To make schmaltz (aka chicken fat!), I saved the pan drippings from roasting off six big chicken thighs this week into a container. The delicious browned bits sunk to the bottom and the fat rises to the top. It’s absolutely perfect for scooping off and using for cooking (especially roasted potatoes – recipe coming next week!) AND is a budget-friendly …
I’d like to take this opportunity to address you all – our community of readers, supporters, and customers – about our efforts to become a more diverse and inclusive small business. While it’s always been been top-of-mind to consider how we can give back to our community, admittedly, the more global conversation around diversity and inclusion as an everyday part …

What’s my take on avocado oil? This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get. Understandably, it’s hard for some people to determine whether or not it’s a healthy fat, and also whether or not to us it or to cook with it.

Well, if you care or are just curious about how to cut an avocado like a pro, here’s how! Using a ripe but not overripe avocado, halve it, then quarter it. I’m sure some folks will peel …
A tip for how to perfectly char a tortilla! I don’t know why I was so intimidated by it before, but I only recently started to char my Siete tortillas (my favorite are the coconut cassava) over the open flame on my range. For years I’ve roasted bell peppers this way, but I was stuck in the skillet-tortilla-heating method for …

I want to show you an easy way to organize your food storage containers that is truly life changing. It makes me SO HAPPY. Not all of our food storage containers are glass. So before you @me with the comments, just don’t. The glass containers are nearly all glasslock brand I think. The silicone replacement lids for round containers are …
There was a time when I couldn’t go a few hours between meals without a major blood sugar crash.
