I ate like any other child growing up until my uncle Greg introduced my family to fine dining and enjoying simple, beautiful foods, and my experience and appreciation of good food was never the same. Spending time in France also showed me how simple and lovely good dining can be, and my whole perspective now revolves around that model. The perfect addition to your menu is of course friends and family to share it with. And maybe the perfect weather and outdoor space to enjoy it. How fitting that I get to enjoy some of my uncles 35 year old $700 bottle of wine and get to celebrate his life this weekend #WA #mastersommelier #dineoutside #dinner #homemade #eatwithfriends #frenchstyledining @taylorshellfish you never fail to deliver. Nothing is quite as amazing and nostalgic as spending an evening on the bay in my hometown eating fresh Dungeness crab with family and friends. I grew up here, and I never tire of it. #wa #hometovisit #dungenesscrab #taylorshellfish #seafood Being discouraged can make one want to give up entirely. That’s been me lately. Over the last 6 months I’ve had multiple blood tests, found out I was incredibly deficient in several key nutrients, and sensitive to foods I thought were my friend (oh… you know, like garlic and zucchini, chocolate, turmeric, and a host of others). I can’t eat out anymore, and have had to rethink my favorite recipes. Discouraged doesn’t begin to cover it. But it’s where I am and I am learning how to take care of myself all over again. It’s a never ending journey. But is it worth it? Food with friends 💕💕💕💕 Cooking for people has become a great joy in my life, just knowing that something I enjoy brings enjoyment to others is such a gift. I like cooking, others like eating. Throw in good conversation, it’s a winning combo. That’s what my house is meant for… bringing glory to God through food and friendships. Great food and gospel glories Believe me when I tell you this is so easy to make and you should not be intimidated by the idea of making pretty, and freaking tasty food. It’s not expensive, either! I’d rather eat this than go to a 5 star restaurant. Carrying on the Bradley Faley dinner tradition and enjoying every moment of it. Savor every moment with your friends. Create delicious, simple meals together. Get your nice wine glasses out and make the meal special. You don’t have to go out to a fancy restaurant to have an incredible dining experience. Grab a friend (or two or ten) and set out to enjoy the whole process together!! Create memories and cheers to what is good and the good that is to come! There is so much to be thankful for, take a moment and relive the joy and remember the Lord’s faithfulness through the hard times, and marvel at what he is doing, because he is always working for his glory and our good. Exciting things going on! Like this delicious food in my NEW HOUSE. That’s right. I bought a house. Ever heard of it? (Ignore my stupid humor) BEHOLD. The most DELICIOUS KETO ALLERGY FRIENDLY avocado toast. UM for real. And did I say it’s allergy friendly?? Gluten free and rice free AND EGG FREE. And vegan! And did I mention it was KETO?? YEP. and that it tastes good? OH YEAH. Recipe from SweetAsHoney.com. The recipe took a bit of practicing with to get it good, it usually needs to bake longer than the recipe says. And it’s a bit expensive to get all the ingredients needed, but it’s overall really simple and gives you a delicious artisan style loaf! LOAD it with butter and pile it high with avocados and you got yourself one doozy of a snack or breakfast. SO good I have to keep myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. #keto #eggfree #vegan #ketobread #ketoavocadotoast #eggfreebread #veganbread #allergyfriendlybread #allergyfriendly I’ve had a lot going on lately, some pretty great things that I’ll share soon. I’ve also been taking a bit of a break with posting since my mind has been preoccupied. I’m still here though! And here is a beautiful, easy lunch idea. Who doesn’t love taco wraps? Cooked the meat in butter and duck fat for a full, rich flavor. No dry taco meat here! Hot sauce, cayenne, paprika. Mmmm. The cherry tomatoes give a sweet, cool contrast in flavor. Eating well can be daunting, so think small steps. Celebrate the little victories and remember to give yourself grace! Real change takes time, and we’re all going through different health journeys that will be challenging and discouraging, but don’t give up. #ChallengeYourself #DontGiveUp #DailyNoms #EasyLunch #RealFood #FNTP #FindHealingThroughFood #StartToday #Paleo #Keto
