CHEFIN' AWESOME

Here some sexy wellfleets I brought home a few days ago and ate. I ate all of them. I wish I had more. I think I’m oyster obsessed. 🍤 🍤 #oyster #wellfleet #nerd #summer18 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnW6W9tAU0q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nsveyps2bmaz

These are some nice size Cherokee purples from my garden (I think they’re Cherokee purps. Sounds like a weed strain eh? Could be my German whatever’s anyway...) I’m glad stuff is finally ripening! It’s been and emotional week for me. And my thumb. Whom lost a war to the cap of shaving cream in the shower. I KNOW WTF RIGHT?!?! Here’s to a Hopefully better bronchitis free August!! 🍅 🍅 #summer18 #tomatoes #heirloomtomatoes #firstcrop #homegarden #homegardening #injury #deadlybottlecapconfessions #organicallygrown #diy #foodofinstagram #cherokeepurple #germanqueentomato

Chefin Awesome is back up! (Link in bio!) New posts coming soon! I’m in the middle of some home renovations and moving more stuff. I feel like most streamers don’t have houses and multiple so’s so it’s been hard to get back to streaming. Not to mention a bevy of gardening. I’m due for a gardening stream, as soon as I find that phone Tripod 😝 ❤️ These are peonies from our garden. My girlfriend did All the work. I just cut them and put them in a bowl. Of course, photo bombed by the BF, like the lighting was perfect in these photos,k? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #peonies #flowers #peoniesaremyfavorite #boyfriend #garden #gardening #summer #pretty #trio #loveeachother #loveyourself #summer18 #twitch #streaming #blog #food #chefs

Look at that sear! Cooked up some halibut with some shrimps and quinoa. Made my own coconut curry and some avocado mango “salsa.” The death of Anthony Bourdain has really struck a cord with me. It saddens me because I’ve been there. I’ve been where his girlfriend has been. My boyfriend has also been there. It just sucks that sometimes something that seem so easy preventable isn’t. It’s made me realize that even through all the bullshit each one of us can touch and inspire the people around us. Just like he has. Anthony, you will be missed dearly. #seafood #anthonybourdain #cheflife #inspiration #loveeachother #foodphotography #depression #metoo #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #love

Summer is officially here! I haven’t returned to streaming yet, even though I have the technology now 😜 Just exploring life and new avenues for the time being. My website will be back up by the end of the week. But for now I’m gonna grill and smoke just about everything! 🥩 🥩 🥩 #foodporn #summer18 #meat #ribs #smoker #bbq #barbecue #barbeque #applewood #cookingram #foodphotography #sun #love #foodlover #michigan #chargriller

Made up some tasty Salmon Burgers and Tuna Kabobs from Weyand’s Fisheries.
