Collard Greens Ramen

It’s January- a new year and a new decade. I guess that deserves some acknowledgement, or at least it’s probably a good time to take stock of things and make some goals? The lead-up to the new year would have also probably been an excellent time to post something, anything, on this blog, or on Instagram, alongside the rest of the world doing recaps of the 2010s. But instead, without thinking, I was just kind of doing things I felt like doing and, I guess, taking some time for myself.

Pumpkin and Lentil Stew (Ari’ w Adas)

I discovered this soup a few years ago, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s one of my favorite things to eat.

I’m officially back in the land of the living, if the land of the living is a place where people sleep for 20-hour stretches at a time, cry at random intervals and only eat weird bites found under the glowing lights of the refrigerator at 3 in the morning.

Broccoli-Spinach Soup with Crispy Broccoli Florets and Croutons

It feels like a very long time ago that I was slurping my way through soup after soup. It also feels a little strange to be writing about soup, because I’m sitting on an island in a Nicaraguan lake sweating through my sundress at the moment. I know, poor me. But this is a selfless act, because I know that in many less fortunate parts of the world, it’s the absolute doldrums of February, which means you feel like it will never NOT be soup weather. So I wanted to share this recipe in case that’s the predicament you’re finding yourself in- to warm you up and remind you that winter can be cozy and delicious.
