Niknack Snackattack

Bread, butter, herbs, and salt… just a few of my favorite things.

The simplest foods ended up being the most memorable part of Copenhagen for me.

I came home craving open-faced rye sandwiches, lots of dill, slower meals, and ingredients that don’t need much to shine.

So naturally, the first thing I made was dill egg salad on pumpernickel rye.

My grandma used to make me grilled cheeses on “swirl bread” when I was little, so something about this felt both nostalgic and new at the same time.

I continue to find myself craving simple food, eaten slowly.

Ironic, when the US makes you feel like you have to move at a million miles a minute to stay relevant.

Post travel blues, eh?

Craving a big spring salad?? Time to take advantage of seasonal produce and make this one 🤝

This is my first real spring salad of the season, and the only way I’ll eat radishes. It’s crunchy, bright, filling, and the kind of lunch that makes you feel like a queen.

Are you a salad every day person or only when the weather gets nice? I break out all my salads in May and fall off by summer 👀🤣
