🎵Friday I'm in love.... with @bibibopasiangrill. 🎵
.
Let's face it - I'm kinda obsessed with Bibibop EVERY day. But it sure is a great way to end the work week.
.
Sad that @doordash won't let us order from @discover_pinecrest because I'm dying to try the Japchae!

Hosted my annual family tea party yesterday - it's one of my favorite traditions! From the non-traditional and healthy Mediterranean avocado tuna lettuce wraps to the traditional cucumber tea sandwiches & homemade lemon curd, it was a feast! But the best part was spending the afternoon with the ladies in my family. .
Lemon curd recipe on the blog. Roasted cauliflower, celery root and fennel soup recipe coming soon!

Happy #NationalPizzaDay! Stopped at @angeloslakewood and grabbed a well done Deluxe original crust pie to go. What a great ending to our exceptionally delicious day! 🍕🍕🍕

Donut Fest was a sweet way to start the day! Soooooo many amazing donuts, it was hard to pick a favorite! Some standouts were @goldiesdonuts glazed and sour cream donuts, the ice cream filled strawberry and cream from @urbanfarmercle and @brewnuts key lime filled. There was also lots of coffee, ice cold milk, a DJ and a donut themed photo booth! Thanks for bringing this fabulous event to #CLE for a 3rd year @donutfest! 🍩

I was treated to a feast last night at the @keymarriott Great Room. Not only did they completely remodel the first floor, they revamped the restaurant and are creating ah-mazing food and cocktails that are definitely not your average boring hotel food.
.
New Executive Chef @dbbqchef and @chefdanj have elevated the menu and are creating something special that really complements our city's food scene.
.
Swipe through to see all the delicious food and drinks. The Hot Chocolate Cake is swoon-worthy, but I can't stop thinking about the brussels sprout pesto on the salmon. Warning: this will make you hungry!
.
Put their new patio on your Must Do list for spring! It overlooks the mall and the Fountain of Eternal Life and they will be hosting an Indians Home Opener party.

Behold the glorious jam I made from some sad and unwanted out-of-season apricots from @perfectlyimperfectproduce! I was extremely skeptical, but very pleasantly surprised at how amazing this turned out. Thank you to all who suggested this. Best.Idea.Ever.

You never know what kind of magic can happen in the kitchen if you give it a chance! .
👉 The recipe is on the blog! (Link in bio) .

Turned out of season, unripe apricots from @perfectlyimperfectproduce into this gorgeous jam. All it took was a little sugar and a lot of stirring. Can't wait to share this at my tea party!
