Roasted Bone Marrow

Ingredients
• 6–8 beef marrow bones (cut crosswise, canoe or rounds)
• Sea salt (flaky is best)
• Fresh cracked black pepper
• Fresh thyme or parsley (optional)

For serving:
• Toasted baguette or sourdough
• Lemon wedges
• Simple parsley salad (parsley, shallot, capers, lemon, olive oil)

⸻

Instructions
1. Soak (optional but ideal)
Place bones in salted cold water for 2–12 hours in the fridge (change water once or twice).
This removes blood and gives a cleaner flavor.
2. Preheat oven
Heat oven to 450°F (230°C).
3. Season
Pat bones dry. Place upright on a baking sheet or small roasting pan.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Add a few thyme leaves or a tiny bit of garlic if you like.
4. Roast
Roast for 12–18 minutes.
The marrow should be:
• Soft
• Bubbling slightly
• Pulling away from the bone edges
Do not overcook or it will melt out completely.
5. Finish
Sprinkle with more flaky salt and fresh herbs right after removing from oven.
6. Serve immediately
With toasted bread, lemon, and salad.

crispy Rice Paper Cups with Salmon

These bite-sized cups are light and fresh, perfect for a cocktail party or as a light, post workout snack. The crisp texture of the fried rice paper contrasts beautifully with the creamy salmon and avocado filling.

⸻

Ingredients

For the rice paper cups:
• 4–5 sheets of rice paper
• Neutral oil for frying

For the filling:
• 6 oz sushi-grade salmon, finely diced
• 1 small avocado, cubed
• ½ cucumber, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon chives, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• Optional: a few teaspoons of finely diced mango or pickled ginger for brightness

For the dressing:
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• ½ teaspoon honey or agave
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger

⸻

Instructions
1. Prepare the rice paper cups
Cut each rice paper sheet into quarters. Heat oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. One at a time, dip each rice paper quarter into the hot oil for 3–5 seconds—it will puff and crisp instantly. Quickly shape it over a small bowl or muffin tin to form a cup while still warm. Set aside to cool on a paper towel.
2. Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth.
3. Prepare the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine diced salmon, avocado, cucumber, chives, and sesame seeds. Add the dressing and gently toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Assemble the cups
Spoon the salmon mixture into the crispy rice paper cups just before serving to maintain crunch. Top with salmon roe or microgreens if desired.

Halloween-Inspired Arrangement

I wanted to create something elegant yet moody for Halloween, a flower arrangement that feels dark, dramatic, and a little mysterious. Instead of going for the typical orange and black, I chose deep reds, dark burgundies, and muted purples to capture Halloween energy.

Flowers I used:
• Eryngium bunches (those ghostly, silvery-blue spiked blooms)
• Garden roses (deep, velvety crimson — pure drama)
• Jumbo mum balls (dark ruby and plum tones for volume)
• Eucalyptus branches (soft green-gray to balance and frame)

Here’s how I built it step-by-step:
1. Prepare your vase.
Start by greeting your vase, I always do this before arranging! Create a grid on top using clear tape to give structure and help your stems stay in place.
2. Begin with the garden roses.
Insert your garden roses first. They form the base of the design and set that rich, moody tone. Their velvety petals are perfect for creating a dark romantic foundation.
3. Add the jumbo mum balls.
Weave in the mum balls next, their texture adds fullness and dimension. I love how their rounded shape complements the layered roses while deepening the color palette.
4. Incorporate the eryngium.
Add your eryngium stems to introduce contrast. Their cool blue-gray hue gives the arrangement that ghostly edge, balancing out all the warmth and making the colors pop.
5. Finish with eucalyptus branches.
Frame the entire arrangement with eucalyptus. Let the branches drape a bit for a natural, almost overgrown effect.

Happy Halloween 🕯️🌹
