CATCH UP!
In case you missed it: Last week, I shared a list of my go-to sources for credible, evidence-based nutrition info. As a journalist, I find sources to be SO important, and I know it can be hard for people to figure out who to trust. If you’re feeling lost in a sea of opposing facts about food, check out these five wonderful, trustworthy women!
Coming this Thursday for paid subscribers: It’s a bonus recipe week! This one is an umami explosion that you may have seen in my stories: Miso Parmesan Tomato Noodles. Verrrry excited to release this one.

Recipe I’m Loving: I know I’m very, very late to the game on this one, but I finally made the famous Jon & Vinny’s Vodka Sauce! Plot twist, though: We did not have vodka in our house, so we used gin. Let me tell you, it was still quite amazing, and I also learned in this process that Gin Sauce is a thing! We made some homemade linguine for a family pasta night, and we made this vodka sauce, a classic pesto, and the Eataly cacio e pepe. The vodka sauce was the biggest winner though.
Life updates: I’m headed to NYC this week! One of my best college friends is getting married, so I’ll be spending the weekend and into next week in my old stomping grounds (I went to NYU for those who may not know). Looking forward to being back in the city, eating all the delicious food, and celebrating with friends! Grant and I actually have to split up because we have two weddings on the same exact day across the country (sad), but I’m driving up the coast with Grant and his family from LA to Carmel for one night (the best drive ever), and then heading back east!
