"Equality" mural in Front Street shop Wildjay

We are loving the "Equality" mural in Front Street shop Wildjay. The mural, created by 21-year-old Esmeralda Vasquez, will be up in the shop until the end of the year. Then Wildjay owner Jadira Amaya will commission another mural that represents empowerment. Go visit Jadira (“Yadi”), check out the mural, and peruse her darling clothing shop. After, hop on over to Crafted, Norms, or Gilbert Cellars for some refreshments. Or, use our Downtown Guide to find a brand-new spot you haven’t visited yet. Support local, y’all.

Simply Crafted by Jenn

Mother’s Day is this Sunday! Here’s an easy way to make the mom in your life happy: flowers. Simply Crafted by Jenn is our current flower crush. Her arrangements have the perfect mix of interesting, in-season blooms combined with the right size and affordability. And she makes ordering a snap (via Facebook messenger). You can see her designs at the upcoming Rosé and Roses this Saturday, May 11 at Crafted.  (Photo Cred: Simply Crafted by Jenn)

Crafted

Our collective love affair with Crafted runs deep. Owners Dan and Mollie Koommoo are painstakingly passionate about what they do – beautiful, delicious food, locally sourced from Yakima as often as possible. Did you know that they also sling hot dogs (most recently on their fun back patio), and have their own wine?  If you’ve always wanted to try Crafted, give them a shot during Yakima Restaurant Week (March 22-28). With small plates at great prices, it’s the perfect time to try a new eatery in our city. (Photo Cred: Crafted)

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat

In an attempt to cook more – and healthier – meals at home, I’ve turned to blogs and cookbooks. My favorite is without a doubt Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat. It’s great writing, easy to follow, and FUN. The illustrations make it even more zippy and down-to-earth. It won the James Beard award, y’all. Let’s just say I’m no Dan Koommoo or Lindsay Park, but my nightly cooking has definitely improved with Samin’s help.
