Stop ruining expensive lobster.

Lobster is too good – and too expensive – to guess your way through cooking it.

Two things matter most:

Cook it 5 to 6 minutes per pound, and don't just rely on the timer.

The real secret is temperature.

180°F is the magic number. No more, no less.

Save this before your next lobster dinner. 🦞

Most people grow chives for the leaves… But don't overlook the blossoms.

Chive blossoms are completely edible and have a delicate onion flavor. That's perfect for frying into a light, crispy treat. It's one of those simple little garden treasures that feels almost too pretty to eat.

Next time your chives bloom, don't throw the flowers away.

Have you ever tried eating chive blossoms?

If your road tripping, this is how you avoid fast food the entire way down.

we're heading 800 miles to South Carolina tomorrow, and instead of relying on gas station stops, I packed a cooler with simple, homemade food that actually feels good to eat.

Chicken salad, roasted gold potatoes topped with ramp, butter and Parmesan cheese and fresh cucumbers – nothing complicated, just real food made ahead.

It takes a little planning, but it makes the drive so much easier… And honestly, so much better.

I would take this over a drive-through any day.

We added 8 baby chicks to our broody hen today 🐥

If you've ever raised backyard, chickens, you know how special this is. A Brody hen will naturally care for, and raise chicks as her own, and watching her settle in with them has been the sweetest thing.

I'll share more as they grow 🤍
