Cherry Tomato and Chard Pizza Margherita
The cherry tomatoes in my garden are finally ripening, and now I have the fun of figuring out how to eat them all. This weekend I grabbed a bag of pre-made pizza dough from Trader Joe’s and put ’em on a pizza, along with some chard and basil from my garden. That’s about as local […]

What I Wore: Throwback
Lately I’ve been in a ’90s frame of mind. I was a teenager during that decade, and while I would never want to be a teen again, I definitely wouldn’t mind the return of some ’90s trends (record-low unemployment, grunge music, and riot-grrl culture all spring to mind).

Healthy-ish Chocolate Hazelnut Bites
Nutella is one of those foods that is so delicious that I rarely buy it, because when I do I end up eating it by the spoonful. Although it’s billed as a chocolate hazelnut spread, neither of the first two ingredients of Nutella are hazelnuts–they’re sugar, and palm oil, in that order. So I was […]
