I love it when I make something from scratch and have enough left over to store some in the freezer. It makes me feel so prepared… so wholesome (which is excellent since “prepared” and “wholesome” probably aren’t the first words that come to mind when describing myself). It also makes me feel smart, because making something from scratch that you would normally buy jarred from the store tends to be much tastier, much cheaper, and much better for you.

Minus the handful of years that I was a resident, I have visited California my entire life. My mother’s side of the family lives there and we are both natives. I don’t live there anymore, but I visit every chance I get. Often, as the plane takes off and I head back east, I choke back silent little tears. I remember my mom doing this when I was young – apparently it is a legacy.
