Late lunch of leftovers. I had some tri-color tortellini truffle mac & cheese so I turned it into a soup (because have you been outside today?🥶) with big chunks of mushroom, purple sage and chili flake with a truffle oil drizzle. A perfect match with that was thin crust white spinach pizza with mozzarella, ricotta, and mascarpone and a chipotle Cholula drizzle.

Lunchtime! I whipped up a batch of lentil and black bean salad with radishes, cherry tomatoes, green onion, sharp cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, and a creamy avocado dressing to go with my homemade 16 bean soup and artisan bread!

This is some real cuisine right here! I am a big fan of untraditional breakfasts: breakfast salads with eggplant bacon and hardboiled eggs, curried egg breakfast bowls with potatoes and peas, and my new favorite...breakfast lasagna! It's made with zucchini noodles so it's naturally gluten free and vegetarian. There was some dancing and giggling during this photo shoot...that's when you just know it's going to be fabulous!

...and this is the magic that happened! Piccata made from chicken of the woods mushrooms served with hearts of palm angel hair pasta. Naturally gluten free, high protein, low carb, vegan, AND delicious...yeah, magic🪄

Last nights dinner of mussels and veggies. When I make seafood at home I simmer a pot of rosemary, mint, and grapefruit rind to purify the air and leave a beautiful herbal citrus smell in the kitchen🪴🍊
