What Will You Find Here?

What to expect from Salad on Substack.

Well, hello. It seems you are toying with the idea of subscribing to my Substack. Let me tell you a little bit about what you can expect, should you choose to take this journey with me.

My interests are vast and wide -- I am an obsessive gardener, a tireless cook, a world traveler, a skincare enthusiast, and a giver of thoughtful gifts. I am the mother of two toddlers and I know the value of real world advice from like-minded parents, be it children's book recommendations, travel tips, or lunch box inspiration. Not to mention the impact of hearing another mom speak honestly about the things she hasn’t figured out. 

Lunchbox inspiration from @saladforpresident on Instagram

I am a self-taught cook gone wild, happy to do the work of refining my recipes ten times over so you don’t have to. It’s my dream to help you to eat a salad at every meal. When I travel, I am haunted by the possibility of something better just around the corner, so I eat/shop/consume culture and catalog my finds so normal people can relax on their vacations in a way I never will. I can’t wait to share my travel guides with you.

I hope that this Substack can be home for all of these buckets of thought, a look inside my brain and my most intimate world.
