Here are 10 things that I’ve been loving in the month of March!

Daisy Jones & the Six. Finished this last week and LOVED it. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the format at first but quickly fell in love and found myself thinking of the story randomly during the day. She is such a great writer.

Stasher Bags. I finally bought these bags and love ’em! I always have leftover chopped ingredients from my big recipe shoot days and of course, like to pack snacks in resealable bags. These are awesome. You can freeze them, wash them – everything! I am so impressed. I also made some of our smoothie packs with them. I want to get some of the largest ones to use for marinating meats and vegetables.

Athleta Mindset Sweatshirt. This is the softest sweatshirt of life. It is so light and soft and amazing – perfect for spring! I have the black and gray but love some of the blue colors too.

Cinnamon Coconut Wraps. This might be my most favorite product of the month. You guys know that I LOVE coconut. I’ve wanted to try these for months and finally bit the bullet. I bought the plain flavor and the cinnamon one. I am in love with the cinnamon (pictured above!), spread with peanut butter and topped with banana and chocolate chips. These are SO good. These are so much better than tortillas if you want a sweet snack. They almost remind me of crepes! Now I don’t know if I could use these for something savory, but sweet snacks – yes!

Mrs Meyers Mint Hand Soap. It’s no secret how much I love the apple cider and peppermint scents of Mrs Meyers. I’m not really a spring scent person since they tend to be so floral. So I was shockingly surprised at how much I love this scent! It’s so light and fresh. No floral at all.

Good American Frayed Hem Jeans. I’ve wanted to try a pair of these jeans forever. The minute I tried them on, I fell in love. They are so stretchy, but also high waisted and don’t have to be altered on the bottom (which is huge since I’m so short). Really love them.

Simple Mills Smoky Cheddar BBQ Crackers. Another huge huge favorite of the month. These are completely addictive. They almost taste like cheez-its but 100 times better. Lots of flavor and crunch! You don’t need to eat them with cheese or anything. They are fantastic plain. Emilia loves them too! I definitely bought a six pack. Oops.

Bodum Double Wall Coffee Glasses. I’ve had one of these for YEARS (initially had two, but I broke one!) and it’s my favorite cup to drink out of. I use it for hot or cold coffee. I get so mad when it’s in the dishwasher – so I finally bought a six pack. Love these so much more than mugs.

Mezzaluna Knife. This is my first one! I’ve never used one before and this has changed my life when it comes to chopping herbs. I love it.

Hu Dark Chocolate Cashew Vanilla Bean. I don’t even love dark chocolate and I loooove this. This is super high maintenance chocolate and it’s fantastic. Cashew butter is my favorite nut butter and this is so good. I want to try some other flavors too! Side note: lots of these foods I have mentioned happen to be gluten-free and/or paleo or something. I don’t follow those diets but happened to see lots of these hyped up on the internet and wanted to try!

[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,...
