Beach Tank by Jess Schreibstein

Hey friends! It’s been a minute. I’ve taken a hiatus from my blog for awhile, mostly because life, being life, gets busy and this blog – one of my main creative outlets for over five years – started to feel more like a responsibility and less like an inspiration. But I never wanted to turn off the switch for […]

Chocolate Herb Truffles | Witchin' in the Kitchen

At this stage of winter, when most people are lamenting enough is enough and over it, I’m doing my best to dig in with renewed fortitude.

The inability (or unwillingness) to be in the present moment; the always looking back or looking forward; the discomfort or anxiety we feel when we’re not doing, […]

Blue Cornmeal Pancakes | Witchin' in the Kitchen

blue cornmeal pancakes

When we were in Santa Fe last October, O and I spent our last morning at the farmers market down by the rail yard. With our body clocks still set to two hours ahead on East Coast time and our bellies empty and growling, we were among the first people to arrive. I love visiting markets whenever I travel, because […]
