Back to School PB&J Bars

Well, here we are. Michael and I both started school last week. It looks pretty different for both of us. It looks pretty different than it ever has. I’m teaching four courses via online platforms, some with a live video component, some without. Michael is

For a Christmas gift this year, I got Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat cookbook. I have been in love with Nosrat since I discovered her on a cooking show a while back, and was tickled pink when she released the Netflix documentary based on

What foods are you really missing in this pandemic? I miss Cartem’s donuts, of course. I miss the truffle fries at Lift or at Joey’s, which I usually share with my BFF and a side of gossip. I miss trying out new-to-me places. One of
