Family dinner - before - SCROLL THROUGH for during ☺️ Always warms my ❤️ to be able to gather around the table with my family. It’s perfectly imperfect every time! With 5 kids it’s hard to please everyone, but for the most part it’s a beautiful site #thewaylifeshouldbe #familydinner #justdoit #chicken @apricotlanefarms #family #food #fun #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #yum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #wapf #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #foodporn #recipe #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife
This look familiar to any of you instagramers out there?? 😆🤣 @slowfoodventuracounty and I discussed photographing our food yesterday on our way to be filmed for the @breakbreadshow (check it - and follow along their journey up the coast👍). We set up at the beautiful farm of of our friend @farmeromeo in Santa Barbara. We see Romeo each week @smfms and enjoy pastured pork, raised on his farm, in our school lunches @manzanitaedu 🐷❤️This fall we are diving into more of his lettuces and specialty veg. His Mom is from the Philippines, so they grow some unique varieties 👍👩‍🍳❤️ Ok, so back to the snap shots... yeah, with instagramming we may be taking time away from someone perhaps to get the perfect shot, but if you can keep it light and fun it’s kinda the most amazing gastronomic scrapbook - after all we eat typically 3x a day, and if you geek out on food like I do it’s often a beautiful expression of nourishment on several levels - food, family, community, laughter, local, connection, decompression, adventure and on and on. Food, and all that it embodies, feeds the soul. Break bread with someone today if you can - it doesn’t have to be bread - just nourishment for the soul - or a half calf espresso 😉 “To break bread is to affirm trust, confidence, and comfort with an individual or group of people. Breaking bread has a notation of friendliness and informality, derived from the original meaning regarding sharing the loaf.” #breakbread #espresso #instagram #snapshot #soulfood #friends #friendship #sharing #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #yum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #wapf #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #foodporn #recipe #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife

Bridging the #old with the #new. Healthy fats and traditional wisdom - couldn’t ask for more! An amazing day! 👊 #Saturday Picked up my raw dairy from the Amish coop in venice in the am, and then decided to swing by and take a loaf of my freshly baked sourdough to my French elder close by. She is lovely in every way - she starts with hugs of gratitude #thankyou x 10 #unbelievable I just pinch myself that I get to glean life lessons from just about everything that comes out of her mouth 💕 She sent me on my way with her preserved lemons (made the traditional Moroccan way), dried bay leaves and her real French sea salt from the French Market. She learned to forage from her grandmother who died when she was 14 - she carries that knowledge with her to this day. Her friends are all on 20 medications and she only on 1. She knows the power of real food that’s for sure. SCROLL THROUGH to see her in action #inspiring 🙌 As much as I wish we could turn all hands back I am accepting not everything packaged is bad. There are people out there doing amazing things! @bulletproof is now on board to support our school lunch efforts @manzanitaedu and will be supplying us with product to feed the brains and bodies of the kiddos and community here 🙌 I am just so pumped to collaborate with such a forward thinking connected group of people. #gratitude is the foundation of their company, and that’s what It’s all about guys 🙏🏻🙌👊👍👩‍🍳❤️ Deep gratitude for another best day! Imagine healthy fat boxes rolled out to schools across the country in tandem with a condiment crusade featuring @primalkitchenfoods !! 💯 #lunchlady is on it!! TO TOP IT ALL OFF - ran into a mama today who told me every one of her son’s symptoms (he has been struggling with for 4 years) has been reversed in 2 months using my book 🙌👍❤️#makesmesohappy #thehealyourgutcookbook #gapssiet #lovemyjob #kids #fatasfuel #fatadapted #fat #primal #bulletproof #power #lunchladyapproved #leaders #keto #paleo #healthylifestyle #health #healing #elders #french

Oh lordy 👩‍🍳❤️ - here we go! I always say: “say a bread prayer 🍞🙏🏻” before opening the oven when baking bread, but today I’m asking for bread prayers a little early 😆 School starts 2 weeks from today @manzanitaedu and this #lunchlady 👩‍🍳is gearing up for roughly 32 loaves of homemade sourdough per week - I’ve multiplied my recipe x 12 😬and thanks to @slowfoodventuracounty a new scale made scaling up much easier 🐌❤️ This is locally grown 🌾 @tehachapigrainproject @sherry_gurl and freshly milled by moi @wolfgangsmockmill then put through a 48 hour fermentation process. It’s pretty special if you ask me, but I am still learning and think I always will be 🤓 I wan’t the children, and community, to known bread - real bread - bread made with love and deep thought in it’s sourcing, preparation and process. It’s an amazing thing really - this bread baking thing... been at it for 2 years now and it’s always evolving. As I slow down and feel into the bread - it’s texture, shape, smell and give - I am starting to be more intuitive and trusting in my baking ❤️ I’m finding it’s in the #slow that comes the know 👊💡 #slowingdown #epiphany #baking #sourdough #microbes #guthealth #ancientgrains #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #lunchladyapproved #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #wapf #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #foodporn #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife
A slow roasted pork shoulder @slowfoodventuracounty and some slow roasted garlicky tomatoes 🍅has pretty much kept us going this week for dinners. You know the expression cook once eat twice? Well, with a nice cut of meat it can be more like cook once eat for the week 🐽❤️ As long as you can switch things up with different sides or ferments @wildlyfermented to kinda keep things interesting 🤔- it’s the way to go 👩‍🍳❤️ served with peppers @chiefmeesh @tuttifruttifarmsca @smfms with melted cheese. Tortillas cooked up in coconut 🥥 oil @nanasolutions.co and a little 🥒 and 🥑 👊 #dinner #makelifeeasy #itshot #summer #tacos #mexican #delicious #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #yum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #wapf #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #foodporn #recipe #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife
