Summer Fridays, Vol 13.

summer fridays

You guys! I can’t believe that this is the last summer fridays post of the year! This summer FLEW by. Like last year, I’m ending summer fridays on Labor Day weekend – more on that below! Thanks for an amazzzzing summer. xo

EATING

My nutty harvest honeycrisp salad! This week my local farm will have honeycrisps and I CANNOT WAIT. This is possibly my favorite salad of all time. Who has made it?

DRINKING

September sangria! Sure, it’s a day or so early, but this is the best sangria to take you from late summer to early fall.

BAKING

My lemon pistachio zucchini cake! It’s full of vegetables. Of course.

GRILLING

This cinnamon sugar toast with figs and ricotta. It’s so good this time of year.

MAKING

All the football food. And you can find another one of my favorite tailgate menus here!

LISTENING

To our 2019 tailgate playlist. How is it that time again?!

READING

Last night, I started reading Paperback Crush. OH MY GOSH it is my tween years in a book. I’m loving it. But! I would love to know what your favorite book of the summer was! I actually think that mine was Mrs. Everything. I am still thinking about it. Not in the way that I still think about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (best book of my life), but I’m still so taken with the story.

SHOPPING

I reeeeally want to be able to pull off these wedge sneakers. I’m pretty sure that five or so years ago I said multiple times about how terrible I thought wedge sneakers were. Well, here we are, and I want these. But I don’t think I can do it! I’m not cool enough. I love that brand though. And I really want my favorite sweater blazer in leopard print.

DECORATING

For fall this weekend. I am! I won’t start doing all the pumpkin things for another month or so, but you better believe my fall decor is going up on Sunday!

SHARING

A new video for my favorite easy lemon chicken noodle soup! It’s great for the coming months.

BRINGING

Back cocktail Thursdays! Starting next week after Labor Day, I’m bringing my thirsty Thursday drink posts back! I’ve already created most cocktails through September and October and I can’t wait to share. So many good ones are coming up! Stay tuned!

LOVING

How much you guys adored summer fridays this year. It was even better than last year, and honestly I almost didn’t bring it back! Like I mentioned above, this is the last post as I’ll go back to sharing recipes on Fridays after Labor Day. I just love the fall season SO much and have such an enormous amount of recipes (hello, see cocktail Thursdays above!) that I want to share with you. But this has been so very fun all season and perhaps I’ll throw one over on my Crumbs section in the fall!

Def going to be a s’mores filled weekend over here.

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,...
