IDK what exactly it is, but your food always feels so cozy and full of love to me. That pantry clam snack looks divine. Also, still figuring out my bean journey....and it still makes me LAUGH!

This is my favorite way to cook!! Because I’m lazy and enjoy improv mostly, we call it the chopped challenge in our house lol. Also omg “pickled pepper sauce” my mouth is watering.

Right?! It's a lot of fun and also creative. The pickled pepper sauce is GOOD.

Laying in bed after my foot surgery, reading your post and not cooking. I will order those clogs asap. Meanwhile, my 23 y/o son is taking care of me and cooking for us from your books. I’ll tell him to freestyle from the fridge. Hang in there!

I love this!! My fridge was empty, empty tonight--except one grass fed steak and a pack of chicken breasts. I was sure we'd have to eat out, but I scavenged sure enough there was one head of romaine quarter bag of shredded cheese, and half a pack of tortillas left--tacos! Thank goodness for hot sauce and avocados. It's so satisfying to be scrappy., and wait one more day to go to the store!!
