I could come up here every day and never get tired of this view. Every trip I'm reminded how lucky I am that my "job" involves me traveling here to "shop," and eat the food these farmers have grown for generations. There is no place like @applehillca and no picture does her justice. #AppleHill #DoYouKnowWhereYourFoodComesFrom #FarmToFork #farmtotable #PrivateChef #privatecheflife #chefforhire #SierraNevada #LakeTahoe #Thanksgiving #Christmas #FallPorn #TreePorn #views #BG #VotaMea (at Boa Vista Orchards)

When your restaurant is open for Thanksgiving, you have to start prep early. *Cranberry Mandarin chutney.

I don't do selfies, so instead, you can have this pic of me at my 5th birthday party. I think I was sticking my fingers in the cake. Things haven't changed much. #tbt #selfie #kidstatus #VotaMea #cheflife #friendsAndFamily #hiatt

Not a fan of basketball, but when Texas teams come to town, you gotta pull for 'em! Oh yeah, #deftones are here, too. Didn't I just see you guys? 😂#Kings #Rockets #houston #GoTexas #ImABaseballFan #isitspringyet #Basketball (at Sleep Train Arena)
