Tokyo is a whisky city, and I’m a whisky girl. I didn’t realize it until we moved to Japan, but I’m glad I did! It’s an expensive habit though, and I certainly didn’t need another one of those.
Skillet-Roasted Okra
I have a love/hate relationship with okra. I think a lot of people who didn’t grow up with it feel that way. It tastes delicious, and it’s so good for you. But the texture can be really off-putting sometimes; it can just be so slimy! But at the same time, I love how the firm

Happy Friday! Here are a few of our favorite things for this week: Tea Towels: These vintage-inspired tea towels from Target have an adorable spoon motif. If you love the print as much as we do, there’s also a matching apron and oven mitt.
Creamy Veggie One Pot Spaghetti
I am a pretty responsible spender overall, but I recently decided to add up how much I was spending on breakfast and lunch at the office. I can’t exactly say that I recommend you tally up your purchases (the total gave me a slight panic attack), but the good news is there’s an easy fix!

Healthy Ham Tortilla Wraps
Fitness magazines start talking about bikini bodies in February. Despite my sunny California living, I don’t start thinking about being in public in a swimsuit until… now. It’s never too late! I’ll be svelte in my sweaters! I’m ok at diet-y foods when I’m cooking for myself, but I always like to find new
