The best presents are edible. Happy #ValentinesDay ❤️

Making a massive batch of red sauce alongside Halloween themed cupcakes is a logical combo choice, right? 🙃 I'm targeting: "Extraterrestrial" swirl with lime, "Purple People Eater" plain, and "Blood & Guts" with apricot jam. 🎃💀

Delicious!

Now that we have entered Day 3 of our power outage, I'm getting experimental with #cookinginthedark - now featuring eggs and chopped potatoes grilled in a muffin tins.

Wish me luck...

That moment when you successfully match your colorful food to your colorful decor choices.

This pain in the A "royal crown bread" from Nadya Hussain's "Time To Eat" show took way too long to do, but is loaded with flavor. (Olive tapanade/blue cheese/apricot jam.) Anybody have a cheat for yeasted bread so I can feasibly see myself making this again?

#TimeToEat with @BegumNadiya Beet and feta pasta! Very summery! I'll be eating it when home alone just like on the show because it wasn't my husband's favorite - more for me!

Enjoying my rare moment with a perfect 🥑 avocado 🥑 this morning.

4 fresh baked quiche, 2 loads of laundry, 1 hole in the backyard, and 1.5 glasses of wine later - #QuarantineAndChill Saturday evening begins.

@kathy_sylvester Pie is gone, but I am getting good biscotti feedback - think I need a second batch!

[Samantha Sylvester @Sam_n_Ike]

Spoils after a day of quarantine PTO: sausage mushroom pie, feta spinach quiche, pistachio cranberry biscotti. 👩‍🍳🍴🥘

Decided I need to get married again and pretend I'm Ukrainian so I can experience the korovai wedding bread tradition.

Nothing says night before #Easter like a quarantine, Afghani food take out, and a viewing of "IT: Chapter 2". But there's fancy homemade cappuccino this morning from Mike to bring it back together.

Week three of #QuarantineLifeProblems reminds me that being trapped in a house with #quarantinecats means some serious allergy flare-ups.

[Samantha Sylvester @Sam_n_Ike]

Vodka doesn't, like, ENTIRELY cancel out my pretty salad, does it??? #QuarantineLife

[Samantha Sylvester @Sam_n_Ike]

I still make a pretty good looking turkey chili. 😎🤟

That moment when you have to walk to Ride Share and realize how stupid long LAX airport is.

Sheba Meaty Tender sticks: enough cat crack to turn my food-adverse cat into a beady-eyed minibeast that will chew and drool all over my pants pocket to have more.
