Elderflower Margarita

autumn — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 13:53:49 +0000

Iâ€™m kind of a margarita minimalist. Iâ€™ve made it known before that my go-to margarita recipe is this Agave Margarita from Bon Appetit. It is notably missing an orange liqueur like triple sec or cointreau and thatâ€™s exactly why itâ€™s my favorite. Tequila, fresh lime, a little salt, and sweetenerâ€”in this case agave, a nod […]

Mighty Fix from Mighty Nest

autumn — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:36:51 +0000

Today, I’m helping my friends at MightyNest share their subscription box calledÂ MightyFix. Living in an area without a lot of grocery or specialty stores, I’m super happy about the subscription box trend. It allows me to get products that a) I don’t have access to or b) I didn’t even know about without a two […]

A Spring Desert Wildflower Walk

autumn — Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:20:09 +0000

As much as I want to be, Iâ€™m not really a â€œmorning walkâ€ person. When it comes to writing, Iâ€™m at my best as soon as I wake up. I have a really hard time thinking about giving up my precious morning writing hours. So, I wake up and work on whatever deadline is calling […]

Master Gardeners Spring Workshop and more Beyond Canning events

autumn — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:19:30 +0000

It has seriously been so much fun doing events forÂ Beyond Canning,Â talking about the book, and getting folks excited about shoving lemons in mason jars. The virtual blog book tour is still going strong too!Â I also wanted to share some photos from some recent book events. Above and below, I’m preaching about making sauerkraut and other […]

Naked Cold Pressed Juice

autumn — Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:26:36 +0000

Iâ€™ll readily admit, one thing that I miss about living in NYC is my afternoon fancy juice breaks. They were one of my few city girl indulgences. Living in the desert means Iâ€™m miles (lots of them) from the nearest juice bar, so I was excited to try the new Naked Cold Pressed Juice. Speaking […]

Beyond Canning + MightyNest Weck Jars Giveaway

autumn — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:03:21 +0000

MightyNest is another one of the retailers that I mention in the “resources” section of Beyond Canning. They’re a favorite source of mine for glassware like these glass nesting bowls, which, no joke, I think I used for almost every recipe in the book. They also carry a wide array of super-gorgeous weck jars and […]

White Grapefruit Marmalade with Bay

autumn — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 21:53:33 +0000

Iâ€™ve been reading a lot of Joan Didion lately, something that I avoided doing for a long time. Iâ€™m a white lady with two writing degrees who moved to New York City to be a writer, interned at Conde Nast when Conde Nast still kind of mattered, etc. Iâ€™m also nothing if not contrary. Precisely […]
