I get LOTS of questions about what a full meal in my house looks like, so here’s today’s lunch! Columbus, Ohio
FERAL ICE PLANT! While on a quest between beaches (I was looking for tide pools and seaweed!) I found some super sparkly ICE PLANT! Which tastes both refreshing and slightly salty with a GREAT CRÖNCH!
GALIUM PARTY 🎉 Washington D.C.
I was A LIL HEAVY HANDED WITH MY MAKEUP but I was just so excited to get up and make some #forsythia syrup! Especially before this sweet bean drops all those lil cartoon banana peel flowers! 🍌 🌼🌞 Columbus, Ohio
Giant Kelp!! Rich in iodine and potassium, and capable of growing TWO FEET A DAY! It can be found up and down the North American Pacific coast from Baja California aaaaaalllllllll the way up to Alaska! I REALLY LIKE SEAWEED Malibu, California
IT IS FINALLY OFFICIALLY SPRING 🌼🌞💕🌿 these lil guys tend to sneak past me each year as I’m eagerly awaiting Virginia Bluebells and Cutleaf Toothwort and Ramps, but this year I finally saw them up close and personal!!
Welcome back growth! Welcome back sun! Welcome back warmth! Welcome, welcome, welcome! 💗✨ Columbus, Ohio
California photo dump!! I got to see so many wonderful people and work on a thing that I’m ALMOST ALLOWED TO TELL YOU ABOUT 😆💗 also trying to be better about sharing outfit deets because for some reason some of y’all like my sense of style 🥰

Life is good and beautiful and inspiring but life is also hard and stressful and sad. Trying to hold all the feelings, instead of falling into dwelling on only the negatives.
If you wanted a lil catch-up: Sam Thayer and I did a sold-out nerdy comedy show in St. Paul and it was a BLAST. A show that I felt legitimately great walking away from, which NEVER used to happen when I was doing stand-up multiple times a week.
Spring is springing here in Cbus, albeit a little early. But it’s hard to remember to worry when all of your plant friends are waking up from their naps 💖
Gave a talk in Indy, and was overwhelmed with all of the love and care and kindness from everyone I met. I signed posters for the first time and had a panic attack about where to sign them because I didn’t want to disappoint anyone 😅 Brains are silly, silly things!
Got to see my childhood bestie get married, and got to go to Italy to do so!! The day was full of laughing and running and dancing and music and dandelion wine amazing food and regular wine and so much love. It’s amazing seeing great people celebrating great people 😭❤️
The cluster headaches are back 🙃 and the burnout has been real!! I’ve been trying to let myself leisurely wander back to my love/obsession with all things foraging, but bills do still have to get paid 😆 birding has added a newfound layer of magic to hikes, though! I’m slooowly starting to recognize the songs, and now I feel even less alone in the woods than I did with just my plant relatives 💖
How are yall? Am I the only one who, despite the good things, has fallen into this kind of constant stress/tiredness cycle? I’m hoping once the weather is consistently warm it’ll all melt away like frost.
Also shoutout to @racheljoybarehl who took a couple of these pics and honestly turned around some rough days without even realizing it!!

DANDELION CAPERS 🌼 (which I’m posting from my flight to LA 😆 GOODBYE SNOW ⛄️ and I’M SORRY FELLOW MIDWESTERNERS)
Why did the kneading song go kinda hard tho… 🤔 and Y’all… it’s spring so I hope you’re ready for A LOT OF NEW CONTENT 🤣
WISTERIA SYRUP HOW-TO 💜✨ From gardens worldwide to Demon Slayer, wisterias are known far and wide for their gorgeous flowers and intoxicating scent! But did you know the flowers are edible and DELISH!
When #TheNatureConservancy asked me if I’d speak on how Nature affects our health (and vice versa!), I jumped at the opportunity. I’m pretty transparent about my struggles with mental health, and when I’m having a really rough depression or anxiety day, begrudgingly dragging myself outside always helps. We are intrinsically connected to the spaces we inhabit, the green spaces we neighbor, and I think that’s one of the most beautiful parts of being: our interconnectedness. Nature’s health is our health. Our health is Nature’s health. #WeAreNature @nature_org
I KNOW cookout sides aren’t supposed to be a competition… but I’m pretty sure these wild spanikopita bites (ft. @violifeus just like feta and salted plant butter!!) win anyway 😆💁🏾♀️
I haven’t been so excited to share a recipe with folks in a MINUTE!! And with a brand I ALREADY LOVE!? Sometimes life is too good to me 😌
So go forth, my sweet beans! And win your 4th of July cookouts (and every cookout after 😘)

THE RAMP POST. Two things make me have to mute my local foraging fb groups each year: morels and RAMPS.
I always err on the side of being future-focused in ALL of my harvesting, but especially so with these wonderful, tasty, smelly lil dudes.
ALSO!!! ALLIUM CANADENSE IS ALSO DELICIOUS! WHERE IS ITS CLOUT??? WHERE IS ITS TIME TO SHINE?? 😆

I honestly, honestly just wanted to immortalize this outfit, so here it is 😆 #sosorry #heytheresaflowerinit #andanedibleoneatthat #yayroses
