I've gotten many honey questions:

1) Does honey expire?

2) How do you store it?

3) What happens if it crystalizes?

I help answer these sweet questions in this @FoodNetwork article by @words_withlayla

With more folks focused on reducing waste in the kitchen, there are always creative ways to incorporate food scraps in cooking. How about banana peels? Yes, you can eat them and I weigh in this @FoodNetwork article written by @words_withlayla

.@words_withlayla calls TOUCHED OUT “a must-read for anyone involved in raising children, particularly to address definitions and a framework for discussing consent and to help children develop the self-trust and self-knowledge.” @hippocampusmag https://t.co/TXSAXXHIQT

[Beacon Press @BeaconPressBks]

With TOUCHED OUT, Amanda Montei “gives readers, particularly women, new language for parsing through their experiences in the realms of both sexual consent and motherhood.”

Grateful to @words_withlayla for this review in @hippocampusmag! 🙏 https://t.co/TXSAXXHIQT

[Layla Khoury-Hanold @words_withlayla]

Writing about my food memories from Paris to Aberdeen to Jakarta helped me find my voice as a writer. What a full circle moment to have my first @CNTraveler piece reflect that: https://t.co/fCc74TVVXS

[Aileen Weintraub @AileenWeintraub]

This essay by @meganmargulies reminds me of @CherylStrayed’s quote, "I wasn’t ever one of those people who felt like I will be completed by motherhood. On the other hand, I love those profound human experiences." A must read for all mother writers. https://t.co/DXLkQI029C
