THE F WORDS | THE QUARANTINE KITCHEN

Listen, I've always been a fan of cooking. I've been obsessed with getting cookbooks and Bon Appétit test kitchen videos and trying everything I see. There's something about cooking that is just the right amount of stressful pressure to get it right, combined with the satisfaction when it's done that really gets me going. A stupid way to put it? Probably. Do I care? No.

Anyway! With the quarantine going on right now, I am trying to find the best in everything. This is the perfect time to take out every single cooking tool I have an start making things I've been thinking about making for so long. I am going to call this series The Quarantine Kitchen and I hope you'll follow along! I am hoping to write these maybe once or twice per month with an update on new things I will be trying. Maybe it will turn into something weekly, that would be great.

If you try anything I put here, please share photos with me and use the hashtag #TheQuarantineKitchen! I would love to see how everyone is making these recipes their own.

WELCOME TO LE SAUVAGE BLOG

Wow. I couldn't be happier to be writing this POST!

Heard It Through The Irvine is BACK everyone, but it's back as something new. It has gone through somewhat of a rebrand, or change. The type of content you will be getting will be in similar categories, or buckets, but the name has changed. 

I am now 'Le Sauvage Blog' and there are so many reasons why. First, I want to say HITTI has given me so much. I loved the name so much because it spoke to me, my name was in it, it was everything to me. It got me through such a tough time in my life that was transitionary from stress at home, to living on my own. As soon as I moved into my first apartment, I wrote a few posts, but I never got on the schedule or the regiment that I always wanted to get on or that I envisioned for myself. It is because of this that I leaned into the laziness - but I am not happy about it at all. 

I decided to 'rebrand' the blog to it's new name because for at least two years I have been saying outloud to friends and to myself 'oh, I can see myself writing about that on Le Sauvage Blog' or 'omg that's savage!' or something that has 'savage' in it. I decided to make it chic and French (because, you know, I'm so chic and French) and I went with it. I couldn't be more excited to be starting things again. I need this so much and for so many reasons.
