I've officially posted my first ever #instantpot recipe for you guys. It has all the flavor of bolognese but takes a tiny fraction of the time. Shopping for ingredients at @sproutsfm makes it easy on the pocket boo.

I love #mornings that I wake up on my own before my alarm and feel wide awake, excited for the day and ready to rock. Mornings without that groggy zombie state make me feel like I can take on the world with productivity. Oh and it doesn't hurt if it starts out with a pastry.

My ramen experience will be up on the blog *TOMORROW* Read all about our menu, process and what's worth it to make yourself, and what should ya just go out and buy! Excited to share all these tips with you all.

Although I'm gonna give you a spoiler: chasu pork is DEF worth it.

This lady! We've done a few collaborations in the past and now she's gone done and created her own business, @keepfloral. So proud of you Betty! Can't wait to see what this year has in store!

My favorite tea is Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It's #caffeinfree with chai-like flavors. While I'm not generally a huge tea fan, I LOVE this tea. And it's great with a splash of honey, whiskey & lemon to cure that sore throat.

When you shoot with natural light, this is the nature of the beast. Swipe right to see how dramatic the lighting can change in a split second when a cloud suddenly obscures the sun.

Missing these summer colors for suuuuure. I love the site of fresh snow, but when it all starts to melt and everything gets dirty and slushy all I want is the fresh green of spring in my life.

Confession: one thing I LOATHE is prepping herbs and garnishes. Pulling off every single leaf of thyme, parsley, or cilantro just makes me cringe. Sometimes, when I'm having one of *those* days I say "Screw it" and just chop it all to bits, stems and all.

As I've mentioned, I've been bit by the #baking bug and am going through #Tartine's #pastry book to teach myself the ins and outs of pastry making. I recently tested out their Frangipane Tart recipe and have a write up about it on the blog!

Today was very success! Tried two versions of Tonkotsu - one on the stove and one in the instant pot, but the IP version may need some tweaking before sharing.

Excited for the weekend because that means I get to spend a whole day making #ramen with @katienhorstmann. And yes, that means simmering broth for a whole day and making our own noodles with my @kitchenaidusa pasta attachment. If that isn't heaven I don't know what is.

Sometimes life just needs a little color.

Working on my next installment of @tartine recipe reviews and next up is Frangipane Tart! What is frangipane, you ask? Well if you watch the Great British Bake Off, you already know and if you don't, you'll find out soon. Hint: it's delicious.

Chilly days make me want to load up on the carbs. Anyone else? I say this as I eat my salad....

[thefondlife @thefondlife]

I've got a fun little mocktail recipe that incorporates whispers of summer that say, "Hey fraaaaaand! I'll be back soon." @sprouts recently rolled out their own ginger beer and it is de-LOI-shus in this recipe. Enjoy as is or add a little Vodka!
