Time saved from not having to commute to an office allowed me to make this today with produce I bought at the Evanston Farmers Market this past weekend. The quiche is made with heirloom tomatoes, leeks and veggie mozzarella (surprisingly good). Household dietary restrictions are limiting cow's milk dairy these days, so I also used oat milk. This tastes SO good, you wouldn't know of the substitutions if I didn't tell you. The cantaloupe is a super sweet variety that tastes almost like candy. It might have even been called a "candy melon". Oh, and the flatbread has nothing to do with breakfast, but is Indian Chapati I made to have with dinner tonight. . . . #evanstonfarmersmarket #summer #remotework #homechefmeals (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZZaJgL9AT/?utm_medium=tumblr

I switched locations in the house for working the second half of the day. I better be careful what angle I use for video calls. . . . #santaiswatching #remotework #peekaboo (at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtrkgkj1op/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's much easier for me to create this animation and post than to follow the words myself. LOL. I know I get in my own way too often. Habits take time to form, and they take time to change. I'm making progress. The most important thing I've learned is to take the small steps to make progress and not be too hard on myself. Even 2 minutes spent towards a good habit each day is 2 more than normal. Slow and steady wins the race! . . . #personaldevelopment #rainbow https://www.instagram.com/p/CLNB7pYBn1N/?igshid=1udu3jdvpww9b

Some days have felt very much like this. I’m happy I recognized my need to break up the monotony early on and built in activities to help. However, some days still feel like they’re on repeat. . . . #groundhogday #comedy https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2e_EiFmKd/?igshid=1dl9o5adwfuy6

Winter can be equally beautiful and desolate. I always want winter on my terms, but nature never works that way. As I've worked to be more present in my day-to-day life, I'm also learning to accept what life presents and simply appreciate the fact I am alive to experience it. Nothing grounds me more than being in nature. This view of Lake Michigan yesterday put me in my place. . . . #lakemichigan #winter #landscapephotography #snow #beach #mindfulness #photographer #iphone (at Evanston, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2BEcaBFow/?igshid=1ncockruru64s

I post photos of foods I've successfully made that get lots of love from people. What you don't see is when things don't always go according to plan. I tend to stick close to what I think I can do, but there's nothing to stop some good old clumsiness. Have you ever tried to clean up spilled egg whites?

A star is born! My new favorite cookie is this chocolate star. It’s like a brownie edge, but even crispier. The pipe & fill glazing is a new endeavor this year, but so worth it. . . . #christmas #cookies #cutoutcookies #chocolate #star #baking #guysthatbake #holiday https://www.instagram.com/p/CIzPiRwFufI/?igshid=19d8qy1w5avoj

The weather outside has been frightful the past 24hrs, but all wind and rain. The kid in me is dreaming of snowy Christmases from childhood. ❄️ ⛄️ . . . #christmas #snowman #childhood #memories (at The Park Evanston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CItKDRFh0Jv/?igshid=1up387u5garna

Good morning! Who’s up for some donuts? This is a shot from my weekend visit to a local shop. I couldn’t resist the sprinkle love and festive colors. - #donuts #sprinkles #foodporn #sweets #bakery #patterns #symmetry #rainbow https://www.instagram.com/p/B78jAx1gHLB/?igshid=1dp93r9jjf0uv

This isn’t hazardous. No. Nobody is going to walk past this display and snag themselves on these handles. There’s only about a 1 in 20 chance of doing so. — Says me after I did exactly that because I was looking at the display opposite this. - #retailfail #hazard https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TdN7Wg8F6/?igshid=1361azk7da51m
