Grocery shopping these days is just about the most exciting part of my week. Exciting but also terrifying and strange and surreal. After talking to many of you on Instagram, I've learned that most of you are (carefully) shopping in person versus using delivery services so I wanted to share my tips on how to stay safe, how I navigate the store, and an example of our weekly grocery list.
I have been wanting to make the famous David Leite chocolate chip cookie recipe ever since the Cupcakes & Cashmere team had a chocolate chip cookie bake-off and this recipe won. There's no time like the present so I went for it yesterday. While this recipe is not my usual go-to of quick and easy, it is worth the extra steps and the hours of waiting.
This year I committed to posting a sustainability challenge monthly, but I have spent the last week thinking on this and decided to go in a different direction for the month of April given the circumstances. I encourage you to continue to participate in my previous challenges. Keep avoiding plastic bottles, keep trying to clean up your cleaning product, keep avoiding single-use plastic bags, and continue eating less meat.
Last night I cooked artichokes for the first time. I loveeeee artichokes and have a nostalgic connection with them because my grandma used to make them all the time and it was one of my favorite dishes she made. Whenever I see them on a menu I order them but have always been intimidated to cook them at home.
