Hello and welcome to Friday!
There I go again … I entered the title for today’s email and caught myself typing 2025. “Hello Heidi! It’s March, and you should be firmly in the current year by now, and that year is 2026.” I’m going to blame my error on never writing checks—with the mandatory date—anymore. Or having school assignments to complete by a deadline. Or, maybe it’s because I’m just watching the years fly by. Well, at least I have the season correct with my grill heating up for spring and summer burgers with caramelized onion on my plate as I watch my beloved Utah Jazz tank and the NCAA bball tournies fly high. Because honestly, I’ll bypass the calendar for a great burger any day.
Speaking of, I made my NCAA March Madness tournament bracket predictions. Did you?
Here’s a fun little project for you: How to be a walking calendar genius in minutes.
This blog post reminds me of what blogging was like when it started. I had such a delicious time weaving through Alex’s story and adventures that I found myself yearning for those early blogging days of yore. Coincidentally (or more likely not), the title of her post is trending with plenty of Instagram posts taking a look back at what you were like in the 90s?
Spring reset: How to create habits that stick.
Are you like me and just can’t deal with spring cleaning your closet? Well, no more putting it off, because we’re gonna declutter our closets, and here’s how!
Did you hear about this? This restaurant held to its 87-year old promise of free oysters to any 80-year-old dining with their dad when this guy showed up with his 99-year old dad. Now that’s some good news you can use.
Here’s a recipe for making one of Nobu’s famous dishes at home. Crispy!
I love eggs for dinner so I know this Chinese dish would be perfect no matter what time of day.
Or try this Japanese tofu and eggy rice bowl that’s budget friendly, quick, and easy to make.
These Caesar-spiked chicken smash burgers are a super smart weeknight dinner when time is not on your side.

High protein and power-packed is how to start your breakfast chia routine — no funky powders, either.
Isn’t it fun to sneak a little healthy oatmeal into a chocolate chip bar? They’re like the ultimate feel-good disguise.
Who doesn’t love a good copycat recipe like this popular Panda Express clone.
Asparagus adds that spring fling to this breakfast frittata.
Or, add cottage cheese, like in this veggie frittata.
A bowl of this salad is sure to bring spring and summer vibes on.
Or, try this salad that delivers all the crunch, munch, and healthy energy.
There is no way anybody will pass up finishing their plate when you make these cheeseburger stuffed potatoes.
Savory soup season is coming to a close, but there’s still time to make this beef with barley and cabbage soup because cabbage is everything right now.
Salmon gets the marry-me flavor-burst glow-up.
I’ve never seen a slow-cookin’ version of this favorite comfort food dinner.
Soft, pillowy, ultra-fluffy, cloud-like, and I don’t know how many other adjectives are needed to convince you to try this recipe for Japanese milk bread.
Cherries + almonds = make me the muffin man!
Try it hot or try it iced, but just try this horchata recipe.
No matter what the question is, tiramisu flourless chocolate cake is the answer.
The prettiest nail art you’ll see this spring.
Things that found their way into my shopping cart this week:
- This garden knife I find so totally invaluable for weeding, planting, and digging through roots, so I had to get one for our cabin too.
- This garden tool that someone on Instagram said is a must, so I did.
- This eyeliner I read about for the best cat eye, and it’s waterproof, so hopefully it won’t smear on my droopy upper eyelids. And if it doesn’t, it deserves a prize.
- I had a work date with a friend last week, and she had a new pen I hadn’t tried before, so I immediately ordered a set for myself. I’m such a freak when it comes to pens, and if you like a good line, this is a good one!
I also stopped in Nordstrom Rack and found this maxi dress that will serve me well for pool time AND party time this summer.
Have you ever noticed that once you break the seal and decide to buy one thing, you suddenly find yourself buying more? That’s how I ended up adding these retro running shoes to my haul. So cute right??!!
And how good is this jumpsuit?! Didn’t get. Yet.
These homes prove that white and gray are out, and color is in, baby!
The best books for spring. Let’s sit back, relax, and read!
And that’s it for this week! Have a great weekend and cook some good stuff.
