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

FOOD

My weeknight peanut noodles. I could eat these every single day. They are so delicious and so easy. Definitely my highlight of the month.

Tajin seasoned glass rimmer. I was SO excited to find this. I mean, who doesn’t love a chili lime salted rim for their margarita? BRB going to make one right now!

Maldon Salt Flake Tub. On that same note, I can no longer find Maldon Salt at my Target, so I ordered this almost 5LB tub on amazon. Um, it’s amazing and the best purchase ever. Also great to split with friends/family. It’s the best finishing salt.

FASHION

Ganni Pleated Georgette Blouse. Ganni has quickly become my favorite brand! I bought this top in the original print back in November and it is probably the most worn clothing item I’ve bought in years. I wear it ALL the time. It is just so flattering, so fun, looks great with jeans and is really comfortable. And now it’s in a pink version so I had to buy it for spring. I LOVE IT.

Gorjana Star Stud Earrings. Any stud-like earrings? I’m in. These are so cute and wearable.

Heart Hoop Earrings. But another fave of the month are these heart hoops! I love a good hoop every now and then and these ones are so cute.

Good American Good Legs Jeans in Blue 308. I know, I know, I’ve talked about good american forever, but these ones are SO good – these are so stretchy (but always look like jeans) and the color is AMAZING!! I love a dark wash and this takes it to a new level. By far my most favorite pair of jeans right now.

MEDIA

The Idea of You. This was my favorite book by far of the entire month. You can see my review of it here!

Atomic Habits. I also loved this book so much! It took me a while to get through since I listened to it, but it has SO many great points and I took a ton of notes. I love it.

HOME

GreenPan Oval Roasting Pan. I feel like I haven’t shut up about these pans since the fall, but this oval roasted is incredible. It’s larger than a skillet so you can make a big meal in it, but it’s SO much lighter than a dutch oven or pot. It’s just EASY. I absolutely love this entire line but the oval roasted is pure gold. And yes, it can go in the oven!

Milk and Oatmeal Reed Diffuser. I know I mentioned the soap last month, but this is the BEST diffuser ever. It is pretty strong (every time Max walks into the bathroom he’s like IT SMELLS SO GOOD IN HERE!) and smells wonderful. A mix between comforting and fresh.

Porter 24oz glass jars. I’ve seen the larger version of these for a year and while I don’t necessarily need that, these have become my new go-to for overnight oats! I have two that I rotate between and aside from being cute and adorable, they are so much better than my years-old plastic containers.

KIDS

Kid’s Yeti Rambler Jr. The kids take water everywhere and we’ve always used the thermos canteens and the kid’s hydroflasks. This past month, we tried the yeti kids for the first time and LOVED them. They are super heavy duty and keep the water cold. This is the bottle Max takes to school now and he has decided it’s his favorite. Absolutely no leaking with this either, and it’s easy to get the straw flipped up.

Mini Melissa Sprinkle Donut Mary Janes. You know what a huge mini Melissa fan I am and um, well… HELLO!! Donut shoes for Emilia. I am hear for it. She can’t wear them for another month or so (unless she wears tights now) but she has been wearing them all over the house.

Mosaic Sticker Puzzles. Max has been loving sticker puzzles for at least a year but there weren’t many out there (we’ve done them all, and then some!). I finally found these ones and he is loving them. He will sit and do a few puzzles at once and they are perfect for when we go out to eat and wait for the food.

Barefoot Dreams Baby Blanket. So these are the blankets we fight over in our house, and now we all have one! I bought this frozen one for Emilia and Max really wanted his own, so I got this kid-sized one in the ocean wild print. He is obsessed and now we all cuddle with our blankets. Really wish I had known about the little ones when my kids were born!

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,...
