Happy SUMMER FRIDAY! Enjoy this long weekend. 

MAKING

The most delicious and simple tomato salad with the tomatoes at their perfect peak. Toss heirloom tomatoes with some lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and shaved parmesan then serve it over greens. SO amazing and so flavorful and fresh.

SIPPING

On as much chilled rosé as I can this long weekend! I’ll be referencing all of your comments in my favorite rosé post too – trying to grab some new ones up for the last few weeks of summer!

EATING

SO many good things for Labor Day weekend! Like smoked gouda smash burgers and crispy bacon pasta salad and mini zucchini pizzas and summer cheese plates and spicy watermelon sangria. What are you making?

SHARING

A beat-the-boredom dinner series over at Sweet Peas Meals in the next few weeks! It’s three meals, 30 minutes or less to bring back the fun + flavor back into the kitchen! Follow along on instagram for launch time details!

WEARING

The best basic t-shirt and it’s less than $20! I used to go crazy with Mossimo ones at Target, but these are so much better. Lacy and I are obsessed with them. Get the white and black for sure.

LISTENING

To the best of summer 2018, right here.

READING

Currently, two books! Tonight I’m starting Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and I also just downloaded How to be a Happier Parent on my audible!

BUYING

Just a few things when it comes to fall decor, because I’m totally decorating this weekend. I AM! First love: the MacKenzie-Childs courtly check pumpkins. I love them so so much. But I also am freaking over these blue luster pumpkins. They almost look holographic.

CELEBRATING

The start of college football this weekend! Woohoo! I have a ton of football food recipes right here, and check back early next week for something special when it comes to my annual football food post! Eddie is so excited because he has always been a huge Notre Dame fan… but we grew up Michigan fans. My brother is currently going to Notre Dame so now Eddie has someone else on the team. HUGE celebrations to happen every weekend.

GOING

Live on instagram. I’m going live soon! Do you guys like instagram lives? What time is best? After work? Lunch hours? Give me the deets.

LOVING

All things summer fridays! I loved doing this series over the last three months, but now that we’re hitting Labor Day, I’m shelving it until next year. These next four months are my most FAVORITE months to share recipes, so my Friday recipes will be returning. I have so many delicious things coming that I’m actually concerned there aren’t enough days left in 2018 for me to share everything. Thanks so much for sharing summer fridays with me. I post lots of similar content over on Crumbs, especially in my Tuesday Things and in my monthly favorites, so head there if you’re missing this!

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,...
