9 Moms Share How They've Transitioned their Toddler From Crib to Bed

Our youngest, Polly is 2, almost 3 (in August) and she's still in a crib. But not just in a crib. Last year she tried to climb out of her crib and we got this crib tent that she absolutely loves and even asks "mom! zip me!" every night, but I kind of feel like […]

Grilled Steak Tacos with Pickled Radish & Onions

Everyone loves a good taco, but if you really wanna blow some minds, add some sweet, pickled vegetables. And before you convince yourself it's too weird or would take too long, trust me when I say it's not and it doesn't. At all. Made exactly as I do them, these tacos are dairy free, grain/gluten […]

Creamy, Classic, 5-Minute Hummus

I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I aim for 70-80% of what I eat to be plant-based. I just feel better that way. So foods that have been around for generations and are already plant-based are worth memorizing, because they're usually simple to make and super tasty. Enter hummus. It's a favorite around here, […]

Shrimp Salad Endive Cups with Fresh Cherries

Some fruits and vegetables generally taste the same year round, while others should really be in season to truly be appreciated. For me, cherries fall into the second group, which is unfortunate because I love fresh cherries. BUT! Cherry season is upon us, so let's celebrate and use some cherries! This shrimp salad really is something […]

This week was monumental for me. Something shifted. I started feeling so much better and and after a long drought of feeling unmotivated and uncreative, I hung art and moved furniture and made plans. I'm starting to feel so much more like me which has been refreshing and rejuvenating. One of the places I hung art was […]

12 Kitchen Essentials For Every Home Cook

A couple weeks ago during the Chris Cooks Instagram Live, we received questions numbering not a few about which kitchen items I would say are "essential." I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, because "essential" really forces some editing. I have drawers full of utensils. Cupboards full of cookware. A wall of cutlery. […]

After nearly finishing the first phase of our renovation just last month, I felt like I needed a bit of a mental break before diving into something else huge. I know most people wouldn't consider DIYing a closet renovation a "break." But it really has been that for us. (BTW, this DeWalt Gyroscopic Screwdriver has been […]

27 Meals For Staying Home

It's a stressful time. For everyone. Stress leads to stress eating. Which, at least for me, usually centers on foods high in carbs and low in nutrition. And that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't arguably more important than ever to have your immune system firing on all cylinders. Below we share 27 recipes […]
