Last week @thisorganicgirl messaged me and asked if I had a silver lining story to share during this time. I love this request. Do you have a silver lining story—something positive in the midst of the current world situation? I want to hear it, share below. Here’s mine: In the midst of what feels like life being turned upside down, we have found sanctuary in returning to the basics--something we had lost in the busyness of daily life. In the past week, we've revived our sourdough starter and started baking bread each morning, even sharing starters with family and friends who are now baking as well and sharing loaves with loved ones in the medical field. We've weeded out the backyard garden that has been neglected for years and now have a small veggie and herb garden growing--supplied by local farms in the area selling not only their harvest but also seedlings. In the midst of chaos, our home has become a sanctuary for the joy and peace that comes from a simple homemade loaf of bread, the planting of a basil plant, and the slowing down to enjoy a meal around the table. This has been our silver lining!

One of my favorite ways to entertain during the sp

One of my favorite ways to entertain during the spring months, when gatherings and baby showers usually abound, is to make a cheese board. Even though we’re not gathering together right now, we can still enjoy the simplicity and nourishment of a cheese board with the people we live with using pantry ingredients.

Cheese boards allow you to pull together random finds (like the half of cucumber left in the produce drawer, the handful of nuts in the pantry, and berries that need to be used) and build an incredible meal the whole family can nibble on and enjoy.

In partnership with @cypressgrovers let’s talk about how to build an amazing cheese board the whole family will love. #CypressGrove #HumboldtFog #Sponsored 🧀 Cheese: I love Humboldt Fog goat cheese from Cypress Grove, an award-winning American classic with a distinct ash line that makes it an instant stand-out on a cheese board (and incredibly delicious). Cheese keeps in the fridge for quite a while, making it a pantry staple in our home. Slice it up or serve whole. Spread on crackers, bread, or enjoy a slice as-is. Cheese is always best served at room temperature. 🥒 Veggies: Cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, radish slices, carrot sticks, kohlrabi sliced, anything currently in your fridge. 🍓 Cut or Whole Fruit: Cantaloupe, berries, watermelon, honeydew, grapes, avocado, cherries, citrus or apple slices. 🥣 Hummus: Plain hummus or add variation by blending up a cooked beet, cooked carrot, or roasted bell pepper. You can make hummus with dried or canned chickpeas. 🥖 Toasts: Brush bread slices with olive oil and grill or broil until crisp. Or, crackers or pita. 🍖 Meats: Deli meat, prosciutto or pepperoni or other cured meats, shredded chicken, grilled steak, chicken salad or tuna salad or egg salad, or hard boiled eggs. 🍯 Honey: I love to drizzle honey over a slice of Humboldt Fog and a cracker or toasted bread. 🌰 Nuts or Seeds: Roast nuts and seeds in the oven at 325F until fragrant or serve raw. Hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cashews are my favorite. 🍈 Olives or pickles: Various pitted olives, pickles, or fermented veggies.
Simply mix & match a few options. Serve w/ napkins or small plates.

NEED YOUR HELP 🍓🍎🥬🥓🧅🥖! SHARE BELOW >>> A reader friend messaged me yesterday with the best idea: “Any chance you could start a thread for people to post local farmers in their area that are now offering delivery, pick up, etc.?” I love this! So let’s start a thread and support local and help each other out with food connections! SHARE: Location and the name of the farm or could be a farm stand or market or butcher shop (tag them if they have a handle). Feel free to add as many as you want and any notes that will help folks. I’ll start: St Pete, Florida: @littlepondfarm (veggies and fruit, delivery and pick up) @theboozypig (in Tampa: meat, pick up and delivery for meals) @trailbale (meat and eggs, delivery and pick up), @wordenfarm (veggies and fruit, delivery, also in Sarasota), @lifefarmsfl (Clearwater, veggies, pick up), @stpeteferments (pick up, fermented veggies and kombucha.

@jimmyfallon started this and I love it! We could all use some humor this week. Whether you’re stuck at home, working outside the home, or just feel like this week was a blur, we could all use some laughs. So mine: Rationing toilet paper like a pro 🤣. And: now homeschooling the kids, send wine! 🍷. #myquarantineinsixwords
