Just jazzing up my tuna salad sandwich with some top quality tuna in olive oil from @culinary_collective and @arroyabebermeo …tomato, cucumbers, red onions, olives and savory dill yogurt sauce. And some pretty epic bread from @highstphilly

I would eat cheese and charcuterie all day every day. Crafting a platter comes down to incredible cheeses, mouth watering cured meats and the proper accoutrements. These 3 cheese come from @neals_yard_dairy blue, la tienda’s paprika rubbed goat cheese and #delicedebourgogne. @laquercia speck and some I cant remember who’s salami. Lastly, the accoutrements, brought to you by @gilsgourmet #truffleoil #stuffedolives #mustards #spices and #suncuredolives

Making the most of your CSA basket or fresh grocer veggie haul with this creative use of swiss chard…swiss chard chimichurri. Great for steak toppers, sauced salmon or grilled veggies….Cheese! I’d put this on cheese. Noodles, def….what else can I think of….savory breakfast cereals…shrimp, lobster…. @calorganicfarms

I’ve been on a tiramisu kick lately…but in frozen form. These two diddies, one for @littlebabysic and another for @gilsgourmet represent the cake and cookie categories of frozen treats. For the cookies, I used Gil’s tiramisu chocolate covered caramels (chocolate chip cookie style-subbed) and LBIC’s coffee ice cream for constructing the tower of tiramisu. #tiramisu #frozentreats #icecream

If you cant tell from a few of these posts, I am a mega fan of Mexican street food inspired breakfast sandwiches. This one is a chorizo and potato number loaded with just about everything-eggs, cheese, pickled jalapeños, avocado smush, greens, tomatoes…I’m probably missing a few more ingredients…mayonnaise, I did put mayo on this…either way…start your days off right. Right? #inspiredbymexico #potatohash #chorizo #breakfastsandwich #notcountingcalories

It is so sad that cherry season is only around for such a brief time. I try to make the most of cherries while developing recipes-giving folks a way to get the most out of the fair-weather fruit. Here is one example, cherry vinaigrette a la refrigerator finds salad.

In the lab with chorizo and cheese breakfast toasts. Topped with eggy goodness, chopped herbs (garlic chives and cilantro), onions and avocado. A fork and knife 🍴 toast with just enough ooze for crunchy crust sopping. #chorizo #eggs #breakfastideas #brunch

Killer breakfast tacos 🌮 made with just some goodies kicking around in the fridge. Those heirloom tomatoes made a another comeback with a tangy pico. Some arugula, queso fresco, mashed avocado, bacon and fried cumin sunny sides pulled it all together nicely! #breakfasttacos #breakfastideas #eggs #brunch

Parmesan Eggs in Purgatory-this lab creation has just the right amount of savory kick. Added to the mix are some Tuscan style sausages and charred olive oil soaked sourdough. #eggsinpurgatory #breakfast #brunch #eggs #brunch #breakfastideas

Recreating the oh so delicious DiNic’s @tommydinics #roastporksandwich paying homage to one of the best sandwiches in the US! They’re the best but this one is pretty darn delicious. #roastpork #sandwich

Another fancy @tastykake #krimpets creation. This one is pistachio rose. Rose water scented cake along with frosting and a pistachio crumble topping for a fun flavorful crunch. #yum

Playing around with upscale homemade @tastykake #krimpets this one is sake and sesame. I reduced sake to a lovely glaze and soaked the cake plus used some for the frosting. I made a sesame brittle and infused more frosting with sesame as well. #yum Mega fan of the OG butterscotch jawn and had to get in the lab for dev inspiration.

Another killer sammie for the LA cafe project. This veggie torta is all California with fresh thinly sliced radishes, cucumbers, beets, tomatoes and red onions with a healthy mix of sprouts and greens plus a little queso fresco crumble. The kicker is the dressing-a toasted cumin and garlic vinaigrette! #sandwich #veggie #creative #vegetarianrecipes

More @minorfigures oat milk 🥛 play with these oat milk cakes! All the dairy from the icing to the batter has been substituted with oat milk-it’s awesome 😎 🧁 #oatmilk #cakes #cakesofinstagram #dairyfree

Leftover latke fun in the lab! Stuffed lakes with apple walnut cream cheese with a touch of honey and horseradish (secret ingredient). #leftovers #latkes #latkesfordays #latkesforbreakfast #alldaylatkes

Are you hamming it up this holiday weekend? 🐖 Switch up your glaze with something a little more zippy. I made this garlicky chili pepper glaze for my ham and it’s awesome👌sauce (literally). #ham #easter #spicy #garlic #delicious

Later lab post (from this past weekend) for an LA cafe project-this all day breakfast sandwich has it all...crispy chorizo patties, Oaxaca cheese 🧀, hard boiled eggs, radishes, greenage and achiote mayo (made a achiote vinaigrette and whisked in some dukes!-so damn good) #breakfast #breakfastsandwich #chorizo #sandwich

Whatcha do when you have excess carrot cake batter? Make carrot cake loaf. What happens when you have too much carrot cake loaf? Make carrot cake popsicles 🥕 🤘...always finding ways to use the leftovers in the lab. #carrotcake #popsicles #frozentreats #leftovers

Spring carrot cake creations 🥕 🧁. Switched up the recipe a bit and dev’d a garam masala-style sugar glaze to drizzle on top. The end result is fragrantly sweet with a fun kick. #carrotcake #muffins #garammasala #springsweets

Easter candy is everywhere! I can’t help myself when it comes to those @reeses chocolate pb Easter eggs 🐣! Which got me thinking...how cool would it be to make a chocolate Swiss roll filled with creamy peanut butter? Tadaaa! I need to work a little on my cake swirl but it eats well 🤗 #chocolate #peanutbutter #peanutbutterbreath #homemade #swissroll
