Welcome to Episode 2 of With Love & Butter, a chef’s podcast on dating & relationships and the food & drinks that get us through it.

Today we’re talking about the dating phenomenon of “simping” and why I love it so much. I have come to think of myself as a wholesome hoochie. I curate so much of my life with a heavy sensual touch. It’s in my playlists, in my cooking, in my home spaces, color choices, outfits, the florals that are always in my home. Friends who have been to my home can speak to this.

So naturally, even before there was the public journey of #CourtingCourtnee was the impulse known as being #CaredforbyCourtnee. I’m an OG Lover Girl. This is my story *cue Law & Order SVU theme song*.
