A list of all the things I loved in October! xo

FOOD

Perfect Bar Peanut Butter Cups. Say hello to my newest obsessed. I’ve been a huge huge fan of perfect bars (the chocolate chip peanut butter is the best!) and when I found out they had peanut butter cups? I just about died. These are so good!

Butternut Squash Skillet Shells. I’ve been having major cravings lately for butternut mac and cheese and this is by far my most favorite recipe.

ALDI Roasted Sweet Corn Popcorn. How did I not know about this before?! This is one of the best snacks ever. The flavor is incredible. It’s absolutely addictive and I wish it wasn’t limited edition.

MEDIA

my Crate Chef Box!! I had the honor of curating the fall Crate Chef box and I love it so much. The contents are fantastic and I’m so glad you guys are loving it!

Modern Love. I just mentioned this in my Tuesday things, but I loved this series on amazon so much. It was so feel-good and made me cry in every episode.

Twice in a Blue Moon. Almost finished with this book right now and I am loving it.

HOME

Garlic Zoom Garlic Chopper. We’ve had to chop so much garlic for my book photo shoots – and yes, I am the queen of my garlic press. But in trying a few different tools to chop a bit of garlic at once – this is the winner! It only does a clove or two at once, but it does it quickly. And it’s chopped super nicely.

Food52 GreenPan Oval Roasting Pan. I mentioned these in last month’s post, but I also finally got this oval roaster and I am DYING over it. First, it’s gorgeous. Second, it’s the perfect size. I’ve made a pork loin and an entire filet in it. Third, it washes beautifully and doesn’t stain. It cooks food perfectly. I cannot get enough.

MacKenzie-Childs Royal Check Baking Pan. I thought I loved the (black and white) courtly check pattern? Oh my gosh. I’m losing my mind over the royal check pattern in cookware! It is so gorgeous and I want every piece.

FASHION

B.P. lounge Tee. You know I’m obsessed with these halogen t-shirts, but I’ve found another one I like too! This is a boxier cut but I love it more for lounging when I don’t want to ruin my “fancy” halogen t. Ha!

Treasure & Bond V Neck Ribbed T. I also got a few of these long sleeved t-shirts and I love them, especially the olive green.

Michael Kors Skyler Knit Bootie. New favorite shoe alert! Okay, so I think these are kind of ugly. But they came in my trunk club, I ended up keeping them and have fallen madly in love. They are AMAZING. Super comfortable, but still have a wedge. I’ve worn them for a full day (like 10-12 hours), walked in the airport, everything. And they get a lot of compliments too!

J Crew Gemstone Sweater. You have to see this sweater in person – the photos online do nothing for it. It is SO gorgeous!! It’s one of the first times in a long time I can remember seeing something and *immediately* buying it. It’s so beautiful. J Crew often does 30 to 40% off so wait for that! I never buy their stuff at full price.

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,...
