Garden tomatoes → something I’ll be putting on everything. 🍅

I gave these cherry tomatoes a warm, slightly spicy twist with harissa seasoning. Roasting them low and slow-ish lets the tomatoes burst and mingle with the garlic, spices and olive oil, leaving you with plenty of that ridiculously flavorful oil at the bottom of the pan. Do not waste that oil!

Harissa Roasted Cherry Tomatoes:
🍅 Cherry tomatoes
🫒 Olive oil
🧄 Minced garlic
🌶️ Harissa seasoning
🧂 Salt + black pepper

Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and minced garlic to a baking dish, then sprinkle in the harissa seasoning. Add the cherry tomatoes and toss until they’re well coated in all that seasoned oil. Finish with salt and pepper.

Roast at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, blistered and beginning to burst.

And that’s it. Simple ingredients, BIG flavor.

These are perfect tossed with pasta, spooned over toasted bread, served alongside eggs, added to grain bowls, or smashed into a quick sauce. And that harissa-tomato oil left in the pan? Toss it with pasta, whisk it into a vinaigrette, or mop it up with a good piece of bread. 🥖 🍝 🥗 🤌🏾

I love finding new ways to use the cherry tomatoes coming out of my garden, especially when the recipe is this easy.

Save this one for the last big haul of tomato season! 🍅🌿

I love letting my boys get involved in the kitchen, even when it means breakfast takes a little longer (and I have to resist the urge to say “let me do it” approximately 47 times 😂).

Something as simple as making scrambled eggs gives kids a chance to practice patience, independence, focus, personal choice and good habits. They’re learning how food comes together, getting comfortable in the kitchen and building confidence one little task at a time.

It doesn’t have to be a complicated recipe to be a cooking lesson. Sometimes it’s just eggs on a weekend morning. 🍳

And yes, we wash those hands before, during and after cooking. 🧼 It’s never too early to talk about food safety.

☕️ If Lexington seemed a little more energized today, the Cold Brew Coffee Festival might have had something to do with it. 😂⚡️

Today was my third time judging the Cold Brew Festival at the Lexington Farmers' Market , and it’s become an event I look forward to every year!

This year, we sampled 20+ coffees across two categories: classic cold brew and mocktail coffee. And yes, judging that much coffee requires commitment, strategy, and apparently a very high caffeine tolerance. ☕️😅

One of my favorite parts of this event is getting to experience just how much creativity and talent exists in Lexington’s coffee community. We have SO many amazing local roasters and coffee shops in our area, and I love seeing what they bring to the table each year. 💙

Head over to Cold Brew Coffee Festival to see the final results, including the People’s Choice finalists!

And seriously, do yourself a favor and check out these local roasters and shops. There’s a whole lot of good coffee being made right here in our community. ☕️👏

📚💙 As someone who grew up loving Matilda, getting to experience this production from the inside out felt like stepping into one of my favorite stories.

🎭 I had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with The Lexington Theatre Company and see firsthand what it takes to bring a Broadway-caliber production to life. From learning about the rehearsal process to seeing the incredible craftsmanship behind food props like Bruce’s infamous chocolate cake, every detail made me appreciate the artistry even more.

🥞✨ I was also honored to contribute a small piece of the experience by creating my own Matilda-inspired treats for the Sip & See rehearsal: Reading Fuel snack mix and mini pancake bites with lavender honey compound butter. As someone who loves telling stories through food, it was such a fun way to celebrate a story that’s meant so much to me.

🎶 Seeing everything come together at dress rehearsal was pure magic. The talent, heart, and creativity on that stage are remarkable, and it’s easy to see why The Lexington Theatre Company continues to produce shows that rival Broadway while showcasing incredible local talent.

💛 “Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty!” Join The Lexington Theatre Company for this story about resilience, finding family, and knowing the right time to stand up for what you believe in.

Matilda Wormwood, an exceptional young girl in a peculiar family, faces her first year of school at Crunchem Hall with the terrifying Miss Trunchbull. Based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl, with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin, this Tony Award-winning musical is perfect for the whole family.

🎟️ Don’t miss the chance to experience the magic for yourself!

There’s something extra special about sharing a meal that’s rooted in home.
❤️ 🇺🇸This Fourth of July pasta salad came together with carrots, peppers, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil from my garden, all turned into something delicious by my mom. Summer at its best! 🌱☀️

Round two of birthday golf and I’m still riding the high ⛳️✨

Our morning at was everything you hope for and more. The breakfast was so good, the staff made us feel right at home, and we got paired with the kindest member who made the whole round even better.

Feeling extra lucky this year… and already planning our next tee time here 💛

Also, Christian officially joined the fan club and bought a Riv hat to rep 🧢

Christian treated me to a golf outing at the LPGA International in Daytona, FL and it was easily one of the coolest experiences ever. ⛳️✨

I’ve spent the past couple of years really working at learning the game, and somewhere along the way I got completely hooked. Grateful for the rounds, the progress, and getting to play courses like this one with my husband along the way. 🫶🏾

A quick little drive to and suddenly I’m leaving with an armful of flowers and big planter inspiration 🌸🪴 I was looking for colorful blooms to refresh my planters for the season and found so many beautiful options there. Honestly one of my favorite ways to spend a spring afternoon in Kentucky.

If you’re nearby and itching to get your porch or patio planted, this spot is worth the drive down the road 💐
