Life Updates + News Worth the Read

January 12, 2019 by Alyssa

Just a quick check in to say hello for the week and share some life updates along with a few articles from around the web that are worth the read.

There’s not much happening in the world of Her Modern Kitchen.  I’ve been slaying it on the breakfast front but other than that, there hasn’t been much real cooking or baking going on the past week.  I’ve really been leaning on Snap Kitchen for lunch (save $45 on your first meal subscription or $15 on your first order with my code aaro-cxx) and Sunbasket for dinner.

While I do LOVE be in the kitchen, sometimes I get tired of doing all the planning and cooking so Snap Kitchen & Sunbasket take the thinking out of cooking while still delivering delicious meals. I’m also doing dry January again this year AND giving up desserts for the month so Snap Kitchen & Sunbasket make it easy to stay on track. (Don’t worry, I got my January Macaron Baking Challenge under control, the post will be coming soon!)

As for this weekend, <3M and I are headed to Dallas to celebrate our friend’s engagement and we couldn’t be more excited. He’ll be serving my favorite Smoked Cardamom Old Fashioned during the event along with some delicious Indian food. My parents are also in Austin for 3-months (renting a house) so they’re heading to Dallas with us too.

Anyway, while we’re away celebrating with a little weekend road trip, I wanted to share a few articles from around the web that caught my eye that are 100% worth the read!

Worth the Read

This article talks about brand overload when trying to ‘keep up with the Jones’ in this new age world.  A reporter tried all the ‘best’ products for a week and shared the outcome.

Being a millennial, I can 100%  relate to this article about why my generation is considered lazy.

My blog is a hobby. It’s not a side-hustle. There’s a difference.

Hormones. Do you really know how much impact they have on your health?

Pink salt is now an accent piece in millennial kitchens.

S’more coffee. Turmeric lattes. Here’s to the crazy world of coffee today.

Things you didn’t know you needed that were invented in 2018.

And buttons that don’t work and why the world is full of them.

I’ll be back next week with some recipe love. Have a great weekend!
