5 Practices for 2021

We've all heard the expression that hindsight is 2020, but have you ever thought about what this saying is well...saying? Hindsight is literally the understanding of something after it's occurred, and usually the inference is that the "something" was not understood while it was happening. So looking at the saying this way makes it super relevant for me...I FOR SURE feel like I didn't know what the heck was going on in 2020. So, YAY! 2021! Everything is gonna be smooth sailing, right??? Well. Um.

How I Indulge Myself Without Food

Hey everyone, it's Karen here. Did you know that if you search the word "indulge" in Google images, about 90% of your results will have pictures of food?!?! Sure, there might be a random spa picture mixed in there, but it seems clear to me that the word "indulge" is synonymous with food in our culture. We understand that it's a common practice for many to self-indulge with food as a way to feel good, but hear us out: its effects are temporary and the long-term effects of using food to feel good can have consequences!

Save your basil with pesto

As summer winds down, I start strategizing ways to preserve my warm-weather goodies for the colder months to come. I wish you could smell my kitchen in the summer. Fresh basil is, to me, one of the joys of summer. Every year I prolong that joy by making and freezing large batches of pesto to eat through the colder months.

Make a week’s worth of lunches with Burrito Bowl Mason Jar Salads

Looking for a little shake-up in your lunch routine? These salads could be the answer. The ingredient quantities listed below will make five pint-jar-sized salads. When you’re ready to eat, shake them to distribute the dressing, or turn them over into a bowl – this is my preferred method, since the dressing more easily distributes over the salad. Enjoy!
