Hi Reader, This week's meal plan is a pantry clean-out. You know that jar of diced tomatoes that's been sitting in the back of your pantry since...well, let's not talk about when? That can of tuna you keep meaning to do something with? The dry pasta you have three open boxes of? This is their week to shine. Every dinner on this plan is built around stuff you probably already have on hand—canned beans, dried pasta, pantry spices, and whatever odds and ends are hanging out in your fridge.

Hi Reader, Between the garden, the woods, and our local orchard, this has been one of those weeks where every surface in my house has something fermenting, canning, or cooling on it. Let's catch up. From My Kitchen Bubbling away on in The Fermentation Station. 🫙 I finally pulled my fermenting gear back out this week, and I forgot how much I love the whole process. It's equal parts science experiment and kitchen witchcraft. As far as veggie ferments go, I've got salsa, dill pickles, and garlic...
Hi Reader, It's been a minute since I checked in. I hope you'll forgive me because May was a lot. Like, a lot a lot. We packed in a road trip to Vermont, the Indy 500, the last day of school, and some serious garden work—and then my body promptly sent me the bill. I've been in a major chronic illness flare and boyyyy have I spent a lot of time horizontal, which has given me plenty of time to catch up on TV and reread my favorite books. Here's what the last few weeks actually looked like:...
Hi Reader, Can I be honest with you for a second? Life has been a lot lately. The kind of a lot where standing over a hot stove for an hour sounds like an actual punishment.
