Here's what you are having for lunch this week 🥗


Hi Reader,

Workweek mornings are not the time to be making decisions about lunch.

You're already trying to remember if your kid needs a permission slip, get your hair to do something presentable, figure out where you put your keys, make a decent cup of coffee, and get out the door before you're late—again. Packing a thoughtful lunch is simply not happening in that window.

The good news: none of these five lunches require morning brain. Throw them together the night before or knock them out on Sunday, and future-you will have something actually worth looking forward to at noon.

Curry Chicken Salad
The chicken salad that will make you actually look forward to lunch.

A little unexpected, a lot delicious. The curry gives it warmth, the grapes give it sweetness, and the whole thing comes together into something that feels a little more interesting than your average chicken salad. Scoop it onto crackers, stuff it in a pita, serve it on top of greens, or just eat it straight from the container.

Wedge Salad in a Jar
The salad for people who don't think they like salad.

A steakhouse classic, made packable. All the good stuff—crisp lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, and your choice of ranch or blue cheese—layered into a jar and ready to grab on your way out the door. It stays crisp for days, and it feels just a little bit fancy for a Tuesday.

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. Thank goodness it is grill season. Throw it on, walk away (especially if you have a Bluetooth meat thermometer), come back to dinner. No mountain of dishes. No sweating in a hot kitchen. Just food that tastes like summer and a sink that's basically empty. This week's entire menu is grill-friendly (either outdoor or use an...
