Double Middle To 2016 + Finding Bliss (With A Blissful Giveaway)
My friend Nina described this year as the Universe coming in, shaking everything up, violently throwing it all in the air, and then leaving it up to us to sift through all the shit when it lands. That’s about right. When your world feels like it’s falling apart, sometimes it’s hard to remember all the things that aren’t […]
Episode 61: Burnout, Stress, and How To Recover + Reset With McKel Hill Of Nutrition Stripped
I really wanted to have McKel Hill of Nutrition Stripped on the podcast. But I also didn’t only want to talk about her cookbook (trying to mix it up…per your requests!). So I told her that if she came on, we’d need to explore topics outside of her new book. She was super down for this and […]
Marinated Tomatoes With Za’atar
Last week, I was invited to a party. This wasn’t just any party, it was a potluck that involved journaling on the beach, building an earth mandala, and meditation. First, HUH? How did I get on this invite list? Second, WOW. These were a whole bunch of activities that the old me would have given the side […]
Easy Frozen Fruit Pops
Charleston is hot AF. And I’m not talking about how it’s “hot” as in it’s the best city in America. I mean, it’s seriously HOT, as in the temperature. People warned me, but I didn’t listen. Or maybe I didn’t care because I was too distracted by the palm trees, beaches, and some of the nicest people I’ve […]
Episode 54: Asking For What You Want With Julia Turshen Of Small Victories
This week, I’m talking to the incredible food writer and cookbook author Julia Turshen. Julia and I cover a lot of what you might expect in an interview with a popular food writer, but it was the not-food talk that really made this episode one of my favorites. Julia and I discuss how she knew she […]
Let’s Hear It For The (Supportive) Girls + Alfredo With Watercress And Chives from Lindsey S. Love
I’ve had a lot of careers in my life. After graduating, I interned at this weird design firm. And that internship led to a job designing stationery to a job doing PR/marketing to a job designing graphic tees to a job opening a bar. And then back to a job in stationery to a job […]

Easy Crisp And Roasted Potatoes + A Lesson From Ruth Reichl
I’m about to make a bold statement. I just read a book that changed my life. Ok, less bold. Not my entire life…but my current life and mindset. My current state of feeling where I’m feeling a little weird, a little stressed, and a little without my usual groove. In fact, I’d say I’m on real-emo high alert […]
Episode 43: Creating Meaning From Experience + The Art Of Not Being “Busy” With Adrianna Adarme Of A Cozy Kitchen
This week I’m bringing you a conversation with Adrianna Adarme, creator of popular website A Cozy Kitchen and author of the new book, The Year Of Cozy.

Keepers Cookbook Giveaway!
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted the Corn and Jalapeño recipe from the new Keepers cookbook? Well, one of the authors (Caroline Campion) liked it so much that she offered to give away a copy of her new book to an OPPer! How exciting is that? I got a chance to check out […]
