Roasted Beets with Fresh Mozzarella and Spiced Pistachios

Just saying “spiced pistachios” makes me want to pour a Hot Toddy and make a fire. This party-ready dish doubles as appetizer or salad so the host can fit it in wherever it’s needed.

I've been resigned to centerpiece duty for our dinner party tonight since this cook is still sidelined 😏 Loving this long brass container I found last summer. I use small glasses and jars in it and fill the whole thing with eucalyptus and winter-y roses. Swipe for a quick visual how-to 👆 #dinnerpartymoves #properlyforkedathome • • • #centerpiece #traderjoesfinds #flowers #roses #diy #dinnerparty

This #polarvortex has us looking for all that 🔥🔥Prague introduced us to hot lavender lemonade (gotta love a good English translation 😏) It's a rum-based drink best served in a mug by surly men outside on cobblestone streets. Luckily, @altonbrown gave us the method for recreating any good rum punch, so once again, all our rum punch dreams were made true 😍 Recipe for all that Czech goodness is live on the blog for all my frozen friends.❄❄❄ #1partsour2partssweet3partsstrong4partsweak #properlyforked #coldaf #warmernow • • #rumpunch #otb #lavender #hotdrinks #foodblogger #lemonade #hotlemonade

#fbf to when I had two working legs 👣 🙄 and made up this gorgeous citrus and cranberry baked oatmeal.🍊🍋🍊 I used my all-the-breakfast-things muffins recipe and added dried cranberries to the batter. Candied blood orange, mandarin and meyer lemon slices on the bottom of the cake pan made for a beautiful topping once I turned the cake over. The base recipe is #ontheblog so you can make up your own version. Dale doesn't know it yet but he's making us another batch this weekend 😏 #hiyadale #properlyforked #citrus #citrusseason #breakfast

As it turns out, Dan is a badass sous chef and I can efficiently shout kitchen orders from the chair in the corner. 😏 Scrambled duck eggs, avo, meyer lemon, and alllllll the bacon.🦆 😍 #HiyaDale #sunddaysareforbrunch #citrusseason #mylegisproperlyforked #husbandgoals #andwereback

If you don't recognize this spread of culinary delights, I envy you. I broke my leg on Wednesday and have been on the Jell-O diet ever since. 🥃A very concise way to glaze over the worst day of my whole life which ended with me in surgery getting lots of metal bits fastened permanently to my bones🛠. As well as the Jell-O diet has treated me, my first culinary thought through the ketamine haze was...."I wonder if I could make some killer Jell-O from scratch?" I'm thinking less Red 40, more real berries. Test cooks please jump in since this cook is on hiatus for 6-8 weeks. I'm home today and have already been showered with love and support and logistical help and flowers and yes, of course, food! We couldn't ask for better friends and family, better doctors, or better nurses - who knew exactly what I meant when I asked for the "good jell-o."💜 #mylegisproperlyforked #seewhatididthere #hospitalshavethebestice

Broiled grapefruit with local honey might be my favorite way to eat this lovely thing. And greyhounds will forever be my favorite way to drink them 😉🥃We're sticking to this version at least until the weekend 🍊 #rosemarygarnish #allwinterlongbaby #citrusseason #grapefruit #breakfastmoves

I'm continually amazed how these babes show up just in time with the shot of vitamin c and sunshiney colors we all need in winter. There is absolutely no effing orange like a January orange 🍊🍋🍈Citrus on eeevverything this week, so keep your 👀 open #seasonaleats #citrusseason #sexyproduce • • #seasonaleating #seasonalfood #rosemarygarnish #citrus #bhgfood #foodstagram #instagood #foodporn #cleaneating #cleaneats

From food & flower lover to locavore to activist... The path is short once you get a taste of the good stuff and learn about the bad. 🌱 Prepare for more posts about this little #urbanfarm in Detroit doing big things. I was voted onto the board yesterday and couldn't be more excited to help.🤩 #canyadigit #locavore #dahlialove #tomadophile #eveninwinter @thegardendetroit @detroit_abloom

Breakfast at home for us was chilaquiles with a tomatillo blood orange salsa and homemade barbacoa. 🔥🥑 This is a great way to use up those extra tortillas (and toppings) after burrito night - cut tortillas in wedges, spread onto a cookie sheet, and drizzle or spray with oil. Toast in 450° oven for 5 minutes or until crisp. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot. Top with gorgeous local eggs and all the toppings. Even easier when you've got left over barbacoa in the freezer from more ambitious days 😎 What's your favorite leftover breakfast move? #10minutemeal #yolkporn #citrusseason #brunchsohard #seasonaleats • • #seasonaleating #seasonalfood #chilaquiles #breakfastgram #bloodorange #tomatillo #properlyforked #wintereats #winterfood

I don't think I'll ever tire of a post-grocery store centerpiece #sexyproduce #citrusseason
