This weekend. Superbowl, relax, recharge (this Superbowl throwback of tiny Anders!!!!). In no particular order. What are your plans?
Here’s some weekend reading.
This spring dress. (Too soon? Would be great for a warm vacation too.)
Anyone have an Instant Pot? What’s the big fuss? Tell me what I need to know.
Some of you saw my IG stories yesterday where I was making this soup. It was a WINNER.
Nordstrom cuts ties with Ivanka Trump. Woah. Thoughts?
A feel-good video. Nicely done, Denmark.
I showed this bathroom to Steve the other day like “WE ARE DOING THIS” and he was like “Absolutely not. It looks like it should have a urinal in it.” Men have no taste. Also, how dreamy is this kitchen?
This is the best read yet on the painstaking vetting process from someone who conducted them. Please consider reading. (And, Amazon prime members, you’re eligible for six free months of Washington Post; $3.99 a month after that!)
Superbowl this weekend. This is one of our favorite game day dips.
See you next week!

Stacie says
DId you modify the soup recipe at all, or just cook as is?
bridget says

Adore that spring dress. Wonder if it would be obscenely short on my 5’10” frame. Unfortunately, most cute dresses tend to make me look like I should be headed to the nudie joint, not the general public.
That bathroom totally reminds me of a bar here in Philly where you go to one room to pee (in stalls, for the women at least) and then it’s co-ed for the sink, which is more a trough like that. So, I’m with Steve on that one. Totally bar-esque.
That dip – oldie but goodie.

Haha! The funny thing is, that bathroom actually DOES have a urinal in it!! See? http://littlegreennotebook.com/2017/01/juniper-studio-the-shop-bathroom-and-bunkroom.html/
bridget says

I got an instant pot for Christmas and have used it a handful of times so far. I made split pea soup in about half the time as usual, I made dried beans not dried anymore and portioned them (so much tastier and cheaper than canned beans!) to freeze for recipes, and as we speak I am using it as a slow cooker to make soup. I think it’s a great appliance. I’ve yet to try to make yogurt but that was a feature I was most excited about. Amazon has great deals on them every now and again. I’d say worth a try, and if nothing else it is a crockpot with a safer lead free liner that also has a sauté feature so you can brown meats for recipes all in one place.

Love these links! I hadnt heard of this instant pot you speak of! Have I been living under a rock?! Sounds amazing! Read what Morgan wrote and the darn thing even makes yogurt? Wow! I’m terrible at eating my veggies but this soup intrigues me….and that video…love

Instapot is amazing! Perfect rice in 12 minutes, risotto in 7 (I know, an Italian would never but busy American moms…), homemade apple sauce in 5, you get th idea. I first got mine when my son was a baby and had a rare Ana crazy food protein allergy (since grown out of it) and I couldn’t give him anything store bought due to the unknowns in non-homemade food. It was a lifesaver!! I say go for it!! Worth every cent. I still want to try it for bone broth.

I loved that Scandinavian-looking kitchen. The pale wood, open shelves, simple and modern…it’s a spa kitchen!
Hope says
I freeze meals to make in my insta pot which is a pressure cooker/slow cooker that also browns. Once A Month Cooking has some great recipes and if you like to have things tucked away to make when you get busy, this is great!
jes says
Love, love, love that kitchen!
Instant Pot: great for cooking frozen chicken wings to tender before seasoning and sticking in the oven/cooking dried beans to perfection/cooking rice quickly
I think Nordstrom’s cutting ties with Ivanka is misguided.
