Ugly is the New Delicious

Ugly food is a thing now. And ironically, it's a beautiful thing. Did you know that a lot of grocery stores wont sell produce that's oddly-shaped? I'm surprised by this, because  who wouldn't want a heart-shaped eggplant? Lucky for us, there are companies who are working to reduce this silly waste, such as Imperfect Produce. They deliver these goodies right to your door! There are plenty of "ugly foods" out there that someone might wrinkle their nose at, but are in fact quite tasty. Consider truffles.

Four Ways to Give Father's Day More Heart

I don't want to use the word tragic to describe Father's Day from my childhood, because it involved a Bloomin' Onion. Nothing can be too terrible when it involves a Bloomin' Onion. But I will say our Father's Day lacked imagination. Every year we'd pile into a station wagon and...
