Hi friends!! How is everyone’s summer going? I’m back to the office after about 3 months of quarantining – masked and socially distanced, of course. So it’s been nice to have a wee bit of normalcy while trying to dress up for work and fit in ANY pants. […]
Talk about the best kind of accident. This little random egg scramble came together because of my absolute failure to make Joshua McFadden’s onion + pancetta tart from the FAB cook book, Six Seasons (a veggie forward book and a must-have). I am absolutely incapable of making a […]
