Wedge salad for the win😍 Crunchy iceberg topped with homemade ranch, blue cheese, tomatoes, chives & crispy prosciutto. I love this as a light lunch or dinner side…and if you’re entertaining, leave all the toppings separate for an interactive DIY spread✨ #chef #cheflife #salad #summerfood #eatyourveggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #recipe #food #thekitchn #entertaining #food52grams #cooking #foodphotography #goodeats #foodstagram #foodie #chef #cheflife #cleaneating #buzzfeedfood #goodeats #farmersmarket #chefsofinstagram #eatlocal #eatlocalgrown #farmtotable #eatrealfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

15 Minute Bruschetta Chicken😍

Look at these beauties! More than a dozen heirloom varieties @redfirefarm and while I love a good caprese (see my last posts) stay tuned for a few ways to make use of these beauties🌟 #chef #cheflife #summerfood #eatyourveggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #recipe #food #thekitchn #food52grams #cooking #foodphotography #goodeats #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #chef #cheflife #cleaneating #buzzfeedfood #thekitchn #goodeats #farmersmarket #chefsofinstagram #eatlocal #eatlocalgrown #farmtotable #eatrealfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

The perk of having to travel all over the place for doctors appointments is that some of them have been in some of my favorite food cities, and I most recently found myself post-appointment in Cambridge at my all time favorite gem of a spot, @sofrabakery 🤩 Brought home their granola, full of sesame & flax seeds, dates & date molasses and warm spiced almonds. So good with local Greek yogurt, a drizzle of summer wildflower honey, peaches, berries and mint from the yard. And a slice of my keto almond poppyseed bread, because balance…Recipe below🌟

Every once in a while I get a burst of willpower that squashes my symptoms long enough for me to create a little something (no pun intended.) It’s either driven by the insanely gorgeous produce that is everywhere right now, being around my family whom I love to cook for more than anything, or a little bit of both😍 I finally got to see my cousin @bethyrog9 after a few years apart, and meet her adorable kiddos! And make a little lunch spread including a caprese with @redfirefarm heirloom tomatoes, local peaches, @maplebrookfarm fresh mozzarella, basil, @mikeshothoney evoo & red clay salt. Simple summer salad goodness✨ #chef #cheflife #summerfood #caprese #capresesalad #eatyourveggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #food #thekitchn #food52grams #cooking #foodphotography #goodeats #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #chef #cheflife #cleaneating #buzzfeedfood #thekitchn #goodeats #farmersmarket #chefsofinstagram #eatlocal #eatlocalgrown #farmtotable #eatrealfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef

Hey there👋 it’s been a while! Almost 3 months since my life was uprooted and I came to Massachusetts to see doctors and wait for surgery. I have craniocervical instability, where the ligaments in my neck (and rest of my body, due to #ehlersdanlossyndrome ) are weak, which is making my skull shift off of my spine and compressing my brain stem. Most days just standing up makes me dizzy, my heart race, my head pound and my neck hurt. My hands often tremble too much to hold my knife and my brain is too foggy to have control over how to use it. But to say I miss cooking is an understatement!! I do what I can, when I can, and often that involves prepping veggies with a pairing knife while laying on the couch…it brings the term “couch potato” to a whole new level…who knows, maybe I’ll turn it into a cooking show when this is all over🤣 I’ve been trying to do justice to the bounty of gorgeous of local produce, and this dinner has been a mainstay…zucchini & summer squash roasted with evoo, zata’ar, fresh marjoram I found growing in my mom’s garden, S&P…roasted until deeply caramelized, then tossed with feta, pine nuts & basil, served with @ansonmills creamy polenta. Sometimes in its plain, corny goodness, sometimes cacio e pepe style. The other night I was feeling frisky and flash roasted sweet corn and added that into the mix. If there was ever a time to truly embrace “simple is best” this has been the summer for it…beautiful local produce (that’s easy to prep while supine) speaks for itself🌟 #chef #cheflife #summerfood #eds #eatyourveggies #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #recipe #food #thekitchn #food52grams #cooking #foodphotography #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #chef #cheflife #cleaneating #buzzfeedfood #thekitchn #farmersmarket #chefsofinstagram #eatlocal #eatlocalgrown #farmtotable #eatrealfood #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #wellness #privatechef #mostlyhealthychef
