Random but, are you cutting pomegranates in a bowl of water? I saw how cute you decorated with them on the table and just thought I would share 😆This was mind blowing to me but all you do is fill a big bowl, cut the pomegranate (while it's under) and possibly save all your clothes and face from getting the juice all over it 😜

I actually prefer cutting them and hitting the bottom with a wooden spoon! Takes like 30 seconds and it’s my favorite method yet!!

Enjoy The Covenant of Water - I thoroughly did! I never knew the Family Stone was torturous, until I watched it with my in laws (& they made comments throughout the entire film...) Now I watch it by myself or with my mom, she gets it, hah! (:

Hahaha yesss. Totally a "must watch by myself" movie because it's already so overstimulating! I'm genuinely tense thinking about it, haha

I always delight in these newsletters, Jill! So much goodness always! Although I am so sorry to hear of your friend's loss <3

I just watched The Family Stone and it was perfect as usual. Also seriously wanting that salad you mentioned... I am rarely a "uses a recipe for a salad" type of person but I think you sold this one!! Now going to online window shop all of your cozy winter mood recs :)

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! And I fully agree. I just make whatever dressing sounds good and throw together whatever ingredients sound good but I was at her house for lunch with this beauty presented before me and it was one of those moments of conversion. Once you make it with the recipe once or twice, you’ll never need it again. But the maple pepitas? The apple butter dressing? Yea. You want this one.
