Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!💖
The most rewarding, fun, some times challenging, life changing in the best way, part of my life.
I was at one of Ernie’s baseball games the other day and thought… this is more stressful watching him steal bases than a cooking competition. Just because I want him smiling and happy as often as possible. And I want to help make the best choices for him in life.
It’s a lot. But as with everything, as a mom, just try my best every day 😊
And the reward? A great kid that makes me smile and hopefully grows in to a kind and happy man.
Be proud mommas!!
Of your kids…and of YOU!!
❤️❤️❤️
Morning at the hotel gym
30 days till Hyrox
On the road all but I think 7 of those days🙃
Last few days I started questioning if I should skip it this time around. Feeling like I’m in less condition to compete than I was before the last race in February.
But then I reminded myself that giving up will feel way worse than going and just finishing. I don’t need to be faster or stronger this time around. I just need to show up.
So whether it’s pushing myself at a hotel gym or finding time for f45 or just going for a run outside…. Gonna keep on keeping on 💪
Plus my cheerleader Ernie is pumped to get to NYC for his first time! Seems a great way to kick off his summer☀️🌇

Tacos, anyone? For May’s Recipe of the Month presented by @beefitswhatsfordinner Chef and Little League mom, @stephanieizard makes the most of fresh flavors with a perfect, pickled pineapple salsa. Now say that 5 times fast.
Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. is the official sponsor of the perfect home plate. Find this recipe and more at the link in bio. #beeffarmersandranchers #llws
Just hanging with my long time friend, Rhan Whang, who was part of the goat family for over a decade, running the show at girl & the goat, before moving on to open Noriko!!
Such a proud mom feeling to see Rhan’s succes! I feel fortunate I can text Rhan to snag a seat @norikochicago when I’m craving because it’s always booked 😊
So tasty. Great vibes. Just a great spot!
So what are we doing at Little Goat?… It’s fries with friends time again!
Starting May 1 you can come try Rhan’s RAMPage Fries 🍟
So full of texture and flavor. Plus this collab hits right at the peak of ramp season!
Me and my french fry addiction are just loving these fry collab photo shoot days 😜
Thank you Rhan!!!
So proud of you and happy for you!
The best thing about writing a cookbook with a bunch of treat your body right type recipes?
I can go straight from gym to recipe testing and tasting and feel even better afterwards.

@cubs game last night with my main squeeze.
Always fun to loudly and proudly rep chicago at Dodgers stadium 😊
His voice was pretty muffled after that final video if him at the game Friday night when we flew the W! 🎉
Tiny Goat Chicago last night with all star Goat team all in the kitchen together. 🥳 Love when my chefs from around the land all get to hang together and just do some cooking.
Fun menu that was all about ramps! Always love having another outlet to try new dishes or bring back old favs.
Ramp pancakes (like Ernie’s fav scallion pancakes from @duckduckgoatchi ) with fennel salad with shrimp and ramp goddess.
Duck tartare with ramp greens and popiah
Ramp marinated halibut with cashew butter + cashew salsa macha + asparagus
Lamb shoulder ribbon skewers with mole and grilled pickled ramp-rhubarb relish
All. The. Ramps.
Perfect spring kickoff!
Thank you to all the fun guests that joined us! ☺️
Until next time….
New dessert day always makes me happy!😊
I do have quite the sweet tooth, though always trying to make desserts that are sweet enough to satisfy but still balanced with acid and savory notes.
Blackberry-basil sorbet and macerated blackberries bringing the acid on top of my favorite cakes...
It’s like butter cake and cheesecake had a baby. Then a little basil whip to finish it off.
Spring in a dessert for sure.... 🫐 🍓 why is there no blackberry emoji 🙃
On menu @girlandthegoatla !
PS yes second attempt at post since first one was in black & white 🙃🙃🙃
Something new this way comes…. Well, I should say some thingS…. and i look pretty excited about it 😊
Out and about with the team in LA, wandering through a few of the amazing neighborhoods, as we start working on the next west coast goats!
@girlandthegoatla is coming up on our five year birthday, which is hard to believe!
It’s time to see what other fun we can have out here 🎉
More to come soon…
Thank you social media Jen for capturing some random candids of us
Looking back at the grand tasting this past weekend @pebblebeachfoodandwine with @lexususa
Tasty bites and beautiful cars with fun folks all around. Plus a visit from fellow Lexus culinary master @chefshota
