When having a sleepover with my youngest niece, one must pull out all of the culinary stops. Tonight's menu includes orochiette au fromage with artisan beef mignettes. On the side we have maize and cheddar croquettes with a potato crostini topped with peanut pesto and strawberry preserves. I have paired a refreshing caramel and black cherry appertif with the main course to round out the experience. #fancy (at Brookings, South Dakota)

Every year I get to spend with this woman is another blessing - at 95 years old, my grandmother shows me what living a good life can get you. Remember to hug your loved ones extra tight today and tell them you love them; you can never do it enough! Merry Christmas to all of my friends and family, wherever you may be!

Playing chef tonight for the Dell Rapids Lions Club - I am so lucky to get to do something I love for people I respect so much. But first, coffee... (at Rose Stone Inn)

Well, if you're going to winter, you might as well do it right. #imsurrounded #firstsnow #newhouse

Had the honor of being presented the Officer of the Year for Brookings county this morning - it took a lot of NCOs to get me here (you all know who you are), but I couldn't be prouder to be recognized by a community that I call home. (at Swiftel Center)

So lucky to get to be with my friends Jethe and Brent to celebrate their wedding tonight - it's been a great day, and I couldn't envision a better end to the perfect Shane Skinner day. Be well, everybody, and enjoy your burrito. #skinnerlovesyou (at El Riad Shrine)

Ran a 5k, walking in the parade, and then off to the game - IT'S GAME DAY!!! (at South Dakota State University)
