Now that's a lumberjack breakfast! Wait, what's a female lumberjack? Maybe woman of the woods? Now that's a woman of the woods breakfast! ;)

Gluten free french toast with cinnamon, flax and sunflower seeds,  topped with shaved 100% cacao, white truffle oil and a fresh blackberry sauce. Yum!! I love white truffle oil and chocolate together! Literally, i bet you white truffle oil would be good on anything. :)

One of the best dishes I have ever had!

A friend and I went to Triniti restaurant in Houston and the starters were so beautiful we found it hard to dig in. He got the deviled lobster and I got pan seared foie gras served on a bed of candied bacon on top of a blueberry pancake with pomegranate pecan syrup and topped with a quail egg. Incredible!! Beats the pan seared foie gras ontop of rhubarb pie I had at Gemini Bistro in Chicago a few years ago.

Beet and collard green slaw

Over Thanksgiving my sister made a beautiful slaw from raw butternut. It inspired me to invent this slaw for lunch.
Shredded beets and collard greens
Chopped brazil nuts
Finely chopped dates
White truffle oil
Blueberry balsamic and coconut white balsamic vinegar

Soooooo goood!

Muscles and beets

The earthiness of the beets go so well with muscles. And the orange color of the muscles to purple of the beet broth is just so pretty!

Bacon wrapped Thanksgiving bird

My sister and I were in charge of the bird this year. We tried brining for the first time, then after we washed and dried the brine off we rubbed sage butter all under the skin. My sister did the meticulous task of braiding the bacon on the bird. OMG! Best bird ever!
