They’re baaaaaaack!

You know those gorgeous rose gold envelope bags that Joji + Co created for us last spring, and that sold out in less than an hour? They made a new order for us!

These all-purpose bags work equally well as a project bag, a handbag or both! They come with a detachable strap so you can use them as a clutch, as well.

And because they sold out so quickly the first time, we asked Joji + team please pretty please with sugar on top, would they consider making a notions pouch to go with the bag?

And YES! They said YESSSS!

These bags are handmade in Argentina by a woman-owned company (Joji’s good friend) and they are very limited edition. Jussayin… if they’re calling to you, you know what to do.

If you’re a rose gold lover (like me, obvs) then you might also love this pretty little collection we’ve put together for you.

It includes a Birdie Parker valet tray, leatherette tape measure and shimmery rose gold Loops Luxe yarn, all at a special price. A great way to upgrade your “everyday” yarnie experiences. 💖

Grilled Corn with Green Chile Honey Butter

Being in love with a guy who grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska, I’ve learned a lot about corn over the past year 😅”Hot Luke” swears, in his teenage years, he used to be able to eat 10 or more cobs at a single sitting! And the first time I tasted his signature corn on the cob, basted in Miracle Whip, with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning, I understood why. Yummmmmmmm. But if the Miracle Whip thing sounds a little freaky to you, I suggest tiptoeing into it with this recipe from Half-Baked Harvest. It’ll open new corny doors for you, I promise. 😆

Ingredients

  • 6 ears corn
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 4.5 ounce can Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles, drained
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
Instructions
  1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
  2. Pull the outer husks of the corn down to the base and strip away the silk. Fold husks back into place to cover the kernels.
  3. Grill for about 5 minutes on each “side” – rotating corn 4-5 times. Once the corn is finished, remove the husk and place back on the grill until lightly charred, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, add the butter, chopped green chiles, chipotle pepper in adobo, cilantro, honey, cumin, and a large pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined.
  5. Spread the butter over the warm corn. Serve with salt, cilantro, and limes. Eat!
