Baked Cabbage Sliders
These baked cabbage sliders cram all manner of good stuff into a crispy edged slider. Quinoa, eggs, cottage cheese, and a good amount of chopped cabbage all represent. I use one of my signature veggie burger moves here – anyone who has Super Natural Cooking (2007) might remember it. Instead of putting the sliders on […]
Using Reclaimed Wood In The Guest Cottage
When it comes to choosing permanent materials, I take my risks carefully. I have to really love the style or visual aesthetics of something to sacrifice function. Our kitchen island is the perfect example – would a big “engineered stone topped newly made cabinet island” function “better” than our all wood vintage store counter turned […]
How We Actually Use Our Pantry Now (A Lot Has Changed In 3 Years)
It happened slowly, then all at once. When we first revealed the pantry, we barely lived in the house, and I had no idea how much I’d cook or entertain here. Turns out it’s a lot (which is wonderful), and therefore the needs of “the hardest working room” expanded quickly (and messily). It is not […]
January Hibernation – My Favorite Skin, Face And Hair Stuff I Use To Treat Myself (Some Cheap, Some Splurgy)
I’m a few weeks into my winter hibernation and have finally recovered from the holidays. My social battery is back to a normal level (shh, I’m still hibernating). This January, I had nothing to do at night but listen to audiobooks while I organized every. single. drawer, made soup after soup, eat healthy, walk/yoga, read […]
The Link Up: The Henderson’s Go-To Cozy Faux Fur Blankets, Marlee’s Helpful Sleep Aid, And The Secret To Discounted Lululemon
We first want to say how unbelievably proud and grateful we are to the people of Minnesota. What is happening in their communities, and many others across this country we love, is devastating, terrifying, and un-American. Just like these brave Minnesotans, we have to stay loud, we HAVE to call our representatives (202-224-3121) and demand […]
The best no-annual-fee hotel credit cards
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to pay an eye-watering annual fee to get a travel credit card. If you don’t travel enough to use all the benefits that come with a top-tier card — or simply don’t have room in your budget to justify these fees each year — there are still plenty […]
The best new points hotels for families to visit in 2026
Regardless of who I’m traveling with, I always look for hotels that participate in major hotel loyalty programs, allowing me to earn points and enjoy elite status benefits, such as room upgrades and late checkout. Aside from that, though, the types of hotels I look for when traveling with my family can differ vastly from […]
Getting a refund for a canceled or delayed flight: What to know in 2026
Recent years have brought us all too many reminders about the importance of knowing your air travel rights as a passenger. From winter weather to summer storms and last fall’s government shutdown, it’s clear that knowing what you should ask for when your flight is delayed or canceled is critical when you’re preparing to fly. […]
Check your email: Major airlines, including Delta and United, gifting elite status
Some lucky folks are getting a nice surprise when they check their email or log in to their airline loyalty account — they’ve been gifted status. We are getting reports that members of both Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus are being gifted elite status or having their existing status extended — even when they haven’t […]
Muchachos in Kyoto, Japan
In Kyoto, surrounded by temples, quiet streets, and bamboo forests, you might stumble upon something completely out of place: a Japanese man singing Argentine football chants. Muchachos exists largely because of Isamu Kato, whose path somehow led from Kyoto to Argentina and back again. He fell in love with the people, the culture, and the […]
