‼️warning, this is a political post pretending ‼️warning, this is a political post pretending to be about this gorgeous chicken I made for dinner ‼️Cooking is my catharsis when the world is crazy & so I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen since like 4 years ago lol 😂 BUT in all seriousness, there is something I want to say: The crazy, loud, conspiracy-loving minority has never had an enormous impact, but the silent, acquiescing majority does. IF you just “let something go” because you don’t want to cause drama, or keep silent while witnessing injustice you CONDON it. You give it life. ••• Speak up for human rights. ✊🏿Speak up for the weak. 👫Speak up for the future. 🌍 Because if you don’t, the bigoted minority will push you out of the way & you will lose your opportunity to make this world a better place. ✌️ ••• #lockhimup  #peaceandlove #stopthespread #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #coexist #speakup #jisforjourney #scienceisreal #climatechangeisreal #prolife #blacklivesmatter #learnhistory

I wasn’t going to write this post. Stubbornly de I wasn’t going to write this post. Stubbornly determined to wallow in how shitty this year has been for literally the entire planet, but I do have things to be thankful for and I shouldn’t forget that. 

1. Thankful I have a house that I love & a big backyard. 🏡 
2. Thankful I have such a wonderful, close-knit family. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👦
3. Thankful we did not experience financial insecurity this year. 💰 
4. Thankful for my health, even as problematic as it is. 🏥 
5. Thankful for an amazing neighborhood community! 🍻 
6. Thankful for my support system. 👭
7. Thankful for loving the kitchen. 🥘 
8. Thankful (sometimes) I have a big mouth and I use it. 🗣
9. Thankful for structure, the ritual, the rhythm of Catholic life. ⛪️ 
10. Lastly, I am thankful for life. Too many people had theirs cut short this year and I am so incredibly blessed to still be here. Hopefully I can do good with this gift. 😷 ••• #covidthanksgiving #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #thankful #blessed #happythanksgivng #floridathanksgiving
Did I really need another cookbook? 📖 👩🏻‍🍳 Technically NO. The Internet literally has everything but I bought another cookbook. I follow @nocrumbsleft on Instagram & I really wanted to financially support their beautiful cooking. 🥘 🍲 I do genuinely prefer cooking out of a cookbook than recipes on the Internet. I also love the magic of opening a cookbook to a random page and picking a recipe. When looking on the Internet, I kind of have to know what I really wanna make. ••• “Find God amidst the pots & pans.” - St. Teresa of Avila ••• #whatsfordinner #nocrumbsleft #cooking #cookbooks #cookbookaddict #kitchen #jisforjourney #saltfatacidheat #vivavegan #raisingthesaladbar #whole30 #whole30recipes
