Likely the last meal I’m cooking for a while since I’m having shoulder surgery on Fri so made it a good one. Duck breast with shoestring fries (with duck fat) and green beans and garlic (cooked in duck fat, of course). First time cooking duck and it came out great! 🍽️ Bonus jar of duck fat too!

On our way for a long weekend vacay but obligatory stop at our favorite brewery, Elevation. They have the most delicious dark beers. I don’t care that it’s hot out. It’s air conditioned inside and I’m having an 11% imperial stout dammit! 🍻

Looks kinda like a hot mess on a plate but there was so much deliciousness I had to pile it all on. Middle Eastern / Mediterranean inspired dinner of chicken with tzatziki, grilled vegetables and salad, with thyme hummus, tabbouleh, dolmas and pita from our local market. Shot of ouzo on the side 🍽️

Happy Friday! Enjoying a lovely night in with some herb board surf and turf. Grilled lobster tails, shrimp and NY strip. Not pictured - grilled whole broccoli crowns with garlic and lemon. Parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil and garlic chives fresh from the garden. 🍽️🦞🍤🥩🥦🌿

My first zucchini harvest! Planted these cute chubby little green grillers this year. Made pasta for dinner with them and some tomatoes and basil from the garden. 🧄🍅🌿🍽️

Ahh, spring in Denver. Winter weather warnings to the west, tornados to the east, and 68 and sunny in the middle where I’m watching the Nuggets game. Go Nuggets! ❄️ 🌪️ 🏀

Dinner last night - chicken thighs with orzo. Made everything in the slow cooker and then broiled the thighs to get them nice and crispy. Orzo had shallots, artichokes, capers, cannellini beans, cherry tomatoes, lemon and lots of garlic. 🍽️🧄

Taco Tuesday! Used up leftover steak and elote from the weekend to make tacos and esquites. And a selection of a few of our hot sauces. (Not shown but definitely included: tequila) 🍽️🌮🌽🌶️

Possibly one of the best burgers I’ve ever made or eaten. (I’m sure hours of yard work in the hot sun did not influence this opinion at all.) Bison burger with all the toppings and elote on the side. A small side salad of cucumbers and tomatoes to keep things healthy 😁🍽️🍔

Brunch with friends today. I made sweet potato biscuits and gravy and cheesy scrambled eggs. Partner made three different kinds of bacon (candied, peppered and regular). Friends brought potatoes and fruit salad. I also made the sourdough bunnies. And mimosas and espresso martinis 🍽️🍸🍹🥓

Felt like some curry since it was a sloppy, wet spring snowy day. Also had a craving for kimchi so made an Indian-inspired swordfish curry and some kimchi fried rice on the side. Didn't think they'd go together so had basmati rice at first. I was mistaken. Mixing them was SO GOOD!🍽️
