Hello! How are you? What’s new?
I just spent a few days in Kansas City speaking at a blogging event, and now that I’m back home all I can think about is apple picking. It was my first plane trip away from Max — I’ve left him overnight before by car, but flying felt so different. I’m still surprised I survived that separation! I have more travel coming up in the next few weeks, and it already feels like our weekends are booked through the holidays. Wild, right?
I also bought a new camera and can’t wait for a reason to take it outside and play with it. Yes please.
This week I shared a few short videos: whole wheat pasta with feta, pine nuts and arugula; a Nutella latte; and my butternut squash goat cheese dip. I had so much fun filming and testing each recipe.
