#porkchops

It’s not easy to close your eyes while cooking over a hot flame – and I hope that you’re not thinking of trying it anytime soon. Active meditation is more like my thing.

I made a mental list of things that I’m thankful for and it brought me into a lighter mood. Does it remedy all of my worries? Nope. But it damn sure eased a lot of the rapid thoughts that ran through my head.

Most of us are freaked out over being stuck in a house when someone would gladly take our boredom. Let’s never take for granted that there’s a population out there worried about their safety, next meal and a home long before COVID-19.

Remember to check in with your kids and actually listen to them. Every person is processing this differently daily. And if you have a significant other, remember to not kill each other in this process. 15 minutes of quiet time and separation, even if in another room HELPS.

Reserve your peace in whatever way possible. Just stay home as much as possible while doing it.

Yesterday’s Dinner:

Mexican Spiced Pork Chops | Smoky Red Bean Chili | Sauteed Green Beans + Cherry Blistered Tomatoes | Spanish Spiced Rice + Soccorat

I’ve been asked if I’m transforming my Instagram into a food account and this makes me chuckle.

For those who are unaware, I run a blog called Running Fat Chef – a self ran food and fitness blog about being a fit + fat athlete.

In short, the answer is no. I’m not turning my IG into a food account. This is literally me sharing layers of myself. If you’ve been following me long enough, this is nothing new; COVID-19 gifted and cursed us all with a bit more home time. I hate most takeout and I’m a light control freak when it comes to flavors.

Besides, most athletes love eating a dope ass meal after pushing their bodies to the limit. Some of us like more than salt, pepper and water.

If you’re looking for a space where I talk about food like I love it and want to skip the diet commentary b/s, check me out. It is a space where I can combine my previous career as a sous chef in restaurants, life as a food photographer, food stylist, catering and corporate dining to my semi new career in fitness.

And anyone who don’t like it better shut up and eat these mashed potatoes honey.

Yesterday’s Dinner: Seared Pork Chops | Mushroom + Garlic Pan Sauce | Roasted Corn on the Cob | Herb Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

Being home is forcing me to dust off some old knives and get deeper into my culinary roots. It makes me miss the industry so much. In the meantime, my family members are the only customers being served in my kitchen.

Tonight’s Menu: Soy Marinated Pork Chops • Asparagus • Green Beans • Vegetable Fried Rice
