#pridemonth When my sister came out to our family

#pridemonth When my sister came out to our family several years ago it felt like we experienced our own little, private earthquake. I said why and how and no. I said everything but I love you.
I thought her coming out would break us. Our bond. How we were each other’s first responders to heartbreaks and celebrations and late night calls when sleep was nowhere to be found.
I did not know how to fit her back into my life. I went quiet. I read books and every Bible verse and listened to sermons and prayed and only prayed about Caitlin. The prayers were sloppy and messy and foggy.
And then one day as clear as I have received anything from God I received this, “You can still love her. You can just love her.” And the fog lifted and the freedom to love her fully and wholly was without burden or exception.
Our family is so much stronger today and we are all affirming. We’ve had her girlfriend to our homes. Over for holidays. We break bread with them. We all FaceTime each other regularly.
I did not know life could be this full.
I did not know love could be so uncomplicated.
For those of you who have come out and not only had to embrace the weight of your own vulnerability…but also simultaneously had to bear our questions and accusations and silence and confusion…you have taught me more about love and long-suffering than anyone I know. I’m so sorry for the sharp, nearly palpable, loneliness that was part of your journey. You are brave and incredibly loved and known.
This photo of my sister and me was taken a few weeks ago at her graduation. She completed her residency and is now a doctor. It’s the first flight I took since the shutdown and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Because I am and remain my sister’s biggest cheerleader. Congratulations, Dr. Caitlin Mullins. It is the gift of my lifetime to be your big sister.
(If you’ve been around this space here you know, we are door openers, not door monitors. And it was important for me to demonstrate, again, how incredibly wide this door is flung open. Two things I know, how extravagant it is to be loved by God. And how powerful it is to love others extravagantly.)

I’m just a girl standing in front of a meal, asking for it to be weeknight pasta but with summer flair🥳
Chicken cutlets with marinara but seasonally appropriate, ya know?! New recipe 🤩 Lemony, cheesy chicken cutlets (gluten-full or gluten-free optional) up on my site!

On Wednesday, May 26 @jamiebgolden released a statement during the Bachelorette Contestant Preview episode of @thepopcast that she does not trust people who do not like sweets and then listed my name publicly😅🤣
I would like to set the record straight. I don’t crave sweets. I feel like this is different?! For example, if someone were to say, did you save room for dessert? I would say, no. Absolutely not. I had 2 slices of pizza and 10 hot wings and if I had more room I would eat another hot wing😌 Thank you.
ALTHOUGH, every once in awhile a craving does hit. For example, yesterday we were casually walking by an ice cream shop and popped into the line. I then ordered the most extra ice cream on the menu. Cake batter ice cream! Sprinkles! Sour gummies! Fruity pebbles! A whole cake pop! I am henceforth requesting @jamiebgolden to retract her statement😁🥲
Do you crave sweet or savory?! What is the most extra savory or sweet thing you have ordered?!

I got on a plane yesterday!! I regret to report that I have forgotten how to be a person in an airport.
I showed up to the TSA pre check line because I have always been TSA pre check. Not anymore. I have never been so curtly escorted out of a line.
I got pulled over in security and searched. The conversation was v casual as you can imagine:
Security: “Do you have anything sharp on you?”
Me: “No! Not at all.”
Security: “Are you sure you don’t have anything sharp on you?”
Me: “No…..no? Wait, do I? What is sharp? Are pens sharp? Do I have something sharp on me??😳😳”
Security: *pulls out wine bottle opener* “You can’t have this.”
Me: 👀👀
I forgot about said wine bottle opener because in 2020 Jeremy and I were in an AirBnB and there was no wine bottle opener so we had to grab one and I shoved it into my backpack. And there it stayed.
All this to say, I made it to my destination a little upside down. But I think maybe we are all arriving to places and to people a little upside down these days. BUT HERE WE ARE. Arriving and departing and maybe trying to open a bottle of wine along the way. Here we go…

These are for real some of my favorite women on the internet🥳 I knew their work before I knew them in real life. (Also, you will get a full explanation of this photo at the end. STANDBY!)
🌈I listened to the @thepopcast
before @jamiebgolden and I took Paris by storm. (If you were to tell me the woman who I listened to weekly proclaim “LETS DO SOME LIGHTS!” would be the same woman I’d prance around the Louvre with while feverishly asking “WHERE IS THE APE SH$T TOUR? DID WE MISS IT? WE ARE HERE FOR BEYONCÉ. PLEASE BRING US TO BEYONCÉ. SHE WILL LIKE US!” …I would have dismissed you immediately.)
🌈I purchased actual artwork from @thelazygenius (and later The Meal Plan) before we shared a bathroom in London. (Does this sound weird? We stayed in a house on a trip to London and we shared that bathroom. Not like we both used the bathroom at the same time. The bathroom we shared had a door that did not close or lock so we did get v comfortable with each other v quickly). Also, I make her recipes on repeat😋
🌈I…did not know @laura.tremaine before our group formed😅 and she did not know me either. We both showed up to our first Zoom mastermind meeting like, who’s this other blonde chic?😂 But the minute I started following her I knew I wanted to learn from her all things journaling, reading and the power of lipstick. I listen to her podcast @10thingstotellyou and TAKE NOTES. I take podcast notes. Which actually is probably more like journaling. Wow. Full circles.
If you follow me, you should follow them too because what they are doing in this space is creative and fun and unique✨
I will leave you with this very inspiring info: before this photo was taken @jamiebgolden had a real crisis about where to put her hand. I didn’t know how to help her except to just hold that hand 😅 so here I am holding @jamiebgolden’s hand. It was a very tender moment that I will never forget.
Share your favorite awkward photo moment I WANT TO KNOW, do not hold back details 🥲

I made it safely to my destination! I did not get stranded on the side of the road (that was unlikely as I would have pulled into an Arby’s parking lot before the situation got dire but here we are counting our blessings and what not!).
Furthermore and more importantly, there is a cookie in my feed. I think this is the first cookie I have ever put in my feed 🥲🥲 You know I don’t typically crave sweets but when @thelazygenius shows up with homemade cookie dough and IT IS DELICIOUS then a cookie ends up in a savory food bloggers feed. Miracles happen every day and I am grateful for both the miracle of arriving safely and delicious homemade cookie dough😋(The recipe is on her site!) What is your Friday miracle? Cookie dough? Dry shampoo? NOT BEING STRANDED?!

To the woman who gave us 3 ingredient queso 🤩 🧀 Happy Mother’s Day to my mom! ✨
She is immensely responsible for who I am today for so many different reasons, but it’s the 8,000 minutes of phone time she logged right after I got married that would lead to my absolute love of cooking.
Without shaming me, and with careful repetition she tackled the following:
🙋‍♀️“What does a pinch of salt mean?”
🙋‍♀️“How do you toast bread?”
🙋‍♀️“When do you know the water is boiling?”
🙋‍♀️“Do I marinate the chicken with the packaging still on?”
🙋‍♀️“Is pink chicken ok? It looks kinda pretty.”
🙋‍♀️“After reconsideration of pink chicken (not willing to discuss my findings at this time), is burnt chicken ok?”
🙋‍♀️“I mashed the potatoes but they are disgusting. Am I supposed to add something additional besides potatoes?”
🙋‍♀️“You are not being forthcoming with me as it comes to your pot roast recipe. It doesn’t taste the same. What are you holding back?!”
🙋‍♀️“What does a handful mean? My hand? Jeremy’s hand? My neighbor’s hand? Do I need to borrow my neighbor’s hand for this recipe?”
With every recipe I’ve put into the world there was a little Susie standing on my shoulder reminding me the basics of cooking. I cannot wait until we get to cook together again one day! 💛
What question (that seems ridiculous now) did you ask your mom or grandma or caregiver?! (About cooking or life in general?!)

I got my hair done today which was promptly follow

I got my hair done today which was promptly followed by my second vaccine 💉 💁‍♀️ It’s a coincidence that both these fell on the same day but if you’re going to take a photo after you get your vaccine 10/10 highly recommend 😂😅
Also?! I kinda love that I got the vaccine on #nationalnursesday. Again, not planned but here we are🤩 I personally know so many people in the medical care and service industry who worked some of the longest and hardest and heartbreaking hours in 2020. You bravely showed up so the rest of us could graciously stay put.
Thank you to every nurse, doctor, server, hairdresser, care giver, teacher, sanitation worker, grocery shopper, grocery deliverer…to the people who stocked the shelves and kept the production line running (safely) and to the meal delivery services (although DoorDash why Five Guys burger and fries cost me $25 😅🥲)… to everyone who had to show up to the front lines so the rest of us could stay at home to limit the spread, thank you. There is a lot I want to forget about 2020, I hope I never forget how you showed up.

This bowl of food is a little deceptive because she looks so simple. But the flavor is v extra!
Flavorful doesn’t have to be complicated or complex. That’s one of the biggest lessons I learned as I became more confident in the kitchen. Just a few everyday ingredients paired in the right order, in the right ratio, can make a dish come to life with flavor!
This is one of the skills I teach in my Everyday Kitchen Masterclass! It’s the skill that makes cooking more effortless for me. I had someone share in her survey after she went through my Masterclass, “I didn’t know this kind of flavorful food could come out of my kitchen this regularly.” It can! I am here to show you🥳🥳
The doors to the Masterclass close tonight! I am so excited for the people who have already signed up!! I cannot wait to take these amazing people through 5 weeks of this course! You still have time to join us. Here’s to bringing together our everyday meals with more confidence and joy!

Before Jeremy and I left for Asheville I tested ou

Before Jeremy and I left for Asheville I tested out homemade Crunchwrap supremes, as one does 💁‍♀️ I ate three THREE of these wraps. Two that night for dinner and a third one for breakfast (and I feel v proud about my breakfast decisions thank you😌).
It’s time we bring together the Ultimate Taco Tuesday Spread! On Tuesday, May 4 that is exactly what we are going to do! You all, we are not ready for this spread. In the class we will cook together:
🌮 Margaritas 2 ways (the BEST margarita and a spicy, smoking margarita!).
🌮 Table side guacamole
🌮 My mom’s 3 ingredient queso
🌮 The ultimate Crunchwrap supremes
My live cooking classes are over Zoom so you can be in the comfort of your home, in your own kitchen. But it feels like a big dinner party because of all the ways we talk and share with each other during the class. It’s very interactive! You can learn more about signing up for this class in the link in my bio! What is your favorite taco topping? Mine is sour cream 😋 🐄

Jeremy and I are in Asheville this week but my hea

Jeremy and I are in Asheville this week but my heart has been heavy. From George Floyd to continued news of mass shootings.
And this is what I know for sure...
Justice is not one act. It’s not one verdict. There is no, “There we did it. Justice. Next.”
Justice is fluid. It is a lifetime of learning and unlearning and speaking up and listening and accountability and restoration and correcting.
With the accountability that has taken place with George Floyd’s murder my fear is that we (white people) will move on. I’m afraid of the “you got your justice” mentality.
This would be like saying to our children or to our own body, there, I fed you. It’s done. You should not be hungry again.
But the baby will be hungry again. My body will be hungry again. In just a few hours, in fact. Which is why I think it’s so poignant that Jesus says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice...” (Matthew 5:6, NLT)
Hunger and justice are intertwined. They are not satisfied with a single act. It is a lifetime of feeding. A lifetime of reading and listening and voting and signing petitions and donating and praying.
And I just wanted to say it publicly, I will keep feeding others and feeding myself and I will keep showing up for justice. And I will still burn meals, but I’ll keep feeding people. And I will get issues on justice and anti-racism wrong, and I’ll be corrected, but I’ll keep showing up.

She has a sugar rim and I don’t even know who I am anymore 😂 but this is, in fact, the best Lemon Drop Martini 🍋 🍸
Let’s make it together! Tomorrow I am going Live at 5:30pm ET for happy hour! We will talk all things Everyday Kitchen Masterclass! I seriously cannot wait to take another group of people thru this course in just a few weeks!

🍋 1 oz Cointreau or Grand Mariner

🍋 3/4 oz honey simple syrup
Mocktail:
🍋 Lemon soda water
🍋 Juice from half a Clementine
🍋 Juice from half a lemon
🍋 1 TBS honey simple syrup
I’m so excited to hang out with you tomorrow! 🥳🥳

Here is how we keep finding our way back to each o

Here is how we keep finding our way back to each other. An essay✨
Last night Jeremy and I threw a virtual dinner party in the form of a cooking class to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.
10 years ago we thought we would celebrate this anniversary by going back to the place where we honeymooned. And yet here we are in a pandemic, in our home, in our kitchen, cooking our celebratory dinner and live-streaming it to 70 internet friends as they cooked alongside us.
It was fun and funny and delicious and we talked about tattoos, and explored the extreme views on washing or not washing your mushrooms, and how making risotto is a lot like tending to a relationship ...
We were not in Greece but we were together and laughing and eating alongside some of the most lovely people we’ve not met in real life.
In the words of Jeff Goldblum’s character on Jurassic Park, life finds a way. Except maybe it’s that we found a way. We found a way to each other. We keep finding our way back to each other. We set up zoom calls and added face masks to our wardrobe and shipped gifts and sipped drinks on driveways and patios. All to find our way to each other.
And then, last night I taught how to uniformly cut a carrot so all the carrots will roast evenly and then after the lesson I said, “Also, it’s just a carrot.” And a 10 year anniversary feels big but also, it is just an anniversary. There will be more. More carrots to cut, more special occasions to celebrate, but there is only one you and me. And as long as we keep finding our way back to each other, it is enough.

10 year wedding anniversary! 🎉🎉🎉
First photo : day Jeremy proposed (the ring is nice, but look at how big my purse is😅). 2nd: most recent photo of us!
If you got my newsletter this morning you know that I am utterly shocked I made it to this milestone 😅 And while I have a million things I could say about being married to Jeremy the thing that I hold with the most profound awe is how being married to him made me more me.
Jeremy has never tried to change me or make me better or make me smaller. Being loved by Jeremy gave me permission to be a more awake version of myself.
May we surround ourselves with people who give us permission to be our most vibrant, awake, glorious selves. Whether it be a partner or friends or co-workers. I know there is a lot to be said on self-improvement and becoming a better version of ourselves but, also, you’re pretty amazing just as you are. Divinely and uniquely created. Maybe before we “work” on ourselves we welcome our full selves and we welcome others as their full selves too. This welcoming has changed everything for me.

This week’s lineup of meals is 🥁 🥁...Basic

This week’s lineup of meals is 🥁 🥁...Basic! Basic. Basic.
This morning I was v ambitious and signed up for a Live online cooking class. Which is taking place on a Friday night. A Friday night. The night where I am never a real human. The night where, if I were to be pregnant (I’m not) and the baby decided to come ON A FRIDAY NIGHT I would kindly inform little babe that I don’t human on Friday evenings. He/she will quickly need to reassess its birth plan. (This is how birthing works, right? Please advise.)
Proceeding making wild Friday night plans, I mapped out what felt like the next 5 years of my life (spoiler: it was only about the next three months).
By 2:00pm I wanted to sleep for the rest of the day but decided watching Billie Eilish music videos would be sufficient.
I then promptly made my first ever TikTok (we knew this was coming...it’s very low quality. I have no idea what I’m doing 🤗).
And now here we see in this photo, dinner. I was going to make a very flavorful and delicious homemade mushroom risotto with seared chicken (again, I came out the gate this week way too strong). Instead I threw frozen chicken into the Instant Pot. Shredded it and tossed with leftover sauce we had. This is dinner. It is a little basic but still yummy.
Basic can be yummy.
Here’s to all the basic meals this week. We lost an hour of sleep. We all might be a little upside down. Throw the chicken in whatever sauce you have. Or order the takeout. Or make popcorn and call it good. Then go to bed.

Recently, someone DM’d me and asked me how I hav

Recently, someone DM’d me and asked me how I have, especially in a pandemic, stayed so tiny.
I told her I have stayed tiny because I have always been tiny but I have gained more weight in the past year than I ever have. I’ve gone up 2 sizes in my jeans. My boobs are bigger. It turns out I do have a butt and it is now showing off!
What shocked me in this path of adding more of myself to my body is how tender I have been toward my body even though its new size is very foreign to me.
When I gained the weight I immediately bought new jeans. New bras. New underwear. It occurred to me that maybe I should just wear leggings until I lost the weight but ... Madewell jeans make me feel more like myself and my boobs were v uncomfortable in their now too small bra. So I bought new clothes for my new body.
What I know is all of myself is going through a global pandemic. My mind, heart, soul and my body. My body counts. My body gets to be part of the process too.
I couldn’t really put words to this welcoming until this morning when I read words from @sarahbessey in the stunning devotion she edited, A Rhythm of Prayer, “Nothing can move the meter of your belovedness.” Not weight loss, not education, not getting that title behind your name that you always wanted, not checking everything off the to-do list, not living debt free, not sobriety... some of these are good for other reasons but they will not move the meter of your belovedness. You are completely and obsessively loved and held. All of you. At all times.

Clementine 🍊 Honey Simple Syrup! This is now a citrus account 😌
Yesterday I made my homemade shaken espresso and after one sip, I wanted to add something a little brighter. THIS IS V GOOD NEWS! Anytime I start to crave brightness in my food I know spring is coming! Naturally, for this drink, I just brightened the 🍯 simple syrup 👇
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
Juice from 3-4 clementines
Add honey and water to a small pot and simmer on the stove until water and honey is incorporated. Pour in Clementine juice. Mix to combine. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Cheers!

Enchilada casserole on repeat over here because I am currently craving cheese, salsa, and FOR THE SUN TO RESUME HER “GOING TO BED LATER” DUTIES. The casserole has nothing to do with that last bit but if we’re going to list out cravings...what are you craving? (Doesn’t have to be food related!)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it is time to take your frozen pizza dough out of the freezer and throw it in the fridge to thaw! Friday night pizza night is upon us! 🍕🥳
Furthermore! I finally put up a post with all the info on how I make the dough and how Jeremy bakes the pizza! And I include a section for the most frequently asked questions.
Do you make pizza on Friday nights? Do you name your dough?! What is your favorite topping? TELL ME ALL THE THINGS!!!

I’m not disciplined enough.
This is the exact thought that came to me WHILE I WAS ON AN INDOOR BIKE that I purchased, mind you, because I knew I would not place my body in the cold elements of winter for any reason whatsoever.
There is a very extra lie sitting in your mind, drinking a coconut milk matcha rainbow latte with extra froth kicked back just judging you. JUDGING YOU EVEN AS YOU feed your family, wake up, go to work, keep little humans alive, keep yourself alive, reach for love, give love, pray, eat AND THEN REPEAT.
I want you to know that once you drag that very extra lie into the light of your life, it will not be able to stand in the midst of your beauty and magnificence. To this very extra lie I say, “Actually, I’m pretty disciplined in a lot of areas of my life. Also, we’re living in a global pandemic READ THE ROOM. Good day.”
✨I know this can be vulnerable, but I’d love to fill the comments of this post with you flipping the scrip on your very extra lie- with just a sentence. As, @laura.tremaine taught me, I’ll go first👉I AM disciplined.
