There’s a certain kind of weeknight fatigue that hits after a full day—the contents in your fridge feel uninspiring, and the temptation to hit the takeout app is strong. But lately, I’ve been trying to make decisions that my future self will thank me for, and often that means making a healthy homemade dinner with […]
I spent last week in Prince Edward Island with family, and this wasn’t the kind of trip I could have planned on my own.

When our AC is working overtime (it’s currently 98 degrees in Denver), the last thing I want to do is stand over our stove. This is the time of year when I most crave food that requires minimal effort. Enter: 10-minute meals. These have become my seasonal saving grace. As a mom navigating hormone balance, […]
The moment I stopped lying to men was the moment I stopped lying to myself. Not “lying” in the dramatic sense. I wasn’t spinning stories or pretending to be someone I wasn’t. But I was editing. Smoothing the edges. Avoiding hard truths like: I want to get married. I want to have kids. I want […]
