As some of you know, mor.sl was founded with social responsibility in mind. Thanks to a tradition in my family, whereby a portion of every first investment or paycheck (and each thereafter) is contributed to charity, we decided to invest a percentage of our founders' money towards a cause we believed in.

I'll be honest. In general, I'm not a huge fan of the concept of dinner kits. To me, it feels infantilizing and somehow condescending if my carrots are individually packaged and prechopped.

We picked up this habit from the mister-to-be's side of the family: every night, without fail, they have a salad with their dinner. We've always tried to do the same, but we didn't always follow-through, until a beautiful salad bowl found its way into the kitchen.

It doesn't matter if you have a special someone in your life or if you just broke up with that special someone, or if you are single and ready to mingle... let's be very clear about one thing: Valentine's Day is an excuse to indulge in excellent desserts.

This was a tough week. The mister-to-be suddenly left town on Tuesday to attend to family business on the left coast, leaving me to celebrate our five year anniversary all by lonesome.

I've started an underground speakeasy. Okay, not actually. But I kind of want to. I've been fascinated by speakeasies for a few years now - ever since they started popping up. Some may say I'm a little obsessed.

Granted, the recipe for this paneer came from my sister. But I couldn't help feeling like my mother as I made it. I was wearing slippers, as she always does in the kitchen. I was stirring furiously to brown my onions, as she does.

Most of the bloggers that I've come to adore make everything from scratch. While I'd love to follow in their footsteps, I'm just not there yet. I still use canned beans instead of cooking my own (in case you're wondering why that matters, it's because the canned ones have salt, preservatives and BPAs.

I toyed with the idea of doing a 3-day juice cleanse. It sounded like a nice thing to do: stuff yourself with fruits and veggies and nothing else for 3 days, drop some water weight and remove toxins from your body.

Instead of seasonally appropriate visions of baked goods dancing in my head, I am starting to contemplate spending my holidays baking casseroles. With a baby plotting his entry at the beginning of the year, I plan to spend the holidays whipping up lots of frozen meals to have on hand for the first weeks of mayhem.

Great minds think alike. When I sat down to draft this post a week ago, I entitled it "A-Not-So-Traditional-Thanksgiving-Feast." Of course, in my post-Thanksgiving coma, I didn't actually get a chance to finish my post.
