I have a handful of ambitious recipes that have been on my to-make list forever. Stuff like this: vegan deep dish pizza. The thing is, as much as I love the idea of something like this, I can mentally psych myself out. It’ll be a massive project. I’ll trash the kitchen.

I’ve never been one for grilling, but I think that’s starting to change. My husband and I had to run out a few weeks ago when I had a cookout planned and at the last-minute discovered that our grill had totally rusted out. It was a cheapie grill we’d picked up at the supermarket a few years back, so I wasn’t super surprised or devastated. Anyway, we decided to upgrade and get one of the fancier charcoal grills....

This post was generously sponsored by Sprouts Farmers Market but all opinions are my own. If you ask me, there’s no better way to eat corn than how they do it in Mexico: slathered with mayo and sprinkled with plenty crumbly cotija cheese and chili powder.

There’s this vision I have of Italy, a collective memory collaged together from the time I’ve spent there: on that honeymoon a few years back with my brand new husband. Or the time I came home from college one summer, not yet even 21, and jetted across the Atlantic with my family into that tiny Roman airport. The vision, the representation of the country in one flash of an image?...
