I'm a (mostly) healthy chef + Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. You can find me cooking for private events, teaching in-home cooking classes, helping clients navigate dietary restrictions and in my kitchen coming up with new recipes. And traveling whenever possible!

A few photos from the 5 course dinner I cooked Saturday night for a soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. celebrating a birthday. Not only did they never have to leave their home...they never left the kitchen island! Such a fun night of cooking, creative plating and great conversation. Restaurants are great, #privatechefs are better! Here's what we've got going on in the pictures: Thyme-roasted grape & ricotta crostini with crispy prosciutto; Cacio e pepe biscuits with cheddar & blueberry jam; Heirloom tomatoes with burrata, corn, basil & saba; 5 spice duck breast with cherry gastrique, labne, caramelized fennel, hazelnuts & pea greens; Ricotta & spinach gnudi with short rib ragu & crispy shallots; Almond cake with Florida honey pastry cream, brûlée figs & pistachio-fennel seed brittle.

They're packed with plant-based omega 3s and fiber and mix easily into baked goods like these giant chocolate chip cookies I baked for them today. Milk please? 🥛 Recipe: Beat 1 1/4 c room temperature grass-fed butter + 1 1/4 c brown sugar + 1 c granulated sugar until light & fluffy. One at a time, beat in 2 eggs+ 2 tsp vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, wisk together 2 c ap flour, 1 c ground flax seeds, 2/3 c oat flour, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1 1/4 tsp baking soda. Add dry ingredients to wet and beat until combined. Add 1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1 1/2 c milk chocolate chips. Scoop into 4 oz portions using an ice cream scoop and bake @ 375 for 15-20 minutes. Let cool on a wire wrack then dive in! 🍪 #cookies #chocolate #chocolatechipcookies #kidsbaking #kidsfood #healthyish #flaxseed #pastry #baking #snack #cleanplates #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #iin #iinhealthcoach @nutritionschool #healthcoach #privatechef #privatecheflife #mostlyhealthychef Love my Wednesday nights with these rockstars! I teach yoga every week @bridgepointdtsp 7pm, if you're in Saint Pete you should check it out!!#yoga #yogalove #bff #squadgoals #stpetersburg #bridgepointchurch #bettertogether Hurricane preparedness 101...make boozy brandied cherries, then eat the whole jar when the power goes out. It's just fruit, right? Made these a few weeks back at the peak of cherry season and am already plotting another batch. Here's how to make your own: pit 2 pounds of cherries, saving the pits and juices. In a large pot, combine 1 c granulated sugar, 1 c water + 1 scraped vanilla bean. Dissolve sugar over medium heat then bring mixture to a boil. Add cherry pits and juices and simmer for 2 minutes (getting maximum flavor from those cherries!) Remove cherry pits with a slotted spoon, then add cherries & 4 c brandy. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer to jars, covering the cherries with the brandy syrup. Then try not to eat them all at once 😏#cherries #brandy #brandiedcherries #diy #booze #tipsytreats #imbibe #craftcocktails #summer #summergoals #canning #chef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #hurricaneirma #mostlyhealthychef
