HAPPY FRIDAY FROM THE ORCHID SHOW!

Citrus is a such a bright spot for me in the winter, and a special way to celebrate seasonal cooking. I love to embrace tangerines, blood oranges, clementines, lemons, limes, and grapefruit. Each will give an everyday dish a unique bit of zing, making citrus a spectacular way to elevate your weekday cooking.

|
WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN FRESH CALIFORNIA CITRUS?
|
|
Embracing citrus can be as simple as adding beautiful lemon halves and a squeeze of juice to my Mason jar of water. Tangerine or clementine juice, along with halves floating in my jar of water, is a current favorite and simply makes me feel better about life.

|
I LOVE HAVING MY CITRUS WATER EVERY DAY
|
|
Whether you use it in your own water, in your Whole30 mayo, in a vinaigrette along with olive oil, squeezed over a piece of cooked fresh fish, or as a finisher for your chicken piccata, now is the moment to celebrate citrus. Recently the Sumo Citrus people sent me a box of their beautiful Sumo oranges, and they are fantastic!

|
CITRUS IS AN INCREDIBLE FINISHER FOR DISHES OF ALL KINDS
|
|
Supremed grapefruit with avocado and a lovely vinaigrette makes great easy weeknight eating. Going a step beyond the simple, my Whole30 Citrus Chopped Salad, topped by my Creamy Clementine Dressing, is a spectacular way to feature citrus.

Now is the perfect time of year to make my Preserved Meyer Lemons because they last forever in the fridge. The trick is you absolutely must use Meyer lemons! They’re a hybrid citrus fruit native to China—a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid. They have a thinner peel and are less acidic than regular lemons. Once preserved, they are fantastic with almost anything when you want to add a citrusy, briny flavor: a marinade, soup, stir fry, or a fish dish come to mind, but try updating your favorite dishes with a bit of preserved lemon.

PRESERVED LEMONS ARE AN UNDERRATED DELICACY

SOMETIMES SIMPLE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST
|

If you enjoy citrus but find it a bit of a hassle to peel or cut, prepare your citrus at the beginning of the week so it’s ready for you in the refrigerator when you (or your kids) want it.

When Spindrift launched their Blood Orange Tangerine flavor recently, I was on the launch team! I was more than a bit delighted they called it anything but ordinary, and we created this Anything But Ordinary Club Sandwich to pair with it. Not only is it a must do, I’m proud to say it’s the Recipe of the Week!

NOTHING LIKE A SPINDRIFT-INSPIRED SANDWICH!

In this episode of my Table Talks podcast I was joined by Julee Wilson, the first Black Beauty Director at Cosmopolitan magazine, social media influencer, wife, and mother. She’s an incredible manifester whose intention is to create a legacy in which diverse stories around beauty are told. We touch on topics like what she loves to cook, what she’d tell her younger self, how she manifested the perfect trip, Martha’s Vineyard as a Black enclave, generational wealth, freedom, rocking the boat, creating life balance…and one of the best beauty secrets ever!
