Loved tonight’s cooking class highlighting seasonal produce at its peak! Fresh Florida corn & basil risotto, seared chicken, roasted zucchini + yellow squash & basil pesto. Then a simple fresh Georgia peach with vanilla whipped cream & crushed amaretti cookies. Lovely group of ladies and the most delicious dinner! #privatechef #cookingclass #chef #cheflife #summer #summerfood #food #instafood #summermenu #eatlocallygrown #farmfresh #farmersmarket #glutenfree #risotto #italianfood #dinner #dinnergoals #mostlyhealthychef
You probably already have everything you need to assemble this blueberry cinnamon baked oatmeal tonight and then bake it for breakfast tomorrow🤩This makes a giant batch, perfect to eat all week or to feed hungry teenage boys like I did🙋‍♀️ I was making this late at night and realized I had no regular oats but had quick- cooking ones and they worked fine! Use whatever milk you’d like and swap a different fruit you have on hand✨ Recipe: 1 dozen eggs, 5 c milk of choice, 1/2 c maple syrup or brown sugar, 8 TBSP melted grass-fed butter, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 6 c regular or quick-cooking oats, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp sea salt & 2 pints blueberries (fresh or frozen are fine). Grease a 15” x 10” baking dish with butter. Whisk your eggs in a large bowl then add the other wet ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients and half of the blueberries. Pour it all into the pan then sprinkle the remaining blues over the top. Leave in your fridge overnight, then in the morning put it on the counter while you preheat your oven to 325. Bake for 45 minutes and serve with additional maple syrup✨ @crownmaple @littlebluedynamos #chef #cheflife #breakfast #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendbreakfast #oatmeal #bakedoatmeal #blueberries #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #breakfastideas #maplesyrup #iin #iinhealthcoach #feedfeedglutenfree @thefeedfeed.glutenfree #mostlyhealthychef
Did a little cooking today! #traderjoes cauliflower gnocchi with chicken, broccoli rabe, garlic, lemon & romano; maple-chipotle glazed salmon & roasted broccoli, green beans, carrots & shallots; grilled chicken tenders with sweet corn, grilled zucchini, Georgia peach, bocconcini & basil salad; grilled garlic-herb shrimp skewers; lentil salad with roasted zucchini, snap peas, sheep milk feta, basil, pine nuts & lemon vinaigrette; herb-crusted salmon; seared filet mignon with mustard-soy sauce. 4 hours and this little family has food for the week✨ #privatechef #mealprep #cleaneating #eatyourveggies #wellness #health #healthyfood #healthyeating #chef #cheflife #mealprepideas #lowcarb #glutenfree #iin #iinhealthcoach #mondaymotivation #realfood #dinner #dinnergoals #lunch #lunchbox #todayfood #instafood #foodphotography #food #salad #mostlyhealthychef
Seven ingredients + One pan gets you this crispy chicken & green beans with ginger, garlic & sesame🤩 Cut 4 chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with salt and then toss with enough cornstarch to lightly coat. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat and add toasted sesame oil. Place chicken in pan in a single layer with space in between each piece...work in batches if needed, don’t overcrowd it! Cook chicken until golden, then flip and cook through. Remove chicken from the pan, then add green beans cut into bite-sized pieces and more sesame oil if needed. Sauté until just beginning to soften. Reduce heat to medium-low and add 2 TBSP each crushed garlic and ginger (I like to use my micro plane to finely grate the ginger). Sauté for a minute until fragrant, then add 1/3 cup of reduced sodium tamari & add your chicken back to the pan. Toss everything all together...the cornstarch on the chicken slightly thickens the sauce so that all the garlicky-gingery bits coat each morsel✨ #privatechef #mealprep #mealprepmondays #cleaneating #eatyourveggies #wellness #health #healthyfood #healthyeating #chef #cheflife #mealprepideas #lowcarb #keto #glutenfree #iin #iinhealthcoach #mondaymotivation #realfood #dinner #dinnergoals #instafood #foodphotography #food #chicken #betterthantakeout #mostlyhealthychef
Sometimes #selfcaresundays mean letting myself rest and not doing a thing. I thought that’s what I needed today, but one small project led to another, and pretty soon I had revised my annual budget, re-hung a towel holder, scraped away all the old caulking from my shower (highly therapeutic btw) and re-caulked the whole thing, changed my air filters, did a bunch of laundry, trimmed my palms, bougainvillea & myrtles, swept my patio, pulled up a bunch of dead bushes and weeds, made my menus and shopping lists for work tomorrow, and ordered new guest towels and outdoor pillows. Then I did some yoga and took a bath with epsom salts and peppermint essential oils. Maybe I didn’t rest as much as I needed to, but I feel so good to have gotten so many things checked off my to-do list. Moral of the story...Sometimes #selfcare = #gettingshitdone ✨ #iinhealthcoach #selfcaretime #wellness #sunday #bath #iin #bathroomdesign #chanel @dominomag #bathroomdecor #homedecor #sundayvibes #weekend #weekendvibes #amosthealthyyou #mostlyhealthychef
