A riff on the iconic Chicken Marbella with dried figs and olives that I developed for Valley Fig Growers! It’s a deceptively easy dish to make that's bursting with sweet, savory, tangy, salty, briny and garlicky flavor! Grab the recipe on their site: https://valleyfig.com/dri/chicken-marbella-olives-and-figs/

2 of my all-time FAV things in life: Anik-a-licious and Olive Oil!!! Created this Olive Oil Cake with Balsamic Glazed Strawberries, Ricotta and Cornmesl for Filippo Berio Olive Oil US! Recipe on the blog! #sponsored. https://wavesinthekitchen.com/olive-oil-cake-with-strawber/

It’s the Marvelous Miss Maisel Salad Board I created for Earthbound Farm as part of their May #saladsunday campaign! Think late ‘50’s/early 60s NYC diner/deli classics. Had an absolute blast developing this recipe and pushing myself to get all sorts of creative in the kitchen!

Reason no. 700, 841,152 that I’m absolutely positively lovin’ living in LA: they sell pretty pink celery at the farmers market here!!! Naturally, I went straight from the farmers market to paint my nails pink to match my celery! And obviously I then put on my gold jewelry to play with my pretty pink celery and nails!
