Whether you're landlocked or miles away from Alaska, the power of Wild Salmon is upon us. My friend @augustisland, maker of @thebreachfilm, just returned from a ten-day fishing trip with @wildforsalmon (from who I stock my freezer twice a year). Mark was telling me about an interview with a fisherwoman on his trip, who said, "This life force comes to You. And it changes you. How can it not? 50 million lives from the womb of the Sea arriving at once. It's like childbirth. The expectation, the long days and hours of waiting - the intense pain and labor - and the joy and satisfaction in the life that has come..." Woooweee! I made this recipe doodle after my trip to Sitka and Juneau salmon country two summers ago, with @rob_kinneen, @alaska_gold_seafood and @wildforageflx. I fell so madly in love with the Salmon world and all it stands for in the wild, that I organized a Wild Salmon Dinner and @thebreachfilm screening at @firelightcamps, cooking a multi-course feast with my boo, @coleycooks. (I will be sharing the recipe for this Foil-Packet Salmon with Lemon, Thyme and Blueberries soon, I promise!) 🐟🍋 Oh, and one last thingy: word has it that @oprah is landing in Sitka any day now, so if you have the heart to mention her in your posts, say "@alaska_gold_seafood would love to introduce you to some salty fisher(who)men!" 😜 Feel the Salmon Power baby! 💃
Have you ever snuggled a baby or mamma goat? It's as amazing as it looks, which is why we're including some goat-snuggling and cheese-tasting at @livelyrundairy as part of a tour with @experienceflx for #Instaglamp2017! So come join me, @mollyyeh and @foxmeetsbear around the campfire at @firelightcamps for the best adult summer camp of your life... all while learning how to Instagram like a pro! (I'll be right next to you soaking up these gals wisdom.) Spots are filling fast - registration and details in link above ☝️. 📷 by @ausavage ⠀ ⠀ #firelightcamps #retreat #winetour #visitithaca #fingerlakes #instaglamp #glamping #glampingretreat #campfirecooking #babygoat #goatfarm #cheesetasting⠀
Today it was just me and Ayla, which sometimes feels easier because my purpose is simple and there's no one I can complain to or lean on (eh hem, @robert_frisch). I just do what I have to do, even when it feels hard or I've only slept a wink. (I have enormous respect for single mammas!) But when it's just the two of us, it's the ultimate practice in being present, patient, and calm. There are tests upon tests upon tests, and Ayla's constantly teaching me to stay with her and not get too distracted with goals or expectations. One of my goals, of course, was to capture a moment together waking up at @firelightcamps this morning; it was Ayla's second time glamping and I really wanted at least one shot for her to remember this special moment, in this special place. During our season, Ayla visits camp nearly every day, and every time, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that she gets to run free in a place filled with magic and nature, meeting people from all over the world, and witnessing her parents and an incredible team of people working hard to create this transformational experience for our guests. In the end, we miraculously got the picture, and this one speaks a thousand words.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #GetOutside #KeepItWild #LiveAuthentic #WeAreTheWild #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #GreatNorthCollective #campinglife #outdoors #glamping #firelightcamps #explorerkids #childhoodunplugged #curiouslittleexplorers #tent #safaritent #visitithaca #fingerlakes #fingerlakeswine #ithaca #iloveny #upstateny #upstatelife #camping #camplife #mothernature #motherdaughtertrip #mompreneur #momanddaughter #iloveyouforever
Registration for #INSTAGLAMP2017 (9/12 - 9/15) is officially LIVE in the link above, with only 16 spots available! 🎉 To celebrate, I made Juneberry Jam & Ricotta Blintzes, inspired by our Insta-counselors @mollyyeh and @foxmeetsbear (copy and paste link for recipe 👉 bit.ly/instaglamp-recipe).⠀ ⠀ I'm beyond excited to announce this epic summer camp at @firelightcamps with these two incredible women and Instagram experts. The idea for #Instaglamp was sparked because I wanted to learn how to improve my own Instagram accounts, a need I'd also heard from countless other small business owners, chefs, and artists. The result is a three-day retreat we've packed with glamping, farms, food, foraging and outdoor activities, during which Molly and Johnna will empower you to Instagram with ease and optimal success. They'll show you their secrets and tips for transforming your Instagram feeds, whether that means expanding your network, building your business, or curating your gallery. This is an opportunity to invest in yourself and manifest your dreams; Molly and Johnna will share how Instagram has helped them do the same. ⠀ ⠀ Don't hesitate to direct message me with questions. I can't wait to gather around the campfire with our first #Instaglamper cohort this Fall! 🔥⠀ XO, E ⠀ ⠀ (PS. If you work with a company, see if they'll invest in you and their social media success by sponsoring your registration!) Event partners and destinations include: @rustyovenpizza @wildforageflx @experienceflx @heartthreadyoga @livelyrundairy @flxdistilling @luckyharebrewing @ithacafarmersmarket #firelightcamps #glamping
The eve of our #Instaglamp2017 announcement is here! Who's awake?! Who's excited!? ME and I'm gonna bet Insta-counselors @mollyyeh and @foxmeetsbear, because we've got an unbelievable retreat for you, including Instagram workshops, campfire eats, wild foraging hikes, waterfalls galore, farm visits and JAM. 🍇 That's right, @foxmeetsbear is bringing some of her special sauce to sweeten the party at @firelightcamps. Tomorrow I'll be posting a recipe inspired by both Molly and Johnna (any guesses from the hints in this picture?) along with registration details! So stay tuned, sleep well and goodnight! 😘 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #GetOutside #KeepItWild #LiveAuthentic #WeAreTheWild #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #LetsCamp #campinglife #outdoors #mothernaturebeauty #glamping #firelightcamps #campcooking #campfire #outdoorcooking #bushcraft #campinglife #trailgating #ourcamplife #ourcampdaily #slowfood #wildedibles #wildforaging #foraging #wildfoodlove #eatwild #wildfood #foodforthought #diginn
I was trying to catch the pond tents at @firelightcamps in the blasting sun this morning, when this dude walked out of his tent to bask in it 🌞. No better way to rise & shine! This September 12-15, this could be your morning view before diving into an extraordinary Instagram CAMP with two of my favorite ladies, @mollyyeh and @foxmeetsbear! Stay tuned, details announced this Tuesday! 🌳⛺️🦅 #instaglamp2017 #instaglamp #firelightcamps #glamping
Weekends are for picnics and parties and potlucks and pans upon pans of food. Hope you're all taking your feasts to the woods (or meadows or mountains or lakes or salmon-filled tides) this weekend! 🌲🍷🍳 To get you started, download the e-book in my link where you'll find all your cast iron care questions answered, plus three recipes to get you cooking right away! Buon apetito 🤗⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #GetOutside #KeepItWild #LiveAuthentic #WeAreTheWild #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #GreatNorthCollective #campinglife #outdoors #mothernaturebeauty #glamping #firelightcamps #outdoorcooking #trailgating #ourcamplife #ourcampdaily #slowfood #castiron #castironcooking #dutchoven #picnic #potluck #minnetonkamoccasins #minnetonkas #feastbyfirelight #forestfeast
Guess what!? I made my first little e-booklet with help from @lifeasastrawberry and some gorgeous images from @vicmasters. Can you guess what it's about? CAST IRON COOKING! 🍳 And I want this incredible #instacommunity to have it as a gift! 🎁 Cast iron is a topic I've become deeply passionate about since opening @firelightcamps, when I was saddled with the chore of resurrecting eight pieces that had been left to rust in our sink... and then had eternal campfires to cook over. But they're also my go-to at home and if you ask Bobby, he'll tell you I'm a stickler for seasoning them after every use. I have an entire wardrobe-buffet-cabinet-thingy dedicated to storing them! This booklet is a one-stop guide to cast iron care and why cast iron is amazing. It includes three cast iron recipes you can whip up at home or at camp, including this Campfire Rhubarb-Rose Crisp in a @barebonesliving Dutch oven (which you can replicate with other berries). 🔥 Click the link in my profile to dive in! 👆And I really would love to hear your feedback, whether it's constructive criticism or praise, bring it on 🤗. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #campcooking #campfire #outdoorcooking #campfirecooks #campfirecooking #campinglife #trailgating #openfirecooking #ourcamplife #ourcampdaily #GetOutside #KeepItWild #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #campinglife #outdoors #WeAreTheWild #LiveAuthentic #slowfood #castiron #castironcooking #dutchoven #grilling #rhubarbcrisp #rose #crisp #barebonesliving @barebonesliving
I am STILL salivating over dinner tonight in the backyard. We bought an 1/8th of a grass-fed cow last fall from @goodlifecider and somehow managed to stuff an impressive number of cuts into our freezer. I was worried we'd never get through it in time to make space for summer berries, but these two steaks were nearly the end of our supply (replaced by 🍓; and yes I like them fire-licked 🔥!). We've had bunches upon bunches of spring radishes and turnips in our @fullplatefarmcollective weekly CSA, so I halved them, doused them in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and added them to the grill for ten minutes per side. They nearly outshined the steak, mostly for their novelty, but their sweetness exploded and was perfect with fire char.
