Watermelon Radish 🍉

• Very mild; a little sweet, a little peppery
• Has a great crunch & holds firm pretty well
• Great garnish for texture & to add a vibrant pop of color to any dish!

Try them either raw or lightly pickled for a tangy crunch on salads, rice bowls, sandwiches, pizzas, & more! Be sure to slice them thin (mandolins work great 😉)

👉🏼 Tip: after slicing, place watermelon radishes in ice water - not only will the cold preserve their color, but they will start to naturally curl, giving them a super cool look!

It’s important to slow down & take the time to appreciate the natural beauty of things.

Stay vibrant, my friends!

• Chocolate Olive Oil Cake • Orange Whipped Cream • Orange Miso Caramel Crunch •

This one got me prettyyy excited. I had somewhat of a wild/ fun idea in my mind, put a lot of careful thought into how to make it come to life, & this is what it turned out to be.

Is it perfect? Not one bit. Did I have way too much fun creating this? Obviously yes. Am I proud of taking an idea in my head & making it come to life? Damn right I am.

This is what I love about cooking.

…& yes, it tastes as good as it looks 😏

Stay hungry y’all 🧡

Let this be your reminder to enjoy the simple things, today & every day.

Bringin’ it back to the yester-years with this one, bc who doesn’t love PopTarts?

Remember that Plum & Citrus Jam? She was used for the filling here.

The glaze? Citrus, vanilla, & a little Luxardo cherry juice for the win.

And of course, sprinkles, bc sprinkles just make everything more fun, more colorful and just better.

My millennial soul has been craving a PopTart, so I just did the damn thing & decided to have some fun with it.

What are some of your favorite PopTart flavors? Drop ‘em in the comments, & maybe I’ll make it come to life for you 😉

Here’s to embracing the simple things that make you happy & feel like a kid again 🌈🌼

Much love to you all 🩵

Sunday Funday at its finest ☀️

Smoked some pork spare ribs, because why not? It was a beautiful day, & smoking/BBQ are some of my favorite things, so we decided to kick it 🔥

Ribs were rubbed with ‘s Hot Honey Seasoning Blend (Highly recommend!!) 🌶️ 🍯

Smoked for about 6 hours with local sugar maple from 🪵 🍁

Finished with a light coating of homemade Sweet Heat Citrus BBQ Sauce 🍊🌶️

Charred up some romaine & lemons for a little grilled Caesar action on the side 🥬🍋🧀

Ice cold Watermelon Refresher bevy’s were provided by my amazing wife - fresh watermelon juice, lime, & rum…or tequila in my case 😋 🍉🍹

For this being the first time smoking ribs, I would consider it a success, & definitely won’t be the last time! Achieved a beautiful smoke ring, fall off the bone meat, nice bark, what more could you ask for? Well, probably just more napkins…

What I loved most about this particular smoke wasn’t the result (even tho I was suuuuper happy with it). Instead, it was in doing something unknown to me, & taking the time to learn & be intentional with what I was doing, all while being able to slow down, relax, & enjoy the process along with the beauty of the outdoors around me.

Some of the best things in life take time, so we might as well slow down & enjoy the wait 🌸🌼🌻

What’s next? Who knows! But until then, much love! 🤍💫
