#journalesque
I’ve been taking a little much needed break from cooking, baking and recipe writing [when it’s done ”for fun”]. Not only am I busy chasing a toddler during a pandemic, but I’m also ironically trying to catch my breath and relax. More to come.

[Definitely not a photo for vegans & vegetarians.]
Limes have been on the menu this week because the weather has gotten significantly warmer here. It’s actually pretty insulting when you’re celebrating the change from -20F to 20F. Still freezing, but less, um, cold.
Chimichurrihas been the theme since you can put it on ANYTHING: steak, roasted vegetables, eggs, and even soup. Click, save, try, and let me know what you think!

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂! I’ve been missing New York A LOT lately so I ordered cheesecake from Keki Modern and Peking duck from Jing Fong. It’s times like this that makes me love services like Goldbelly.#NotSponsored

Take-out dinner from Tavola Minneapolis.
Pictured: Housemade cheese tortellini with porcini cream (so delicious!), parma pizza, margherita pizza, brussels sprouts caccio e pepe, beet salad.
It’s been a long, rough week: “A” had a round of infusion treatment, we’re dealing with sleep regression, Bacon is starving for attention and misbehaving…the list goes on. The number of recipes I’ve been posting has dramatically decreased for obvious reasons: I’m stretched thin. I’m grateful for small acts of kindness, including being given the exception to pick-up food curbside when they only do take-out and dine-in. #SupportRestaurants

It’s estimated that around 1 out of 6 restaurants have closed in the pandemic. Restaurant life was already hard: read this hidden cost breakdown of food delivery services, placing owners and workers between a rock and, well, a hard place. Are you getting take-out? If so, how are you getting it?

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may know that we’re currently battling a health issue with our daughter. With two hospitalizations in one month under our belt, I’m exhausted in every way possible.
We are one of the many American families that are on the path to a diagnosis. Diagnosis for a rare disease takes an average of 4.8 years. From NHGRI:A rare disease […] affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States at any given time. There are more than 6,800 rare diseases. Altogether, rare diseases affect an estimated 25 million to 30 million Americans. Globally, 350 million people worldwide. Rare is everywhere, but also nowhere at the same time: health care coverage, access to highly-specialized resources, pharmaceutical drugs & access to multiple treatment options. But we’re also at a place where we can’t technically say what she has is rare. Remember? 4.8 years? Yep.
The pandemic is hard. This has made it harder. And my heart hurts.
Food is comfort. Food is love. More to come.
