  • Our power was out for 11 hours today because of tropical storm Michael. We didn't even get that much wind and almost no rain, but at 5:15 a.m. my husband and I were awoken by what sounded like a bomb and a flash of light, and then the ceiling fan slowly stopped turning. So we had a long, uneventful day followed by the power company finally replacing the fuse that had blown outside our house at 4:30 p.m. . After that I realized nearly the entire contents of my aquarium had siphoned itself out through the filter (30 gallons of it) - fortunately into a large Rubbermaid I have the filter sitting in - but I had to deal with that, finally could take a hot shower and do laundry, and then both large burners on my stupid stove are acting up and are staying on high when I turn them down to low. I'm exhausted. . But this beef stew is almost ready, and it's just the thing I need after this long day. Simmered with red wine and thyme until the meat falls apart in a thick seasoned broth with carrots, potatoes, onions, and tender green peas. Get in my belly. And then bedtime. Recipe is on the blog @pinchmeimeating. . Praying for all those in Panama City and Mexico Beach who had a much, much more difficult day than me yesterday. . . #pinchmeimeating #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #livetoeatnoteattolive #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #hurricanemichael #beefstew #comfortfood #imsotired #longdays
  • One of the things I love about food blogging is that I can have an idea, and just... make it happen. . When I'm not cooking, I love to read. And three of the novels I read this year (without me seeking these out) happened to contain recipes. Not just descriptions of food, but actual recipes right there in the midst of the story! . As I came across these recipes, glanced at them, and moved on to the next paragraph of the story, I wondered ... how many people actually make a recipe they come across unexpectedly in the middle of a piece of fiction? And if anyone was going to, wasn't I the perfect candidate to do that? . That's how #NovelRecipes: Summer Reading You Can Sink Your Teeth Into was born: a collaborative series dedicated to exploring recipes that are included in — not just inspired by — fiction and memoirs. . I put out a call to any other bibliophile food bloggers to see who wanted to participate in this virtual book club with me, and got several fabulous ladies to join me! . Each post in the series will contain a book review and a recipe. And now we've got a month full of novels, memoirs, and the recipes that accompany them coming your way! . So if you love reading... and eating... check out the link in my profile @pinchmeimeating to see the full book list for August! . And if you want to get a sneak peek at the other bloggers participating in the series, visit the profiles of @lemonbabydotco, @whipandwander, @atthetablernr, @onesmallpot, @happyveggieblog, @shuklasujata, and @inspireacreation! So excited to have all these amazing bloggers joining me in this exciting series! . . . #pinchmeimeating #booksandfood #foodandbooks #readingandeating #eatingandreading #foodiebook #readandeat #foodinfiction #summerreadinglist #readinglist2018 #teaandbooks #bibliophile #virtualbookclub #booklist #instareaders #forfoodies #summerreads #booknerds #fandomfood #geekeats #bookworm #foodinliterature #literaryfood #foodinbooks #bookstagram #foodadventures #livetoeatnoteattolive #foodielifestyle #gourmetfoods
  • Here's what I made with that basil from the other day! 🌱Pesto chicken and pasta, 🍅heirloom tomato salad with truffle burrata, lightly dressed with olive oil, salt, and some of the balsamic vinegar we got in Italy, and crostini. . Decided at the last minute to set up this time lapse video while I was cooking. I might do more of these videos in the future, what do you think? . . #pinchmeimeating #pestochicken #wprecipemaker #pestoisthebesto #pestopasta #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #livetoeatnoteattolive #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #freshherbs #freshbasil #homemadepesto #porchgarden #freshlypicked #yardtotable #growyourownfood
  • Pruning my basil plant is a great excuse to make homemade pesto for dinner! I may not have planted a "real" garden this year, but I still have the herbs on my porch stairs, and that's good enough for me for now. . Sometimes you have to give yourself a little grace. Maybe next year I'll have the biggest, most abundant vegetable garden - but at least this year I can still make pesto on a whim! . . #pinchmeimeating #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #livetoeatnoteattolive #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #freshherbs #freshbasil #homemadepesto #porchgarden #freshlypicked #yardtotable #growyourownfood
  • Last night's pâté turned out amaaaazingly delicious!! And with some of the wine jelly from the @trytheworld #chilebox it was absolute perfection. 😍 🍷 I think the total cost of ingredients, brandy included, for the pâté, was about $3. Pretty awesome! (Don't ask me about the cost of the REST of the cheese board! 😳) . Thanks @drizzleanddip for an amazing recipe! Check out my IG story or my story highlights to watch me make the recipe!
  • Tonight is wine and cheese night in the Lindsey household! We got some amazing cheeses and charcuterie from our favorite fromagerie, @goatsheepcow, and I'm trying my hand tonight at making homemade chicken liver paté! See what we got and watch me make the paté on Instagram stories!
  • How's your Monday going so far? Right now I am really enjoying my late lunch at work eating leftover beef-and-sausage stuffed eggplant and saffron pasta sitting by myself on our screened porch at work. ☀ It's 92 degrees and humid as heck, and the sounds of birds and cicadas are filling the air. Nature is not a quiet place in the summer in the South. (Just ask the bullfrog that keeps waking me up at 5 in the friggin morning!!) 🐸 I know a lot of people would rather sit inside but I'm just soaking it in right now, humidity and all, thawing out from 5 hours in our over-air conditioned office. 🍹 The only thing that would make it better is a nice glass of some of this grapefruit rosemary lemonade or some cold fruity iced tea. Or, you know, being on the beach. 💖 Search for the recipe for rosemary grapefruit lemonade on the blog @pinchmeimeating! . . . #pinchmeimeating #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #livetoeatnoteattolive #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #southernstyle #mondayvibes #southernlife #lemonade #rosemary #lunchtime #lifeinthesouth
  • What is your favorite non-cucumber food to eat pickled? Munching on okra pickles yesterday makes me want to whip up another batch of this hot and smoky refrigerator pickled okra! .

  • New pasta drying rack, new photo backgrounds, new batch of homemade saffron pasta... life is good! . Planning to cook this up with some eggplant, bell pepper, pine nuts, and chicken in a day or two. . Recipe for the dish is on the blog (search saffron pasta on the blog @pinchmeimeating), and if the pasta is good, I might add a recipe for homemade saffron pasta later too! . . . #pinchmeimeating #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #homemadenoodles #homemadepasta #saffron #canon70dphotography #pastafromscratch #photobackground #livetoeatnoteattolive #pastafordays
  • As promised, a recipe using yesterday's uncommon herb - Cinnamon basil! I bought the plant at Home Depot because it sounded interesting, but it didn't taste right in the dishes I would normally put basil in. But in this Thai eggplant and chicken stir fry? Deeeelicious! . Recipe is on the blog @pinchmeimeating! Search for cinnamon basil! . . . #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #basil #cinnamonbasil #thaieggplant #stirfry #uniqueherbs #freshherbs #yardtotable #gardentotable #freshbasil
  • Can you name this plant? 🌱I'll give you a hint - its an uncommon variety of a very common herb. One point for naming the family, two points for naming the variety! Aaaaand go! . Check back tomorrow to see a dish that uses this herb! . . #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #wprecipemaker #foodgawker #huffposttaste #foodforfoodies #lovecooking #hautecuisines #gourmetfood #livetoeat #foodadventures #droolclub #cookingathome #saveur #loveeating #foodmakesmehappy #cameraeatsfirst #cookingfromscratch #cookingislove #foodtographer #gourmetfoods #foodielifestyle #herbs #gardentotable #yardtotable #freshherbs #namethatplant #uncommonherbs #freshlypicked
