I don’t recall when I first learned of Half Baked Harvest but I do remember I was immediately intrigued. The recipes sounded delicious and followed a similar ethos to our cooking — simple, seasonal and whole foods. The composition of the photos was also impressive and I appreciated that Tiegan Gerard was a fellow Coloradan
Good thing number one: Getting back to routines and feeling normal-ish via cooking dinner, reading a book, going into an office (that happens to be just a few blocks from the ocean) and having a fully-unpacked house and nearly-complete moving to-do list because it’s wonderful to finally feel like I can breathe again.
