Because you’re probably looking at these and thinking “I don’t have much fresh produce AMANDA.” 🙁 Truth is I don’t either. And that’s okay. ⁣It’s the base of this recipe that truly makes it, and the toppings can be ultra versatile. Even just an egg and sesame oil, hot sauce. It’s downright comforting.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I actually photographed these rice bowls a whole year ago when I made them for @snixykitchen @the_bojon_gourmet @emmakmorris @naturallyella, when we didn’t think twice about being able to go to the grocery store and get colorful food. Hence the purple radishes, spinach, sauteed mushrooms, coconut bacon, and cilantro oil. ⠀ ⠀ I hadn’t had a chance to retest the recipe, until now - because we’re eating rice every day, gratefully having plenty on hand. ⠀ ⠀ These days, I’m cooking from my pantry, flexing all the muscles it has. That means lots of rice, beans, and lentils. ⠀ ⠀ The full recipe is linked in my profile. ⠀ Hope you’re all doing okay out there. ✌🏻❤⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #f52 #inmykitchen #instantpotrecipe #congee

Our kitchen that @bcherney worked tirelessly to completely renovate, while I worked and cooked in a back bedroom turned makeshift kitchen for 9 months. (before pics shown if if you swipe right.)⠀⠀ ⠀ I love her so much I could cry. Bright and airy, the natural light is a dream.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I’ve put the link to all the photos and blog post in my profile + story, so you can read about the details and see more. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 📸 These photos were taken by the talented @sageeimagery, and the styling was done by interior goddess’ @francois_et_moi and @creekwoodhill. Such amazing women, all of them. ❤⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #kitchenrenovation #ushapedkitchen #kitchenlife #oldhouses⠀
Mason jars. Food 52 published an article stating t Mason jars. Food 52 published an article stating they are overused, disingenuous, and that we need to stop using them for things other than canning and preserving. I disagree. And so do so many of you, who are discussing it in my stories right now.⠀ ⠀ In a time where we are all striving to use less plastic, and do our best in a lot of areas, it feels very pretentious to tell us what we should be using jars for. They’re affordable, multiuse (storage, transporting, drinking from, as a vase, and so much more), and last forever. and i totally get if you’re a wedding photographer and you’ve seen them a little tooooo much, but that doesn’t make them wrong. ⠀ ⠀ From their article: “It’s not just the inefficient drinking that makes mason jars so odious, it’s what I perceive to be their disingenuousness. In 2005, someone might have served you an Arnold Palmer in a mason jar because it’s what they literally had on hand, but not today. Today it’s more likely that someone ordered theirs on Amazon Prime, or picked up a value pack at Michael’s. The jars’ vacuum-sealable lids were promptly discarded to the junk drawer “just in case,” and the cabinet was fully stocked with “unorthodox” drinkware.”⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ I was strongly irked reading that, which doesn’t happen with me too often. I typically keep opinions to myself, but this feels wrong in many ways. Let me know your thoughts, or if I’m over reacting. ⠀ •⠀ #sustainabilty #reusable #glassjars #inmykitchen⠀ ⠀
⁣You and I, @bcherney. Through 10 years.⠀ A de ⁣You and I, @bcherney. Through 10 years.⠀ A decade passed.⠀ ⠀ Together, learning that love is so much more than 4 letters strung together.⠀ ⠀ But two hearts strung together, on a string that is frayed by life, and weathered by time. Held together by the delicate fibers that make us who we are as individuals, and who we are together.⠀ ⠀ I wished for many years with you, shortly after we met. But I was also realistic - that nothing could be guaranteed. ⠀ ⠀ That this was a long shot. ⠀ ⠀ That I was 26, you were 36.⠀ And sometimes things were too good to be true. ⠀ ⠀ But our love wasn’t. ⠀ ⠀ We didn’t necessarily need each other, but we knew we were better together. ⠀ ⠀ I had never been in any type of relationship, friend-family-personal- that defined open communication like ours did. It took practice from me, and patience from you. ⠀ ⠀ You made that safe for me, from the very beginning, showing me that this is what a solid foundation is built on. And I am forever grateful to you for instilling that. ⠀ ⠀ You challenge me. ⠀ You show up for me. ⠀ ⠀ And you love me in a way that I will never be able to fully explain. ❤⠀ ⠀ ⠀ • We celebrated 2 weeks ago in Phoenix, where we met. I dig up all these photos of us over the years, and the 2nd and 3rd photos were taken in March 2010, just shortly after we started dating. The rest are throughout the years.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #tenyears #ourstory #memorylane
