in the joy issue, i talked a bit about having an “opening shift” and “closing shift” in your kitchen (or anywhere in your space really) to make it feel cleaner and easier to live in. we do it at work, so why not make a habit of it at home?

it helps lead in and end our days so we know “I’m ready for my day now” or “I’m done now”. it can also split up tasks if you’re living with other people – if you take the morning “shift”, your partner can take the evening, or vice versa. especially if you work from home or need a better routine, this can help out!

these are just a few ideas that i do myself. i love putting on some music, a podcast, or a TV show while working on these – it just makes it more fun. ☺️

small changes we made to our kitchen to feel not as stressful 🤞

📋 put our most commonly used recipes and reference on our fridge, inside cabinets, and framed on the wall.

📥 put like items on trays while cooking – spices, produce, baking ingredients, anything that’ll help us get items together (and put them away) easier.

❄️ move the shelves regularly in our fridge when things aren’t fitting really well.

🍎 used other spaces in our house to store dishes, out-of-season cookware, cleaning supplies, or bowls of fresh fruit. (anything that doesn’t NEED to be in the kitchen proper can go.)

🍂 got a rolling kitchen cart where we store all our spices and do like 90% of our cooking.

📱 always having a charger for our phone/tablet so we can watch/listen to something while cooking.

🎃 “decorated” with produce, homemade ingredients, a few cookbooks at a time from our collection, meal planners, and pages cut out from the mag. it's inspiring AND functional.

🧺 used S-hooks, hanging baskets, and hanging shelves to add extra storage space.

🕯️ added a few low lamps so our only lighting at night wasn’t the bright overhead hospital lighting. 😖

🫙 fit storage into every tight space (including renter-friendly over-the-door hanging shelves) so that it can be shallow and easy to access, saving money and waste and making it look like a store pantry. 🥰

🍴 stored alike items together for easier cooking and baking. (baking tools together, baking pans together, etc.)

⏲️ utilize a “closing shift” (or opening shift, depending on the day) to clear the dishes and counters regularly. a clean kitchen makes it exciting to cook, not a burden.

(just) 10 ways i stopped myself from doomscrolling this week 🤞🏼

it can be important to stay connected with the world, but it doesn’t need to (and shoudn’t) be all access all the time – it’s bad for your brain, which’ll just burn you out and have you in despair. (which, imo, is exactly what those in power want.) here’s how i recharge and stay off addictive scrolling apps most of the day:

🎧 heading out (for *fun,* not just a dmv visit) and going to the market, a greenhouse, a friend’s place, anywhere that’ll bring you back to the world around you a little.
🧩 solving puzzles! more effective than you’d think at consuming your whole brain
🍩 baking – especially something that takes a while, like cinnamon rolls
🌲 putting on twin peaks for our fourth (?) rewatch and tidying up the kitchen
✍🏼 late night movies with a sudoku book
☕️ working with friends (or, if you don’t work from home, calling friends while you make dinner)
🎞️ scanning & putting into albums all of my family’s photos
🐈 reading under blankets with our cats
🌤️ starting the day with morning yoga (can be quick, even 5 minutes! it’ll at least get you out of bed which is where i used to get stuck scrolling)
🛁 ending the day with a good shower/bath to unwind and separate the busy day from the chill night
📱 setting up my phone to not be distracting (minimizing apps, turning off notifications, and keeping it in one place in the house during the day – if you work out of the house, this could mean keeping it in your bag instead of right in your pocket)

what's your go-to way to unwind from the stress of everything around us? always looking for more ideas 🙏🏼

interrupting your doomscroll with a tribute to my favorite creative force, david lynch ☕️

we love watching his work really late at night (and have been rewatching this week), and during twin peaks always get so hungry for donuts, but could never have them because donut shops don't stay open that late.

for our pause issue, we made some quick simple donuts to cook at home on nights like this. and at least for us, we could really use them right now 🤞

back in 2017 we went to squonalmie falls in washington and got a box of donuts to celebrate, and it was one of the highlights of that decade for me. channelling that feeling and frying up donuts today in his honor 🍩🍩🍩

to make cooking easier in 2025:
☻ one pot meals, leftovers on purpose, and using up what's in the back of the fridge → the plenty issue
☻ the fast and easy kitchen, slow cooker meals, freezer meals, simplifying meals to make everyday cooking easier → the ease issue
☻ cooking your way to a happier week, making food fun → the joy issue
☻ package-free meals, cooking with food scraps, the most flexible meals you can make → the sustainability issue
☻ a plant-based pantry, cooking without a recipe, saving time & having fun in the kitchen → the everyday vegan issue

are you at the designated breakfast maker in your household? like on a cold weekend morning, are you up flipping pancake after pancake or pouring a dozen waffles into the waffle iron? I think it's a joy and a burden at the same time 😅 but to me it mostly means you get your pick of the best batch 😛

for the latest issue, i made 50-60 crepes for this crepe cake - it was a long and tedious process, but i felt soooo accomplished at the end. the cake topped out at 30 layers, so we had lots of leftovers for breakfasts all week - the best breakfasts of the year imho! i ended up liking the 2-3 crepes on a plate to the full cake, even. 🥰

how i’ve been keeping our space clean during a hectic work & holiday time:

📺 putting a movie or a tv show on while we do dishes, instead of vegging out on the couch at night

🧺 starting in one spot and move in one direction from there – this limits bouncing back and forth feeling scatterbrained, and clears off one surface at a time

♻️ tossing items straight into the compost bucket, returnable can bag, garbage bin, etc. instead of setting on the counter to do “later”

🏠 having a home for e v e r y t h i n g so things can get put away quickly and without thought.

👋 never leaving a room empty-handed

📱 tidying something up instead of scrolling on my phone when there’s wait time on what’s cooking

🥂 inviting people over 😬 (the surest way to keep the house clean imo)

making the latest issue, plenty ✍️🍄‍🟫☕️🍁🎧💻🍂

basically endless recipe tests, writing, editing, drawing, photographing, and loads of dishes 😌
