Hi friends! How has your weekend been? We’ve had a great one: slowly cleaning up the Disneyland explosion that is our house, celebration for nana’s birthday, girls’ night, date night… not too shabby 😉 I’m actually really excited about planning our meals for this week because we have an old friend back in our lives:…

My mom, aunt, nanas, everyone all…

Everything seemed to have a local and seasonal emphasis, and I was blown away by the availability of vegan/veggie options. Visiting a city like Portland always gives me a kick in the pants to…
