So I received this book for Christmas… Simple, E

So I received this book for Christmas… Simple, Effortless Food, Big Flavors (by @dianahenryfood )… and I seriously can’t put it down ❤️! Tonight we had the sweet potatoes with chorizo and mushrooms and I am so in love. I’ve never dog eared more pages in a cookbook than this one:.. buy it, cook from it, love it… and make the sweet potato recipe 🤗#dianahenryfood #chorizo #breathingandcooking

On Christmas morning I want to hang out with my pe

On Christmas morning I want to hang out with my people in comfy jammies, sipping a cup of coffee and soaking up as much family time as possible. I want time to take it all in. Count my blessings. Relax and just BE in the moment.
Can you relate?
Of course all of those blessings need to be fed! And, being the holidays, you want to serve something special. So, while most of the time I savor my kitchen therapy, I tend to feel a little differently about it on the holidays. I’m more interested in being present with my family and friends than being in another room focused on putting a meal together. That’s why I love all things that can be done ahead of time! And this breakfast strata is the perfect make-ahead breakfast!
I just posted it on the blog, so check it out if your breakfast plans are still up in the air and give yourself the gift of being present this year ❤️ #christmasmorningbreakfast #strata #breakfastcasserole #makeaheadbreakfast #breathingandcooking

Have you decided on your Christmas dinner menu? Le

Have you decided on your Christmas dinner menu? Let me suggest you give this super flavorful, juicy, crispy-herb-crusted pork rib roast a place at your table this year. It takes 15 minutes to prep and you can have it oven-ready 3 days ahead. You know what that means? You get to relax and enjoy all of the moments you might miss if you’re busy worrying about getting dinner ready… it’s a beautiful thing (and SO delicious!!!!). I buy the best heritage pork @ohiocityprovisions … check out my blog to find out what makes heritage pork so much better!

There was just something so happy about this lemon

There was just something so happy about this lemon meringue cheesecake that I kind of didn’t want to say “goodbye” when it found its forever home tonight ❤️#lemoncheesecake #lemonmeringue #lemondessert #breathingandcooking

Food that’s fresh, beautiful, versatile AND 100%

Food that’s fresh, beautiful, versatile AND 100% delicious is my kind of food 🤗… I made this smoky carrot dip 🥕from @culinaryvegetableinstitute a few days ago to serve with veggie dippers and toasted pita and fell in love with the flavors! This afternoon for lunch I spread a nice thick layer on a slice of toasted sourdough, topped with thin prosciutto, crumbled goat cheese and @farmerjonesfarm micro greens- WOW!!! The salt from the prosciutto and the tang of the goat cheese were such a beautiful compliment to the sweet-smoky dip 😍 THIS is a combo that I’ll be making again and again! I’m thinking it would be a great little appetizer on toasted crostini’s for the holidays, don’t you think? You can find the carrot dip recipe at farmerjonesfarm.com and while you’re there check out how you can have the most delicious, nutrient dense vegetables in the world delivered to your door #carrotdip #holidayappetizers #microgreens #chefsgarden #beautifulfood #breathingandcooking

This is my favorite kind of breakfast 😍 … loc

This is my favorite kind of breakfast 😍 … local, quality, delicious ingredients from my favorite food producers. @valleycityacres eggs have beautiful, thick whites and the most golden, creamy yolks (no filter required for that color!!) 🍳…wherever you are I highly recommend searching out quality eggs because they make such a difference! I nestled them into a bed of beet greens, spinach 🥬and bell peppers from @farmerjonesfarm along with kimchee from @clevelandkitchen and just enough pancetta to satisfy my bacon craving 🥓. Now I’m ready to take on the day 🌞…a little reading, a little writing and a little kitchen therapy later this afternoon. What’s on your Sunday agenda? #eggsofinstagram #kimchieggs #beetgreens #farmerleejones #chefsgarden #eattherainbow #breathingandcooking

This is some weeknight cooking-improv I’ll be recreating soon so I can tweak the details for a written recipe. I haven’t had Cornish hens in years but they were convincingly calling my name at the market the other day- and nestling them into my basket just seemed like the right thing to do. When I got home I rubbed them down with salt, fresh herbs, lemon zest, garlic and some smoky paprika and let that flavor soak in while I poked around my pantry and produce drawers for the rest of dinner. I settled on a warm salad-sauté-mix of crispy pancetta, wild rice, sliced Brussels sprouts, spinach, water chestnuts, dried cherries and toasty pecans drizzled with some leftover vinaigrette at the very end. SO good! And the bonus? Leftover veggies are my favorite kind of lunch…especially when they’re topped with an oozy yolked fried egg 😍 #cookingwithoutrecipes #cornishhen #vegetableleftoverswitheggs #brusselsprouts #breathingandcooking

I know, I know 🤷‍♀️… I’ve been preach

I know, I know 🤷‍♀️… I’ve been preaching to my kids for years “Don’t buy yourself things right before Christmas” but this weekend I couldn’t stop myself from adding this book to my Amazon cart. When it arrived yesterday, with another book and a produce keeper that really IS going to make our lives better, Eric just shook his head (I love that man 🤦‍♂️). So this morning I made myself a cup of coffee and started reading… 🥰 and I do believe this may well already be my new favorite book 📖☕️M. F. K. Fisher, The Art of Eating ❤️- the words I’ll be meditating on today as I work in the kitchen “to eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art” ❤️ It speaks directly to what I’ve been thinking about so much over the last year, and to where I want to focus my energy in the new year ahead. Anyone else feeling inspired this morning? #breathingandcooking #morningthoughts #theartofeating

Anyone else prepping for the Yellowstone 🤠 seas

Anyone else prepping for the Yellowstone 🤠 season premier tonight???? @emercuri and I will be sharing this gorgeous 32 oz ribeye from @ohiocityprovisions (rubbed down last night with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, cracked pepper and red boat salt) 🥃sipping bourbon (ok, wine 🍷for me but bourbon just sounds so cool) and watching with two of our favorite people @tony_mercuri51 and @smercuri107… 🤗 I can’t wait! #yellowstonetv #ohiocityprovisions #breathingandcooking #ribeye #redboatsalt #beef

Kimchee scrambled eggs are one of my favorite breakfasts and this morning I made them with a simple purple sweet potato hash using some of my farmstand haul from yesterday. Thank you @farmerleejones for making such delicious, unique and gorgeous produce available! #purplesweetpotato #kimcheeeggs #kimchee #thechefsgarden #nutrientdense #breathingandcooking

I think I’ll call this “All Things in Moderation” 😍 this is that magical time of year in the Midwest when we feel like our gardens should be done providing because we see more clouds than sun and layers have become the norm when deciding what to wear for the day…but really it’s the best time of year for fresh produce! The last of the summer tomatoes and green beans are mingling with gorgeous cauliflower and Brussels sprouts and winter squash… ahhhhhh 😍 and you can’t forget about my favorite creme brûlée sweet potatoes!!! I’m a fall girl through and through!! For me it’s not all about pumpkin spice 🎃…it’s about THIS!! I took a little drive with my friend @jean.birtmcmillen.9 to @farmerjonesfarm and brought home the most gorgeous, flavorful vegetables you can find anywhere. And who was I to say no to one of their still warm homemade 🥕#carrotfritters??? I was planning to share with Eric but it barely survived the drive home 🤤 DELICIOUS!! If you don’t live close by check them out because they deliver! Thank you @farmerleejones for the great conversation and for suggesting that fritter! #allthingsinmoderation #freshoriginsmicrogreens #realfood #brusselsprouts #wintersquash #farmstand #fritters #farmerleejones #chefsgarden #breathingandcooking
