It’s all about that garnish and fall themes are my favorite🧡Fuyu persimmon, goose berries, anjou pear, root veggie chips & sprigs of sage. And don’t forget the hot honey😍 Now booking holiday parties, DM me while I still have a few open dates✨ #howiholiday #holidayparty #privatechef #chef #cheeseboard #cheese #goopmake #privatecheflife #appetizers @mikeshothoney #dinnerparty #entertaining #fallfood #foodgrams #instagood #instafood #privatecheflife #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #food #foodphotography #cheflife #keepsaintpetelocal #stpeteeats #stpetersburgflorida #tampabay #tampaeats #tampachefs #mostlyhealthychef

All about persimmons today🧡 Slicing them length-wise reveals the pretty starburst pattern in the center. Here they’re garnishing another of my fall favorites...Indian pumpkin pudding from @nytimes topped with homemade almond milk & toasted pecans. Not even going to try and pretend I eat anything half this pretty or delicious on a regular basis. But when I do? Damn it feels good✨#persimmon #fuyu #fall #fallfood #fruit #farmersmarket #floridagrown #chef #cheflife #food #goodfood #eatyourfruits #sweets #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #breakfast #breakfastideas #breakfastgoals #pumpkin #eattheseasons #eattherainbow #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthyeating #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

Persimmon season is short and sweet...quite literally...and I get my fix while I can!! Fuyu persimmons are my fave, they’re sweet and crunchy and meant to be eaten while they’re firm. Hachiya persimmons are soft and sweet, not my favorite texture but still look pretty on a cheese board or holiday spread. I’ve been eating them with Greek yogurt and pumpkin pecan granola (recipe on my blog) and in salads with radicchio & goat cheese. I’d seen them growing in Italy, Asia & California, but only when I moved to Florida did I find out they grow here too! Get em while they last✨#persimmon #fuyu #fall #fallfood #fruit #farmersmarket #floridagrown #chef #cheflife #food #goodfood #eatyourfruits #eattheseasons #eattherainbow #cleaneating #healthyfood #healthyeating #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

I like to bake my pumpkin bread in paper loaf pans, keep one and give the rest away✨These are paleo loaves with chunks of apples and toasted pecans. Recipe is on my blog along with a recipe for the best classic pumpkin bread you will ever have (see previous post). Happy baking, lovelies!! #pumpkinbread #fallbaking #thanksgiving #baking #breakfast #pumpkinspice #feedfeedbaking #paleo #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #feedfeedglutenfree @thefeedfeed.glutenfree #paleorecipes #paleopumpkinbread #paleobaking @thefeedfeed.baking #chef #cheflife #food #foodphotography #foodblog #foodwriting #recipe #sweets #mostlyhealthychef

Every other pumpkin bread I’ve ever tried just plain falls short of the perfection that is my Auntie Linda’s pumpkin bread. It is incredibly moist but with a slight chewiness, and the sweetness is tempered by an intense pumpkin flavor and perfect blend of spice. This bread has spent 3 weeks in a box en route to the Philippines when I spent a Thanksgiving there, got me locked inside of my castle cum culinary school while trying to bake it for classmates in Italy, and convinced a table of harsh Italian critics that pumpkin can indeed be transformed into an uber delicious cake. Recipe is on my blog along with the full stories I mentioned above. And trust me, make this once and you’ll see the lengths you’ll go to to have it again✨ #pumpkinbread #fallbaking #thanksgiving #baking #breakfast #pumpkinspice #feedfeedbaking @thefeedfeed.baking #chef #cheflife #food #foodphotography #foodblog #foodwriting #recipe #sweets #mostlyhealthychef

It’s a great weekend for some fall baking!
