Danielle’s Digest: Week of 5/1/16

[ssba]

Hello friends! This past weekend I got to be a part of Mom2Summit which is always so inspiring and I even got to work on a few more recipes in the kitchen which felt so good! You can see more of what we've been up to and the meals we've been enjoying down below!

My_favorite_part_about_this_book_is_that_these_menus_can_be_usedMy favorite part about this my newest book, Celebrations is that these menus can be used for special occasions but can also be broken up or mixed and matched for every-night meals too!

Enjoyed_an_inspiring_conversation_today_w__ritawilson__mom2summit__mom2summitI enjoyed a really inspiring conversation with Rita Wilson and a group of incredible women at Mom2Summit about family, blogging, maintaining authenticity and passion in what you do, and being a working mom.

A_few_burned__because_kids__but_these_duck_fat_and_sea_salt_sweet_potato_friesA few burned (because kids) but these duck fat and sea salt sweet potato fries were so good. I'll work on getting a recipe up on the blog for you all to try! 

Dinner___Ketchup_recipe_is_linked_in_my_profile._And_the_fries_I_ll_work_on_postingThis is one of my favorite dinners. A simple lettuce wrapped burger (grass-fed beef, EVOO, salt and pepper), topped with pickles, avocado, bacon, my “special sauce” that will be in my new book and my homemade Ketchup. All alongside those sweet potato fries!

I threw some of the leftover sweet potato fries into a scramble with cremini, bacon, and kale. The trick is to fry up the potatoes until crisp then take them out of the pan while you cook the eggs so they don't get soggy.
