I’m angry.

That’s where I am with your absence. As today crept up on me, there had to be an acceptance that I am angry. I want you here for all the things and I don’t want to live in optimism, or look at the bigger picture today. I want you. That’s the worst part of life, loosing it. Especially when you don’t get the chance to grow old together. I’m supposed to be getting older with you. You’re supposed to be watching me get older and wiser and life wasn’t set up that way for us.

I’m angry because I even though I have you as a guide now, I didn’t want it that way. I miss your laugh, and the face you’d make when you found out something juicy. The way you would call me your number one son even though I know you loved all of us equally. I miss you so much and I hate that you resorted to IG posts and facebook statuses. But I have to make the choice to choose happiness over anything else. That’s hard but I will try.

I am angry because I love you and I just want you here and this is the 4th go round and there’s a lifetime left to grieve your absence.

Happy Mother’s day mom. by @chef_dell_

This is the beginning of listening to myself
This is the quiet I once ran from, now holding me

This is the ache that taught me how to feel
This is the softness I never knew was strength

This is God reminding me of his power
This is me stepping into said power

This is the unlearning of who I thought I had to be
This is the remembering of who I’ve always been

This is the weight of years turning into wisdom
This is the mirror finally reflecting truth

This is doing the hard things
This is giving myself my own flowers

This is the release of what no longer fits
This is the space where I begin again

This is finishing what I start
This is starting over as many times as I need to

This is the breath between who I was and who I’m becoming
This is the moment I stop asking for permission

This is the beauty in the breaking open
This is the power in choosing myself

This is not an ending

Precision isn’t just about how sharp the blade is… it’s about how you move with it.

From the first cut to the final plate, every detail matters. This Tuna Crudo was built on control, intention, and trusting the process.
When your tools are right, you don’t rush—you create.

Tuna Crudo Recipe (Serves 4):�• 8 oz sushi-grade tuna (slightly chilled for clean slicing)�• 3–4 radishes, thinly sliced�• 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced�• 1 small shallot, finely shaved�• 2 tbsp ponzu�• 1 tbsp soy sauce�• 1 tbsp rice vinegar�• 2 tbsp citrus each, Lemon, Lime and Orange preferred)�• 1 tbsp herb oil (parsley, chive, or cilantro) I used parsley �• Salt + fresh cracked black pepper

Directions:
1. Pat tuna dry and place in freezer for 5–10 minutes to firm up.
2. Slice tuna into thin, even pieces using a sharp knife.
3. In a bowl, combine citrus juice and rice vinegar.
4. Plate tuna, then layer radish, serrano, and shallot.
5. Spoon over ponzu, soy sauce, and citrus mixture.
6. Finish with herb oil, salt, and pepper.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance.

You don’t need to rush into your day.

For a long time, I thought productivity meant moving fast…
waking up and immediately getting to it.

But lately, I’ve been learning something different.

Slowing down…
being intentional…
creating space before the world starts asking things of me.

This right here has become my ritual.

A warm cup.
A quiet moment.
Something simple to nourish myself.

And from there… everything else flows better.

More focus.
More clarity.
More presence.

This isn’t just coffee for me—
it’s a reminder to start my day on purpose.

We gathered around the kitchen island with flour on our hands, wine in red cups and glasses, and one simple plan… make pasta together.

Fresh pasta has a way of slowing people down just enough to remember what matters — conversation, laughter, and the kind of joy you can’t script.
By the end of the night, we didn’t just make dinner. We unlocked another level of community.
Because food made with love doesn’t just fill plates… it fills the room.

Some days in the kitchen aren’t about a menu.
They’re about a moment.

Peach + berry compote bubbling down slow.
Buttery baked streusel with just the right crunch.
A cloud of whipped cream on top.

Served in a mason jar because I was simply having fun.

No special occasion.
Just joy, creativity, and documenting the process.

Food made with love fills more than plates. 🍑✨

Snowed in, so I chose comfort. Today’s agenda: slow down, turn on the oven, and let lemon cheesecake bring a little sunshine inside. 🍋✨

No rush. No pressure.
 Just creating something warm while the world outside stays quiet.
If you’re stuck at home today, I hope you find a small moment of joy— even if it’s just in the kitchen.
