Gratitude Month, Day 23

Wherein I dust off my kitchen nerdery… I was making bread. I do this often. Yesterday it was pizza crust. And I know that instant yeast was invented just so I could skip the “proofing” step, but did you know that the proofing step is one of my favorite things? So I put the warm

Gratitude Month, Day 21

It’s totally okay with me if you’re getting tired of this. It really is. I know. There’s only so much of someone else’s cheeriness that a normal person can stand. For today, I’m giving you a list of 21 things that make me glad. Just to change things up. 1. It’s snowing. (Yes, it’s really

Gratitude Month, Day 13

Does it seem uncharacteristically shallow and silly to tell you that I am grateful for caramel popcorn? Well, then maybe you don’t know me at ALL. Because, oh. I am. Grateful, that is.

What’s the Deal?

You know when you get in a rut, and food seems stupid and cooking ridiculous and all you really need to survive is a bucket of ice cream and a sleeve of mini-Butterfingers? Well. Shame on you. I’ve never felt like that  a day in my life. — I’d rather have Snickers. — Love, Becca

Reaping the Benefits

I love the idea of gardening. My dad is a champion gardener, and I have decades-worth of weeding memories, eating the warm-tomato memories, corn-shucking-on-the-run memories, overwhelming zucchini harvest memories, and random other garden memories, including the time that snake slithered right over that foot.

Thinking About Boy Readers

There is a lot of talk about boy readers out there, if you’re so inclined to hear it. Some of it is awesome. Some of it is strange. Some of it makes me desire to speak out. (For instance, I hear some talk that boys will only read a “realistic contemporary” book if it’s “realistic
