Социальные сети / Jennifer Garner

Tomorrow is day one of the 30-day New Year’s Journaling Project, and to kick things off, I had the joy of sitting down at home with Jennifer Garner (who I affectionately think of as America’s Best Friend—a title she did not ask for).
For Jen, journaling shows up when things are hard—when she needs a place to put what she’s carrying. But, as she says, the page doesn’t do the work for you. You do.
“I think those first several journals are me just putting it all out there—this heartbreak and sadness. The beauty of it is that’s not where I go anymore. The beauty is seeing what you keep repeating, and eventually you can’t help but ask: how can I shift this for myself?”
That feeling—of noticing a pattern and gently asking what comes next, of letting our journal pages become whatever they need to be, prayer or rant—is exactly what we’re practicing together this month.
You can watch our full conversation at the link in my bio, and you’re very welcome to join us. 🤍This conversation is part of The Journaler’s Routine, my ongoing interview series with Random House.

#PretendCookingShow: Roasted Fennel and Farro Salad. I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the hunt for a new side dish to accompany all the traditional Thanksgiving staples. I’m on the hunt for something seasonal, flavorful, but 🌟 EASY🌟 . This checks all of those boxes, and is made easy with my @kitchenaidusa Grain & Rice Cooker. The farro is handled, and all I have to worry about are the veggies. A no-brainer addition to the holiday table. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂.Roasted Fennel and Farro Salad by BODiIngredients:
- 1 cup dry farro (or wheat berries)
- 2 large fennel bulbs, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium orange bell pepper, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted, coarsely chopped (I omit! 🙅🏻‍♀️)
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- 3 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme.Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400° F.2. If toasting your farro, put in a dry pan on medium heat until it smells nutty and is slightly browned. Add to the bowl of your KitchenAid® Grain and Rice Cooker and let the lovely machine do its job! It cooks it to perfection.3. While farro is cooking, combine fennel, bell peppers, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Place on a baking sheet (or roasting pan) in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender.4. Add vegetables, olives, pomegranate, vinegar, and thyme to farro; toss gently to blend.5. Yum.
