Cooking With Problems

sometimes you have to compromise with an angry stomach, but I will never compromise on taste!

The last #cocktail is my personal favorite this is a #homemade #rosé #vermouth infused with #sage #thyme #vanilla #port and #strawberry #brandy topped with a strawberry leaf for garnish!

I love having dinner with my family. It always means good #wine . #brunello

I did it folks! I finally ventured down to the #reservoir with my brother to go #fishing that is my face of grave concern for how cold it was when we got down there. It certainly is a beautiful and peaceful spot but without the lovely campfire Aaron built, I'd be done for.

New #egg dish! Toasted english muffin spread with #goatcheese #springonion #watercress #smokedtrout topped with a #poachedegg drizzled with a touch of #honey and pepper. Salty, smokey, a little sweet, so good!

Trying out a new recipe for spring! #carrot top #pesto made creamy with #avocado and #Asiago topped with #bacon batons . Think I'll add something spicy to it next time! Mostly #healthyeating

Thinking back on my trip to all the love I received from people who knew nothing of almost nothing about me, and from all the people back home who cheered me on. This tomato was from Charleston making our daily breakfast sandwich with @explore_my_stories . #feelthelove #heart #tomato

#israeli #guacamole ? Is that a thing? Well now it is. #cucumber #tomato #celerysalt #lemon #garlic #pepper #parsley

So the colors may not be so appealing but the flavors were great! #chicken braised in #mustard #whitewine sauce with #artichoke #spinach #tomato pasta

Love having free reign in a kitchen! Grilled #salmon roasted #broccoli #wildrice #spinach salad happy to get back to #healthyeating

Day 1 back on the fitness wagon! Somehow managed to do 2, 30 minute workouts and made some #israelisalad and a fried egg over leftover lamb shank for lunch. Gotta do some damage control for all the decadence I've enjoyed the last few months!

This is one of the most perfectly designed restaurants I've been to @thewestendorff in downtown #charleston every detail was thought about and the same can be said of their killer wine list. Can't wait to try their food next time! If I end up moving down south, this is the first place I'm handing my resume.

Tossing out #wishes into the fountain. Wishing I was back where the sun is shining and I didn't have to wear a giant coat...

Thank you #charleston for being the perfect end to this incredible trip. How did you know I love #Dolphins ? So strange to think that this is where it all ends and I head back to the real world. It certainly has been surreal. Alas now I head to some kind of purgatory out in CT until April 1st but I'll pop into the city a bit to see all your lovely faces I've been missing!

This gorgeous plantation in #charleston reminded me so much of Monet's house! The sprawling #gardens the cute little #bridge (s) it was all designed in a very natural and not super manicured way. Lovely at every turn.

@gdewyngaert has really been getting into the spirit of this trip as we indulge in all kinds of beautiful food! The highlight might even be the most perfect cornbread I've ever had with a whipped honey butter from Edmond's Oast in #charleston #foodporn #traveljunkie
