Happy Birthday to my beautiful sweet angel, Ali 🤴🏽 thank you for opening my heart and eyes to true love, friendship, incredible food, views, and the real LA. You deserve to be celebrated daily for the incredible human being you are to me; my personal chef, comedian, best friend, singer, gym buddy, cinematographer, Spanish teacher, chauffeur, hug machine, among so many more. You are my blessing. Te amo mí cafecito ❤️

*!!CHANGE OF DATE!!* Hello everyone. I first want to thank ALL of you for your support over the years. I cannot express how much it means to me. So, having said that, I received an email stating my #Chopped episode will now be airing in May. I will be sure to give you proper notice about the exact day when the date approaches. Maybe by that time I will be able to watch w/my friends & family. Or for that matter we will all be able to be closer to our loved ones. 🤞 I chose to share this picture because I was working w/this chef as I (silently) mentally prepared myself for #Chopped. I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions swirling in my head on a daily basis, but as soon as I walked into his kitchen they faded away into the smell of fresh donuts. In our day to day work, we did together, he taught me little nuances that made me a better chef, developer & business woman. So rather than moan or groan about a change of date, I am honoring a chef who helped me without knowing. And a shamless plug...HE MAKES THE BEST DONUTS EVER...ANYWHERE!! So go to @dus_donuts and please help him help his team. We all need a little extra help these days, and @wyliedufresne & his team are no different. Stay safe, stay home & a giant OLAF sized hug is being sent to everyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🙌💞🦋#change #date #chopped #foodnetwork #competition #chefslife #chef #nyc #challenge #yourself #honor #local #heros #toosmalltofail #help #others #donuts #work #pride #dedication #yourenotalone #chefsunite #olaf #hug #blessed #lovewhatido #onelove #olaf #hugs #love #feedfeed

I thought I'd have a group of friends & family together (to help w/moral support😬) for tomorrow's @foodnetwork episode of #Chopped (airing at 9pm ET/PT). Since that's out of the question, I'm mentally preparing myself to watch one of the craziest, exhilarating & challenging days thus far in my career. So, I'm sharing some of my prep pics including a selfie where I forgot to do the most important thing...look at the camera 🤣 (just keepin it real), the gorgeous kitchen I rented out in Brooklyn & finally my brunch. Usually when I'm stressed I workout (✔), head to my favorite breakfast restaurant (✖)...since this cannot happen either. I brought the diner to me. Pineapple upside down (gf) pancake & a giant diner size scoop of honey goat cheese cream cheese & jam. Thank you everyone for all of your support, & cheers to staying healthy & happy!!!💞🙌🥂 #chef #grit #perseverance #challenge #yourself #breaking #mental #barriers #blessed #onelove #learning #everyday #family #friends #loveyou #hugyourlovedones #diner #pancakes #food #homecooking #foodphotography #workout #running #stressreliever #lasvegas #new #normal #brunchtime #nomnom

A weekend of social distancing, hiking, cooking, squeezing fresh citrus juice, making CBD infused truffle Sunday sauce, baking cannabis infused lemon/lime bars, enjoying some octopus & shrimp jicama tacos & trying to wrap my head around our current situation. #coronavirus #stayhome #stayhealthy #staystrong #togetherwestand #vegasstrong #feeling #lonely but #healthy #orange #lemon #lime #taco #shrimp #octopus #spicyfood #lover #feedfeed #eat #cleanliving #cbd #cannabis #bake #homecooking #getoutside #selfcare #chef #chefsofinstagram #bluesky #outdoorphotography

I had no idea where I was going or how long it would take to get there, but in the end I found exactly what I was looking for. A long & up hill hike followed by a quick stop at my favorite sushi restaurant. It's good to be back in Vegas. 🌞😎

A #tbt to a blustry overcast day when all my garnishes kept blowing away & my asparagus kept slipping.🤣🤷‍♀️📸 This is a harissa glazed shrimp & white asparagus over a pistou cous cous. The pistou was made from dill, mint, Italian parsley, roasted garlic, meyer lemon juice, a dash of red wine vinegar, drizzle of local honey, full spectrum cbd oil, grapeseed oil, cracked black pepper & pink salt. #rainyday #windy #photoshoot #chefslife #chef #nyc #newjersey #cbd #cannabis #hemp #foods #legalizeit #new #recipe #shrimp #seafood #lover #spicy #sweet #dinnertime #happygirl #cleaneats #healthyliving #instafood #activelife #deliciousness #foodpics #healthyrecipe #chefsofinstagram

Fresh figs are such a beautifully complex & balanced fruit that you truly don't need to do much to them. Keeping that sentiment in mind, I made this little pastry. The base is an almond & raw sugar sable dough, rolled thin & baked to a crispy round base to build on. Next layer was a vanilla bean & honey sweetened cream cheese/goat cheese spread that was topped w/those gorgeous fresh figs from my local market. #figs #creamcheese #goatcheese #honey #fruit #dessert #lovers #pastry #chefslife #newyorkcity #newjersey #baker #chef #cooking #kitchen #fun #eeeeeats #instafood #food #art #natural #light #running #motivation #cantstopwontstop #new #recipes #foodphotography #dessertporn #deliciousfood
