Yes, we’re a food blog but everything is political when our country is becoming a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state.

It’s never been about protecting life. It’s always been about controlling women.
Since overturning Roe v wade, 412 women have arrested for crimes related to pregnancy
Alabama: A woman was sentenced to 18 years in prison after delivering a stillborn baby at home and disclosing methamphetamine use.
Nevada: A mother was jailed for more than two years after experiencing a stillbirth and sharing a Facebook post expressing her grief.
Georgia: A woman faced a murder charge following the use of abortion medication that led to the termination of an unwanted pregnancy.
California: A woman was charged with murder in connection with a stillbirth, invoking laws originally intended to protect fetuses from third-party violence.

Creamy Caesar Potato Salad (New recipe!) **Comment “potato” and we’ll send you the link to the recipe**
The term “umami” might be overused but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Umami-rich ingredients are the keys to savory flavors and Caesar dressing is absolutely packed with them.
This is a fun, delicious twist on a classic summer side dish. It’s a creamy potato salad that uses homemade Caesar dressing, so it’s full of flavor from garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and (optional, but please use them) anchovies.
And since potatoes need acid, we use lightly pickled red onions which add a beautiful, tart flavor and bright color. Would you try this at your next cookout?

The French Tart (A Gin, Grapefruit and Rosemary Cocktail) ***Comment “tart” and we’ll send you a link to the recipe for free!***
It’s been a WEEK, right? I mean, every week seems to be packed with crazy. We’re ready to decompress a little. Want to join us?
One of my favorite words of all time is the French word for grapefruit: Pamplemousse. Say it! Pamplemousse. It’s hilarious, right? It sounds like it should be Liberace’s favorite color.
I also love that it’s a pretty effective insult in French, meaning an annoying, pesky, person who is immature. And of course, it also means boobies. So many uses!
Of course the best use for un pamplemousse is to juice that thang and mix it with some spirits. In this case gin (or vodka, if you like) and elderflower liqueur.
The French Tart blends gin, fresh grapefruit juice, rosemary syrup and sweet, floral elderflower liqueur (like St Germain). For a non-alcoholic version, use a good elderflower syrup and a little fresh club soda in place of the booze.

NYC is where I (Emily) was born as raised and where I've lived the majority of my life. It's hilarious seeing all the histrionics from people on the right (who've never even been to NY), claim it's going to be a disaster.
Mayor Mamdani has proven what can be done when the priority is helping every day people and not billionaires. Billionaires have enough advantages already. Asking them to pay a tiny bit more on LUXURY SECOND HOMES is not a hardship.
If they can't afford it, maybe they should sell their second (or third, fourth or fifth) homes and live within their means. Maybe they need to cut back on coffee and avocado toast. Bring lunch from home. Or just get a job that pays better.
Steven Roth, CEO of Vornado, had the audacity to claim the phrase "tax the rich" is "just as hateful" as racial slurs. WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE ASSH*LES??? The greed and narcissism is astounding.
It's time for a change. Republicans know it which is why they're doing everything in their power to prevent fair elections. We need to #VoteThemOut !!! LFG! #Mamdani #democraticsocialist #FDJT #progressive #VoteDemocrat #democrat #VoteBlue
The Most Delicious Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Spicy Mayo (Comment "salmon" and we'll send you a link to the recipe for free!).
Are there people out there that think building a ballroom is more important that feeding the most vulnerable among us? Is painting a monument to look like a cheap motel pool more important than making sure our children and elderly don't go hungry?
“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody". -- It's fascinating when Trump forgets to lie.
Well, the rest of us don't have that luxury.
-----
A reminder that it’s possible to get dinner on the table in 5, 4. 3, 2 …
Our air fryer-cooked salmon bites are seasoned with a fantastically delicious blend of soy, honey, chili flakes (and a secret ingredient; click through our profile to the recipe to find out). They’re tender, buttery and golden brown. We like to serve them over rice with our Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce.
This all came together in about 15 minutes. It’s one of the quickest, yet tastiest, weeknight dinners we’ve ever thrown together. Honestly, we probably spent more time writing this caption. Go make it!

Light and Crispy Cheddar and Scallion Waffles (comment “waffle” and we’ll send you a link to the recipe for free!)
Some days, when you wake up to the news that inflation is up to 3.8% (the highest in 3 years), and Trump openly admits he doesn’t give a single f*ck about America’s financial situation, you start to wonder if maybe this guy doesn’t actually know what he’s doing?
I mean, he’s a brilliant businessman, right? Except for a few little failures, like those 3 (4?) Trump casinos. Or Trump University. Or Trump Shuttle, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump Travel, Trump Magazine, Trump Ice, Trump: The Game, Trump Tower Tampa, Trump Airline. And I almost forgot that gold-plated but invisible Trump Phone.
But let’s give the guy the benefit of the doubt. It’s not like he’s some kind of criminal. Oh wait.
AHHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHH.
At least we still have the right to eat waffles whenever the hell we want, right? And we want them right now, in fact. Particularly, these savory Cheddar and Scallion ones.
They’re tangy and cheesy, extra light and airy, and have the most delicious crispy edges. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. We like to pair them with a fried egg, thinly sliced chiles and a little sour cream.
Make a big batch, freeze the leftovers and future you will be thankful when you need something tasty in a pinch.

Grilled Chicken with Dill Pickle Butter (comment “Pickle” and we’ll send you a link to the recipe for free!)
Do you remember when MAGA were losing their g@ddamn minds over $5 eggs? Now EVERYTHING is 20% to 30% higher, if not more. And not just food. Trump’s tariffs have made everything more expensive, and we Americans are paying the price. Have you notices that suddenly it’s pAtRiOtIc to have to sell your liver to fill up your car?
If you still support this administration, I’d love to know how it’s made your life better. I’m absolutely serious. Please tell me.
Now more than ever, it’s imperative to make the most of everything you buy. As home cooks, we’re always looking for creative ways to use ingredients we already have, rather than buying 10 new things for every recipe. Luckily, there are lots of uses for things that are often thrown away, like, for example, pickle brine.
Marinating chicken in dill pickle brine keeps it juicy, and flavors it with dill, garlic and pickling spices like coriander and black pepper. We use the pickles themselves to make a delicious compound butter, speckled with bits of pickle, fresh chives and dill, with a bit of garlic for good measure.
The heat from the chicken melts the butter, making a luscious sauce on the plate. It’s equally good on pork chops, or grilled vegetables, especially zucchini, red peppers and eggplant. If you like pickles, this recipe is going to be a favorite. #pickles #dillpickles #chickendinner #chickendinnerideas #grilledchicken #compoundbutter #FDJT

The Social Butterfly - A magical, color-changing butterfly pea flower cocktail // (Comment "butterfly" and we'll send you a link to the recipe for free!)
Look, we're not saying we're witches with magical powers that can wiggle our fingers and make rancid cheetos disappear -- but if we COULD... Sigh.
Did you ever have a mood ring? (Be honest: do you still have one?) Human beings can be opaque creatures, so it’s good to be able to assess someone’s state of mind by observing the color of their magical jewelry. We propose an alternative: observe the color of one’s cocktail.
This drink, which we’re naming the Social Butterfly, magically transforms from deep indigo blue to bright violet thanks to the central ingredient, butterfly pea flower syrup. We teach you how to make this alchemical substance, and how to combine it with gin, elderflower liqueur and lemon juice to create a wonderfully bright, floral, and colorful cocktail to enjoy on a summer’s evening.
We’ve looked at the color chart for mood rings, and apparently the purple color of the Social Butterfly is “balanced, tranquil. Satisfied”. Sounds about right.

This has been another very rough week, both personally and for the country. Our own personal struggles can often feel trivial under the weight of endless global catastrophes.
We know being "shadow banned" by Meta is extremely low on the importance meter -- but we've put our heart and soul into Nerds with Knives for over a decade and it's frustrating to feel powerless to reach our community because rich people want to control the narrative .
****On that subject, comment "Activism" and we'll send you a link to a page which list a few associations and charities we donate to and believe in. In our experience, small acts of activism can help staunch that feeling of creeping dread.****
Warning: a very slightly spicy rant ahead.
Just this week alone, the Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act, basically reinstating Jim Crow in the South. Blatant racism is back, y'all!
The unnecessary and illegal war with Iran is still costing more than $1 to $2 billion per day, It will likely cost US taxpayers up to $1 trillion over the next decade. And we have gained NOTHING. Not safety, not economic relief. Nothing.
Just the first few days of this war could have covered a full year of health insurance for around 1.3 million Americans. Or a full year of food assistance for 5.5 million people, It could have wiped out all US medical debt.
Gas prices have skyrocketed. Grocery prices have exploded. Energy prices are through the roof. The national debt has exceeded $39 trillion, and is growing at a rate not seen since the end of World War II.
But somehow there's still enough for this stupid, f*cking ballroom. It's a lot. A LOT.
Even so, we truly believe that most Americans believe in equality, empathy and justice. We know that this painful period will end, and we hope we still have a recognizable nation when it's over.
Will you join us? #activism #progressive #USPolitics #FDJT
Baked Eggs with Creamy Greens and Garlic Butter Toasts (Comment “Eggs” to get a link to the recipe for free!)
Hey guys, crazy idea! Why don’t we show our appreciation for moms (and all women) by voting out an administration that is an existential threat to their rights, health and economic standing?
But also make them a nice brunch, of course.
---
🎵Brunch dreams are made of cheese / who am I to disagree / you bake up some eggs with a bunch of greens / Everybody’s buttering toast points 🎶
Good morning! If it is morning. I don’t even know anymore. The last time we had brunch with friends was…. A long time ago. That thought makes us very sad. You know what would help? (OK, who said “therapy? Get out.) But you know what else would help? Making these baked eggs in a mixture of healthy greens and mushrooms creamed in a cheesy béchamel sauce, cooked and served in individual cast-iron pans (or one big skillet, if you like). We’d travel the world and the seven seas to have this, and some pals, around a breakfast table. One day, my friends. One day.

Blackberry-Vanilla Swirl Cheesecake (Comment "Cheesecake" to get a link to the recipe for free!)
Perfect for Mother’s Day. Or “Yay, I’m not a mother” day. Or “I need a treat because I can’t afford gas but there’s money for war and a ballroom” day. Whichever fits.
Do you often find your baked cheesecake process laborious and slightly stressful? Us too! .
That’s why we’ve posted a new no-bake cheesecake recipe (based on a recipe by baking guru and all around swell gal @bravetart ). It’s got a smooth and scrumptious blackberry/vanilla swirl filling on a (optional) baked biscuit crust.
So it’s half-baked, really. And it uses freeze-dried berries, so save those ripe blackberries for the top. Would you like a piece? Us too.
