#comfortfood was a requirement in my menu planning as we welcomed everyone back @manzanitaedu after a week of mandatory evacuation due to the #woolseyfire #malibufires A community reunited over a nourishing meal and conversation with friends, teachers and mentors - all under the gorgeous oak trees of #topanga So much #gratitude our natural surroundings were spared with these 🔥 SCROLL THROUGH for a delicious meal of mac and cheese with homemade sourdough breadcrumbs and pancetta, roasted carrots, sliced tomatoes, salad with beautiful radishes @weiserfamilyfarms and amazing kraut @wildlyfermented @jovialfoods @organicpasturesdairy @tuttifruttifarmsca @pureindianfoods @gristandtoll @the_garden_of_ @smfms #homecoming #community #realschoolfood #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #yum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife #farmersmarket
SCROLL THROUGH ❤️ My desire for gelatinous soups (great for the gut, hair, skin, nails, digestion...) and salads filled with sprouts, ferments @wildlyfermented @fireflykitchensseattle , fats 🥑 and dressings @primalkitchenfoods have been huge as of late. Frozen soups and broths have allowed for 3 nights of easy nourishing meals. Returning to our house after 7 nights of #woolseyfire 🔥 evacuation has been a sweet homecoming, but the cleanup and regrouping has me craving downtime with fam and simplicity. Dinner time is always a place where we come together and slowdown - even if only for a bit - it’s #precious time! Want a winner for any kid?? Head to @belcampomeatco and purchase their pork ramen broth then pop in @lotusfoods rice ramen. I added spinach and broccolini with #avocado and cucumbers 🥒 on the side and actually spread a little raw butter @organicpasturesdairy on my 🥕 with a pinch of sea salt @redmondrealsalt 😆😋and called it a night 👏👍✅❤️💯. #simplicityisgourmet #ramen #dinner #family #homecoming #home #broth #soup #easy #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife #farmersmarket
FAMILY ABOVE EVERYTHING ❤️ Today we came home to Topanga after 7 nights of mandatory evacuation due to #woolseyfire 🔥 As I looked for something @blackbirdgeneral to thank our dear friends for their graciousness in hosting all 6 of us and our 🐶 this past week, I realized they are not just friends - they are family ❤️ Despite being inconvenienced and displaced - this past week has been magical on many levels 💫 Life has a funny way of showing us what really matters... I am #grateful to be on this #adventure and on the other end of ❤️ from The Welch Family @manzanitaedu @amazingkidco #helpingothers #love #itsalllove #familyaboveeverything #family #friends #malibu #lunchladyapproved #californiafires #fire #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #momlife #farmersmarket
I was supposed to be on a flight ✈️ to Baltimore today to speak and spread some lunch lady love 👩‍🍳❤️ @westonaprice Conference - instead - day 6 of evacuation 🤪 9 kids, 4 adults and 4 dogs in a 3 bedroom - 1 bath 😆 Well, this morning I packed up our bags, deflated a blow up bed, stripped sheets, swept floors and headed to the @smfms to gather food for school lunch on Friday @manzanitaedu only to turn around 1/2 way, due to extreme traffic, and come back to the news that the mandatory evacuation of Topanga has been extended 😫 Paper plates, #lunchlady sourdough smeared with raw butter @organicpasturesdairy and cheese with scrambled eggs, salad and 🍅 mozzarella and basil fed us all just fine 💯❤️👍 I am overcome with #gratitude as we are all safe and we are continuously welcomed by our dear friends @amazingkidco to stay yet another night ❤️ Another time I’ll tell you about my near death experience @duffscakemix with 9 children 👩‍🍳 #nightmare 😱🤪😆🤣 #friends #woolseyfire #helpingothers #evacuation #malibu #fire #lunchladyapproved #californiafires #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife #farmersmarket
I start many a speech with my grandfather’s words “You don’t gotta have anything, but you gotta have heart.” When one of the nicest “guys,” and quiet possibly one of the best bread bakers in the 🌎@ceorbread , knows you have been displaced, due to the #woolseyfire 🔥, and pings you saying come get bread... It’s not a 🤔 it’s a 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🍞❤️ It’s written all over his shirt - “good bread takes time - great bread takes ❤️ ” As I get older, and perhaps a bit wiser, I feel drawn to heart centered people. Guy @ceorbread is one of the most heart centered people I know - creating true works of art for the love of creation, curiosity, life (also as in live cultures) and an innate sense of giving to give - for no other reason than to share his gifts with others. He not only creates pure magic from the heart - he does it with local ingredients supporting those mindful farmers doing things right @kandarianorganicfarms @smfms I did have to get back to a house full of teenagers 🤪 @manzanitaedu so Guy sent me off with two bread doughs ready to pop in the oven! Scroll through - eating tonight with raw butter @organicpasturesdairy and a slow roasted pot roast that I’ve been cooking all day. This = happy/healthy teenagers who will undoubtedly hear from me the importance of giving - from the heart. Thank you Guy from the bottom of our 💜 ♥️ ❤️ AND bellies 😋💯👍👩‍🍳❤️ Thank you Welch family for opening your hearts, your home and your dinner table to our not so tiny family in our time of need😍 #lunchladyapproved #community #helpingothers #bread #sourdough #live #fire #malibu #topangabread #friends #heart #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife #farmersmarket
Yesterday morning the kids and I evacuated and made it to the PCH to get reception. Looking out at the ocean I couldn’t resist taking the kids down to the beach for a little sunshine and gratitude for our safety. Hard to believe 15 degrees to the right (scroll through) billowing clouds of smoke were starting to creep across the skies above #Malibu We then returned to our house only to evacuate again - this time we headed the other direction and landed at the house of our beloved and gracious friends @manzanitaedu who welcomed us with open arms. Thankful I grabbed a loaf of homemade sourdough, peanut butter and toe weaving string for nourishment and hours of entertainment (11pm and still making bracelets ☺️). Sending so much ❤️and 🙏🏻to ALL in this time of crisis. Holding my babes tight and deeply grateful for friends and community. We will get through this! #malibufires #community #prayers #topanga #friends #sourdough #hilaryboynton #liveyumyum #yummy #yum #organic #healthy #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #mom #chef #instafood #foodie #supportlocal #nutrition #homemade #farmtotable #momlife #farmersmarket
