above if we’re out and about. Sometimes you just want a crunchy snack. My favorite is the original version with pretzels!

[none of this is sponsored, just like to talk about things that I discover and love over the month. i purchased everything myself. tell me your faves! there may be a few affiliate links above. xoxoxo.]

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Image
Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
