I don't have very cute feet. I get calluses easily and quickly, my heels are often cracked, and my big toes point inwards (or "take a hard left", as Anel lovingly teases). Over the last few years, I've realized that I can fix one of those problems at home.
About a week into COVID in 2020, I realized that I was due for a pedicure so I took off my nail polish and tried to do it myself.
Greetings, friends, on this sunny and unseasonably warm New England winter day. My week was all over the place but I'm taking most of today offline to hang out with my dad who came for a quick visit last night. We are going to see Amalia's Valentine's Day show at school this morning then hanging out, running some errands, and having a father daughter lunch which will be so nice.
Earlier this week I was a guest on the Sober Mom Life Podcast (episode forthcoming) which was definitely the last thing I expected to be on my 2023 bingo card. When I decided to take a break from alcohol last October, the thought of me continuing sobriety into February and beyond was not at all what I was expecting.
This winter pasta salad is a bit of a sleeper recipe. It doesn't look like much but packs a punch in flavor, textures, and color. You can make it quickly, and easily and eat it for lunch all week-long. I generally use a high protein pasta (my favorite is Banza but there are a million options these days) to make it healthier and way more filling.
