I do this thing that I'm really proud of: 

I eat leftovers.

Not only was TV working as part of my parenting routine, we also unashamedly used it as a babysitter. Yes, you read that correctly!

Ladle, herbs, cover, blend. Repeat until finished. Season with remaining spices. Now, go and and feed your inner goddess with this Green Goddess Soup.

Thin Mints are my favorite. They’ve ALWAYS been my favorite. I would hide a sleeve in our freezer as a kid, and wait for my brothers to leave the house so I could eat them in peace.

This is the thing about cooking for the internet: It only wants sweet treats. Okay, and cauliflower recipes.

If you grew up in a typical Christmas tradition, you probably had the same dinner at Thanksgiving and at Christmas.

20 years later, it is still an experience that I am actively deconstructing. Why? Because I joined a cult. And maybe have too. If so, here’s how to get out.
