Weekly Seared Cabbage Soup

Some recipes you make once and forget. This isn't one of them. My seared cabbage soup has become a non-negotiable part of my weekly routine — and once you try it, you'll understand why.

It starts with a technique most people skip: searing the cabbage before it ever hits the broth. That one step builds a depth of flavor that makes this soup taste like it simmered all day. From there, a classic mirepoix, Calabrian chili, Better Than Bouillon, and a full carton of chicken stock do the rest. The result is rich, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying.

I make a pot every week. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I add rice when I want something heartier. And every time I need to reset, debloat, or just feel good in my body, this is what I come back to. It's affordable, it takes about 30 minutes, and it keeps in the fridge for 4–5 days — which means one cook session carries you through almost the entire week.

This is the kind of recipe that proves simple ingredients, done with intention, are always enough.

Give it a try. I promise your weekly menu will never be the same.

Music That Jumpstarts My Glow

I listen to music Every Single Day. This one here, give me all the feels. I play it when I’m already in a glow flow, or need to be reminded of one. I hope you love it too, and that this encourages you to create a “Glow” playlist yourself.

Every two weeks, I bring home fresh flowers, turn on good music, and create a little moment of beauty. It’s one of my favorite ways to add softness, romanticism, and whimsy to everyday life, not for a special occasion, but simply because ordinary days deserve beauty too.

In Bloom is a glimpse into that ritual. A reminder that joy can live in the small things: arranging stems at the kitchen counter, letting your home feel a little more alive, and creating beauty just because it makes you smile.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to romanticize your own life a little more, this is it. Buy the flowers. Play the “Glow Baby, Glow” (or of course, one of your choosing . Make your everyday feel like something worth celebrating.
