Have you ever made your own jam? It’s, like, stupid easy. And wayyy better for you than store-bought versions (at least this recipe is 😉). If you over-did it at the market buying fresh berries and have some leftover that are about to turn, do …

Tonight we are celebrating a birthday, Greek style! My amazing friend Jordan was supposed to be in Athens tonight celebrating (but of course Covid had other plans), so we are bringing Greece to her! This salad turned out WAY better than anticipated! It’s got your …
