i am a food blog

I say this at the beginning of every month, but I’m going to say it again: I can’t believe it’s May! When I was a kid it seemed like the months took forever to finish, but now they’re just flying by. May is always a super busy month for me. It’s chockfull of birthdays and celebrations, lots of food and too much cake, if there is such a thing as too much cake…

Webstuff:
1. It’s an East Coast/West Coast battle. Where would you rather live?
2. This article is kind of old (at least in the world of the internet), but I’m still mourning the end of the avocado.
3. This story on the nail salon industry in NYC is heartbreaking.
4. I’ve only ever backed on Kickstarter – it’s still in the developing stage. Lots of Kickstarters don’t ever come to fruition though, and people get pretty angry.
5. This photo essay is kind of mind blowing.
6. Have you ever wanted to own an island?

Link Love:
1. I’ve got rhubarb on my mind and these mini rhubarb & strawberry galettes look delicious.
2. As does this raspberry rhubarb pie with lemon buttermilk ice cream!
3. These flaky ricotta biscuits would make a lovely start to a Mother’s day brunch.

I’ve got my eyes on you:
1. My skin always gets dry after flying and I think it’s time to face the music and realize my skin isn’t super youthful anymore. I’m on the lookout for a good face care routine. I’m thinking of getting into this face cream, but I’d love to hear what you guys love and use!
2. This flamingo one-piece is absolutely adorable.
3. My mom loves reading (it’s where I got my love of books) and I’m thinking she might this light and fluffy novel for a summer read.

Have a wonderful weekend and happy Mother’s day to all you moms out there!

love & potatoes,
xoxo Steph

PS – I didn’t bring my giant SLR to NYC with me and am suitably impressed by how good my iPhone photos came out. The one above was taken on the High Line.
