• I can't find the words to express how much frustration, sadness, bitterness, and anger I feel at the news of yet another black American murdered by the police force, including an 'officer' with 18 previous complaints against him, no less. . But I am not the only one feeling this disgustingly familiar mix of emotions. The good hearts in this country are engulfed with feeling, and we *need* to harness this intense flood of emotions to make change happen. . When you see racism, pointedly call it out, even (and especially) when it's uncomfortable. White people NEED to start calling out other white people. . If you are in a leadership position, make sure you're hiring and surrounding yourself with diverse people, and not looking into a mirror of whiteness. If you notice your workplace is completely white, say something to management about it. The worst thing you can do is pretend that racism doesn't exist. . Talk about race issues with your friends and family. Be the squeaky wheel. It's not okay for anyone in your family to use racial slurs, no matter how old they are. If you refuse to call someone out because they're old, guess what? There will ALWAYS be old people. So if age is a disqualifier for responsibility, that means you'll NEVER hold racists accountable. . This is by no means an all-encompassing list of everything you can do to combat racism, but it's someplace to start. Be loud. Be progressive. Be the change you want to see in the world. Racist tolerance = 0. . . . . #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforfloyd #georgefloyd #underthefloralspell #slowfloralstyle #inspiredbypetals #flowermagic #floral_perfection #natureandnourish #nojusticenopeace #racisminamerica #icantbreathe #ripgeorgefloyd

  • So very excited for summer so I can make this insanely tasty fig + grape + ricotta salad again! There's no fruit on the fig trees yet, but they're loaded with fig leaves so I harvested a few to make an infused liqueur with them. 🌿 . It's not very common to find fig leaf-flavored stuff around, but when you infuse it into something (like vodka) it basically tastes like a mix between coconut and toasted almond. Seriously SO crazy good! 🤩 . If you see any fig trees in your neighborhood this spring or summer, snag a leaf, wash it off, and infuse it into some hot water or milk to see what I'm talking about. It's pretty fantastic stuff! 🙌🏼 . I'm getting it going in my IG stories today if you want to check it out. Happy Friday, guys!!! 💚 . . . . . #foodstylingphotography #foodstylingprops #darkfoodphoto #foodstylingandphotography #foodstyle #foodstylist #foodography #foodstyling

  • I'm writing up the recipe for this creamy spring herb rigatoni today, very excited to share it with you all on the blog later this week! ✍🏼 . The sauce has a mix of chives, basil, cilantro, anchovies, ricotta, garlic, lemon, and cashews in it, and it makes for a SUPER velvety sauce that tastes like a vibrant and bright spring-y flavor bomb. I loved it so much that I had it for both lunch and dinner two days in a row 😛🤩😅 . Can't wait to get this recipe up on the blog for you guys, wishing you a very chill Wednesday! 🙌🏼 . . . . #pastagram #farmfresh #eatpretty #darkfoodphoto #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #pastalovers #lovecooking #foodphotographyandstyling #homemadefood #lifeandthyme #seasonalfood #instapasta #firstweeat

  • There's dozens of young green raspberries in the berry patch right now, I can't wait until they all ripen to perfection over the next few weeks so I can bake with them again 🥰🙌🏼 . At the moment, though, the berry vines are falling over into the garden path, so today I'm going to try and stake and tie them back a bit. Very much looking forward to being able to walk by without the thorns catching on my shirt! 😅😂 . . . . . #bakersgonnabake #marthabakes #bakersofinstagram #feedfeedbaking #thebakefeed #bakeandshare #homebaking #instabake #patisserie #bakedfromcratch #cupcakes #instasweet #baker #homemadefood #firstweeat #foodphotographyandstyling
