  • Juicy pork chops smothered in a reduced balsamic plum sauce - dinner really doesn’t get much better! I used to think of this recipe as best suited to fall, but I noticed some really lovely plums in the store this week, so I’m thinking maybe it’s more of a multi-season event? Which is terrific news indeed. 😀 . . .

  • Fair warning: this is long! Are you ready for some deep thoughts? 🤣 . If I squint far enough back into my childhood, I can recall complaining to my mother of being bored. 😬 Oh, to have those days back! Sorta. The truth is, now firmly into my 30s, I’ve realized that the ratio of “things I want to learn” to “time available” is such that honestly I will NEVER be bored again. And that’s pretty cool. . So the challenge now is simply choosing to what to give priority. And among the possible skills one could learn, I’ve focused for a long time on teaching myself to cook and bake. It’s been delicious, rewarding, and fun; I’ll never stop. . But, what next/else? In the past year, I’ve scratched the surface learning about photography, which always interested me but was completely overwhelming. I recently started #foodtographyschool and am obsessively watching the lessons every day en route to my day job. And now all I want is to carve out time to study, practice, and get better and better. . I love LOVE identifying patterns, repetition, layers, and other reasons why some photos have instinctive appeal to me, even some that I took with blind luck in the past, like the spicy black bean tacos pictured here. It’s really beautiful that our eyes are naturally drawn to these things, and I am so freaking excited to learn more and more about that and how to apply it in my own craft. . So, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. 😜If you’re still reading (Buehler…?) tell me, what about you? What are you learning or wanting to learn right now? . . . And if you’re honestly just here for the tacos, I don’t blame ya, so..

  • OK friends, this is a must-make. 👌✨ Pan-seared salmon garnished with the most amazing topping of pistachios, basil, mint, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. All all all the thanks goes to Christina @thewholecook for the inspiration - this is our new favorite dinner! Bonus, it’s very much impressive/fancy enough for entertaining, but maybe it can be our little secret that it’s ready in about 25 minutes, hmm? I won’t tell if you don’t! . . . . . #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #feedfeed #myopenkitchen #storyofmytable #hautecuisines #foodblogs #bhgfood #inseasonnow #platedpics #gatheredtable #goopmake #scrumptiouskitchen #foodie_features #fellowmag #buzzfeedfood #gatheringslikethese #foodstyling #foodandwine #marthafood #tastingtable #psfoodcrush #nourishandfete #foodintheair #eattherainbow #pescetarian #foodgawker

  • Gooood morning! ☀️ Wishing you and yours a Sunday filled with gooey brown butter cinnamon rolls, or anything else that makes your heart equally happy. 💕 I made these this morning on a whim following @audra_thebakerchick’s recipe, and let me say, that’s a good way to weekend. But I did have to give away more than half to the neighbors to save me from myself. What are you up today!? . . . #sundayfunday #freshbaked #bakestagram #cinnamonrolls #bakerlife #foodwinewomen #foodblogeats #foodblogfeed #psfoodcrush #bhgcelebrate #theeverygirlcooks #foodaddiction #forkfeed #fridgg #foodgawker #eatprettythings #foodintheair #heresmyfood #eatlikeme #girlsonfood #imsomartha #bakingtherapy #bakingisfun #bakeandshare #nourishandfete #thebakerchick
  • Oops, I did it again! 😬 An accidental multiple day break from posting/engaging on the Insta. I know, I’m actually trying to grow this account, and all, ALL, the advice says not to do this, consistency is king, etc. But you know, when I take a break, I play more with my son, actually just enjoy our food, and spend way more time looking up rather than down at my phone. . None of that is to say I don’t love Insta (I genuinely do!) but it is really nice to give myself the grace to take a break now and again. ✌️💕 and enjoy all the great inspiration this community provides with a happier lighter heart in turn! . Treatise over! Now, if you’re not making these strawberry banana muffins this weekend... WHY NOT!? They’re delicious and have fruit and Greek yogurt, so basically healthy. Happy Friday!! . .
