I mentioned in a previous post that I would be expanding the scope of Apartment Eats to encompass some of my other kitchen-adjacent hobbies, including gardening and foraging.

There’s a crazy Instagrammer I’ve been following lately called Black Forager (seriously, check her out), and her thing is foraging goods in a largely suburban environment.

One of my favorite drinks (next to rum and Coke or Jägermeister and Dr. Pepper) is hard lemonade. I’ve been drinking MIke’s since I was in college. I’d grab a bottle and take it outside with me whenever I had to work on my bike. Now that I’m older and I have more to do

If you liked the Mint Mocha Body Scrub from a few weeks ago, then you’re going to love this week’s recipe! A friend of mine inspired me to go check out the local flora in my new home. To my surprise (and thrill), I realized that the community was FULL of decorative lavender plants! I
