Good morning! Memorial Day weekend is officially here, which always feels like a natural reset—whether you’re counting down the last days of school (with excitement, stress, or both) or just waiting for consistently warm weather.

The crêpes were made, the eggs perfectly bedeviled when I noticed—with only a few minutes before my book club group was set to arrive—that the surface of my fridge was looking particularly grubby. I recalled seeing a tip on a blog earlier that week for…

For most people, a pizza date looks something like choosing a cute restaurant or maybe panicking over what to wear. But when you’re a professional chef, a pizza date is almost like a cooking class. At least according to Michelle Jimenez it was. And in …
A lot of people grow up watching their mom cook—I was lucky enough to be one of them. Even before I could reach the counter, I was trailing behind her in the kitchen, hoping to graduate from taste tester to mixer. And while I’ve since picked up tips fr…
After talking to more than 30 moms of all ages (shoutout to my mom’s friends, my friends’ moms, neighbors, coworkers, grandmothers, our F52 community), I got a pretty clear answer. While there were definitely some cute product recs, the overwhelming #1…
There are certain things I’ll always prefer to make at home—guacamole, pizza dough, pizza sauce… honestly, most sauces. Hummus is firmly on that list. I’ve tried to like the store-bought versions, but they always taste a little off—too plastic-y, too…

No doubt about it—matcha has soared in popularity in the U.S. over the past few years. Demand is so high that brands like Ippodo have had to pause production on some of their best-selling powders just to keep up. There’s even a National Matcha Day (May…
When Maya French and Dustin Baker became neighbors back in 2013, they had no idea they’d one day be co-founders, let alone build two beverage brands together.
