We asked new Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor how she likes to spend her time away from work for the latest entry in our Best Day Ever series.

Fun fact: She attended culinary school in Chicago before earning her Capital University law degree, so she's a fan of home cooking.

Her perfect day:

🎵 Music to start your day: I work out in the morning so I need something high-energy — Beyoncé, Afro-beats, or maybe my favorite gospel playlist.

🙏 Morning activity: I start my mornings with prayer and listening to an inspirational message to ground me through the day. I love Sarah Jakes Roberts!

I workout either on my Peloton or at Orange Theory.

🍳 Breakfast: My kitchen is my favorite breakfast spot. I'd choose savory over sweet. I have a multi-generational family at home, and they all love my breakfast hash.

🥓 Lunch: I love a BLT with extra bacon!

😴 Afternoon activity: Does taking a nap count?

🥩 Dinner: The Top Steak House! My go-to is a dry aged NY Strip with a loaded baked potato and asparagus.

🎥 Evening activity: Time with my husband, Corey, and two dogs, Hudson and Arizona. It's rare that we have a quiet night at home, so a movie night with them sounds perfect.
