FOOD & MUSIC. http://www.glamglare.com Some might remember my DIY kits with organically grown pickling spices, hence the name Spices & Jars. Please enjoy.
Now, I'm using this space to feature photos of dishes I cooked and plants I grew on my balcony.

Happy New Year! How about some immunity-boosting dishes? Raspberries and blackberries, together with some almonds, are a great too choice to brighten up your day and body. Add a little Greek yogurt, and voilá! ready is your afternoon mood booster.
* raspberries: high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, vitamin C, vitamin B.
* blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries: high antioxidant capacities thanks to their anthocyanins and polyphenols.
* almonds: high levels of vitamin E.
Merry Christmas 🎄✨ Happy Holidays 🎄✨
This morning, I decided to treat myself with the sun so beautifully shining into the room. I made a quick spinach & cheese omelet, took my coffee, and sat by the window. I snapped a photo to say 'hi' to my love Oliver, who liked the photo, and that's why I give it a go here. Happy 😘

Happy Thanksgiving! This is last year’s celebration. This year, we’re out and about at the Upper East Side, letting Dorrian’s do the cooking. 😍🦃✨🗽
Whats for dinner? How about pork chops (raised w/out antibiotics from ) and shaved parmigiano over arugula w/ a balsamic drizzle? Sounds like a restaurant dish, no?
Happy National Pickling Day! This is from October 30th, 2013 but I am still a huge fan of and pickle all sorts of veggies all the time. Do you like pickles? What's your fav?
This lovely salmon could go for lunch or dinner, but I've made it for a Saturday breakfast recently with coleslaw and a soft-boiled egg. Great start into the day! 😎
What an unexpected gift! Warm temps and sunshine ☀️ this morning in which means ☕️on the balcony. Happy Sunday and (sadly)
So simple and so good: pasta with chanterelle mushrooms 😍🍝 🍄
In my case low carb and calorie shirataki noodles and lots of parmigiano. That is one favorite fall recipe!
Happy Halloween! 🎃✨💛
What's cooking for dinner? How about some sustainably caught swordfish with a mediterran kick? I love to mix seafood with the earthiness of mushrooms, olive oil and oregano. And of course tomatoes. 😍🍅Happy weekend!

From a journal entry by New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield: "If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools. With mushrooms it is so simple—you salt them well, put them aside and have patience." There's more, search for it! 🧡🎃🍄

Celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary and I. We kicked off the weekend with amazing oysters and a charcuterie board on Friday and will have New York strip steaks tomorrow. Life is too precious to not enjoy good food!

The surprise effect and the very careful selection of fresh, organically grown produce is what makes me love the Hepworth Farms boxes so much. This one is especially nice with some of my ultimate favs like: cauliflower, tomatoes and lettuce (both are so full of flavors!), rosemary (my fav herb), Swiss chard, kale, and Oliver Bouchard's favorites like carrots and peppers. Not to forget the always inspiring and super lovely letter the veggies & co. come with :D
Any favorites of yours in here? !
Good morning! A day for me starts beautifully with a little fresh spinach, mushroom, tomato and one egg omelette, fried in a teaspoon of olive oil. Add a dollop of sour cream and I’m really happy. 😎 🥬🍄🍅🥚
Happy Monday! Didn't find much info about MItch Griego who this quote is attributed to but I definitely like it. How about you? xo
Still dreaming of our little Saturday afternoon picnic. Fall colors 🍁🍂🍁in New York City are in full swing, cheers! Lovely rosé🥂from
What about Happy Hour?! 😍 Cheers! 🍷🍷
How’s your relationship with summer? ☀️ I seem to not be ready to let go! And my tomatoes are ripening along still nicely too. (Today’s bounty incl. The rest of the 🌿) — Did you know that tomatoes in the 16th century were grown as ornamental plants and not considered ‘food’? 🍅😎🍅🍅🍅🍅
I was on a low-carb break throughout my birthday getaway. Kicking low-carb off again this morning with a two-egg omelet fried in a little olive oil, topped with Swiss cheese, two small tomatoes and oregano from my balcony garden, and a dollop of sour cream. *yum*
How was your Monday so far? Wishing you a wonderful start into a new (work) week and remember: moderation is key.
Today's quote comes from the American author and educator Ben Yagoda with a photo of my balcony grown hot peppers.
Happy Birthday from in
This one’s for but also for the upcoming weekend as I intend to enjoy some sparkling wine 🍾 at sunset 🌅😎 - Fire Island, New York 📸12 years ago.
Yesterday’s dinner which I prepared in the morning so all the flavors have time to mingle and to settle. Basically, I wanted to use all the lonely veggies I still had laying around like: peppers 🌶 🫑, zucchini, 🧅, 🥕, 🧄, plus some 🫒oil, 🍃 , 🧂, pepper and curry powder. The result was more delicious than this maybe looks like! 😍
Happy Monday! Have a wonderful October. xo
How was your lunch? This was mine, with the lovely tomatoes and sisho (herb) from the farm share box. The basil was my own. Delicious! 😍
Summer is on its way out, sadly! Squash is about to take over. Luckily, I still found lovely tomatoes and lettuce in this week’s organically grown farm share box, including some other goodies. And of course their inspiring produce information letter. I ❤️all of this! 🗽✨
Happy National Coffee Day! How was your first or second cup of this cherished liquid? Mine was exquisite. When at home, I like to brew a cup with freshly ground organically grown and fair traded Sumatra coffee beans. What a delight!
Originating in Ethiopia, the coffee bean quickly traveled far and became worldwide success. No surprise here, coffee is the world's most popular beverage. Enjoy!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good start into a new work week 😎
Quote by American novelist Tiffanie DeBartolo 💫
Never a dinner without a fresh salad. Either as a (big) side or the main dish. This is yesterday’s salad from the lovely cornucopia by : organic red leaf lettuce & cucumber 😍
What a beautiful cornucopia from via 😎 half of the veggies made it into delicious dinners already (the lettuce was sublime!) and the rest follows tonight and tomorrow. Fresh, organic food - fantastic!
It's and with that time for a little time travel. This is on the rooftop of our former home in Williamsburg, summer 2012. Ten years ago.... definitely a different time!
Whether you’re team botanist (FRUIT🍅) or team nutritionist (VEGETABLE 🍅), I am sure you're not indifferent about summer's best bounty! Yes, I *am biased because I ❤️ tomatoes as you can see here.
These delicious beauties (organic!) are from one of my recent boxes.
What are tomatoes to you?
How was YOUR Monday? Have a really great week! 😘
