This past couple of weeks has been so much fun! What an amazing reception for Snacking Dinners! We've already ordered a second printing, and our launch party in Montecito was enormous (and a little buzzy, thanks to some celebrity guests!) Pick up a signed copy here: nowservingla.com/products/sna...
Last week to enter to win this gorgeous giveaway! If you’ve pre-ordered my book, Snacking Dinners (out in 1 week!) make sure to sign up:
My book talk dates are up! Come see me in SF, LA, and Oakland this spring—and in London and NYC (and maybe Portland?) in the summer:
"This is really good, Mom! You should write it down so you don't forget it." So I did:
Ha! That flavor confusion moment is the worst! I just cringed reading this.
I really enjoy dips, and I like using beans in place of pasta. Put that together, and this is what you get:
I probably need some good air fryer recipes, too!
Ooo! This looks great.
Such a good one!
I'll have to check out how he did that! Thanks for the tip.
What was the last cookbook you bought, and what made you hit the "purchase" button (or take it to the register)?
I made a reel on one of the not-great platforms, because you do what you need to do when you have a book to sell, but I'm posting it here too: I my first copy of Snacking Dinners!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
TFW you go out of town and your kimchi goes from not ready to too far while you're gone 😢 🍽️
People! My amazing step-mother, @drjenfreed.bsky.social, has just joined Bluesky! If you're into astrology you probably already know her work—and if you're not, follow her anyway, because she's an amazing psychologist and the most fearless, creatively prolific, generous, insightful human I know.
How have I been sleeping on the Kennedy Center Honors all these years? The music!!!
The delightful Bebe Carminito let me share one of her board recipes in the Snacking Dinners newsletter:
What Should I Cook Tonight? I need some rainy day cooking ideas. Needs to be doable, start-to-finish, in 1 hour or less on a budget and the tween shouldn't reject it outright.
My solution when half my family wants pumpkin pie and half wants chocolate 🍽️
Has anyone watched Interior Chinatown yet? I loved the book, and I can't quite imagine how they're going to structure the story to make the metaphor work—or maybe it's just its own, also good but different, thing once its on screen?
Found this gem on the CDC website:
In 1900, the three leading causes of death were:
Pneumonia
Tuberculosis (TB)
Diarrhea + Enteritis
Add diphtheria, and these diseases caused 1/3 of all deaths
40% were among children under 5.
This is why we're required to vaccinate!
It is extremely important when looking at these stats to understand that this is *INTENTIONAL*. This is part of the evangelical, GOP playbook. It's why Project 2025 wants to eliminate the Dept of Education and boost homeschooling. Uneducated, uninformed people are easier to control.
Unfortunately I think the men who troll the internet just to find people to pick fights with have found Substack—or was I just in a blissful little bubble the past couple of years?
I did something kind of insane and launched a second recipe Substack—Snacking Dinners. First up, Cheater's Spanish Tortilla 🍽️ : www.snackingdinners.com/p/cheaters-s...
My daughter saw this photo and would like you to know that you have a very cute dog :)
I just signed up and I haven't been paying any attention to what's on the channel.
I did not know this existed! Thank you
Guys, I made myself a cosmo—first one in maybe 20 years?—and I totally get why we drank these!
Clearly my new best friend
