The weather in the east coast has finally reached a temp where it’s a little uncomfortable to be in the kitchen. So, salad it is.... Spicy avocado Caesar dressing over romaine hearts, rotisserie chicken, manchego cheese, and toasted / spiced pumpkin seeds. #shredded #gains #glutenfree #lowcarb #chefjames_m #keto #ketoweightloss #paleo #chefsofinstagram #cheflife #food #foodporn (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwE-ShpB1gC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3m29qy194kf4

I wanted to give a shout out to Pappy’s Urban Farm in Fayetteville, NC. Pappy’s is a Veteran owned and operated farm and is promoting local, and sustainable produce in the area. I am happy to announce I will be using their produce in support of my farm-to-table efforts and partnering with other veteran owned businesses. To find out what is currently being harvested follow them @pappysurbanfarm or https://m.facebook.com/pappysurbanfarm On tonight’s menu, I showcased some of their microgreen produce. Their pea tendrils were fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. On the plate up we have a pan fried breast of chicken, sweet potato & chorizo with a saffron velouté sauce. #chefjames_m #pappysurbanfarm #farmtotable #southernpinesnc #whisperingpinesnc #pinehurstnc #aberdeennc #veteranowned #cheflife #foodporn #food #mooreeats #moorecountychef (at Southern Pines, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JaBlgngtq/?igshid=ew8gvl0d4c8a
