They are my favorite way to explore new things. I love to learn, and I tend to learn through podcasts. If I’m making guacamole, I’m using, like, 10 avocados. On any given day I probably have 12 on the counter and 12 in the fridge. I live next door to my parents, and during the holidays all of my siblings are here, so the amount of avocados we go through is insane. Tieghan Gerard: A really good olive oil, dry pastas and rice, cheese, and avocados. (And don’t worry, not everything includes avocado.) You might not know Tieghan Gerard by name, but if you’ve spent any time on Instagram, you’ve certainly seen the colorful swirls of pasta or decadent chocolate confections she creates and photographs on the account, which is followed by 4 million people and counting. Her recipes also got my family through the pandemic. So it’s no surprise that Half Baked Harvest, the recipe brand created by Tieghan Gerard in 2012, got me through the pandemic. “Whenever I cook, at least one family member will ask me, ‘Are you going to put avocado on that?’” she tells Glamour with a laugh.Īs someone who wears a Susan Alexandra avocado necklace everyday, I can relate. Favorite weeknight meal? Tacos…topped with avocado, of course.

Go-to midday snack? Avocado toast with sea salt, lemon, and chili flakes. If there’s one thing you should know about Half Baked Harvest’s Tieghan Gerard, it’s that she loves avocados.
