We made breakfast for 20 this morning. Here’s the best part- I set everything out and didn’t even have a chance to take pictures. The crowd DESCENDED on the food! I loved it!! That’s the part of cooking that makes me the happiest! Watching people smile and dish up their choices with abandon! I LIVE FOR IT!! ❤️❤️

I got a couple pics after the first wave went through. So no pretty, glamorous food shots today. Just the aftermath. 😁 If you want to see more, you should probably book a weekend. 😉🤣

On the menu:

Baked French Toast with Whipped Marscapone and Berries

Chilaquile Casserole

Breakfast Charcuterie (Fresh biscuits, Sausages, thick cut Bacon, and Sausage Gravy, assorted jams)

Yogurt & Granola Bar with fresh fruit and Cardamom Honey

Hi everyone! I have an opening in my weekly service as of next week. 😊
Here is an overview of the service:

*Amazing meals made in your home to meet your needs!

* You choose the meals your family wants. No standard restaurant menu filled with things you won't eat. I prepare your meals to YOUR palate, and there is never an upcharge for that!

* Hate grocery shopping? I do that for you. Everything is hand-picked (by ME) the morning of your cookdate. You'll get the freshest and best every time!

* Five Complete Meals! Enough to get you through your busiest week. All made, packaged, and in your fridge when you get home from work. I'll even leave a delicious stew in your Crockpot if you would like!

We also have Three and Four Meal Options available.

*My goal is your 100% satisfaction! I don't just aim to make you happy; I aim to make your meals PERFECT.

Give me a call at 936-232-2681 to discuss your needs. I look forward to chatting with you.

There is just something so pretty about Caprese Stacks. They make me happy! ❤️😁❤️

Whatcha up to, Chef?

Just filling fridges and making new friends!

Not all of my clients are families. Some of my favorites are the single people. Why? Because they appreciate a home cooked meal more than anyone! ❤️

Tonight, we created a memorable six-course Italian birthday dinner for six guests. And yes, I have pictures! 😁😁😁 I'm notorious for getting too engrossed in cooking and forgetting to take photos, but I made a conscious effort to capture the evening's culinary journey. Enjoy the pictures and let me know if they make your mouth water! 😍🤣🤞

Hey everyone! I wanted to let you know that I have this coming Monday open! It’s a great chance to fill your fridge for the week ahead! Who is ready for some home cooked dinners?

If you are like me, and still without power, here’s a good guide.
I keep bags of frozen water in my freezer for events like this. It helps keep it cold just a little bit longer. Also, move some frozen things to your fridge! It will keep that just a bit colder, too. Once it’s thawed, grill it!

Good luck, neighbors! We will be through this soon enough!

Here’s your guide to determining which food items to keep or toss after you lose power:

We had the pleasure of preparing lunch for a local business's meeting this week. It was great to give this hardworking team a superb meal after their meeting, allowing them to relax and socialize without feeling rushed to leave.
If you want to treat your staff to something special, give me a call. I'll handle the catering so you can focus on your business.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the great dads out there! You are appreciated!

Hey friends! Ever wonder what my clients are eating? If so, here’s your chance! This is the menu I sent this week (each client is customized so this was just to one of them):
1. Sweet and Sour Chicken Meatballs overJasmine rice with Sautéed Snap Beans

2. Cajun Stuffed Peppers with
Cajun Seasoned Rice

3. Mediterranean Quinoa Salad (This has arugula, chickpeas, roasted red bell peppers, kalamata olives, and Feta with fresh herbs) with a Side Salad and Italian Vinaigrette

4. Chicken Enchiladas with Spanish Rice

5. Thai Chicken Sliders with Peanut Sauce and Limes, Sesame Roasted Brussels Sprouts on the side

6. BBQ Sloppy Joes with Baked Beans
7. Southwest Turkey Tacos (with corn, beans, and avocado)
and Elote Street Corn Cups

8. Cheesy Mushroom, Spinach, and Chicken Casserole over Garlic Rosemary Noodles

9. Herbes de Provence Chicken Thighs over Basil and Pea Couscous

10. Three Cheese Beef Baked Shells (large shells stuffed with beef and Parmesan, then covered with marinara and Herbed Cream Cheese Blend) and Roasted Parmesan Broccoli

So you can see that my menus are rather diverse. 😁 I love to mix healthy with decadent, hearty and light. No two families eat the same and no two dinners in a week should be a repeat (unless you really love it!). Crafting menus is one of my weird little joys in life. I hope you get an idea to try this week!

And if you thought “Yeah, but I’d rather you just cooked it for me!” You are in luck! I still have one opening! 😁😁😁 Call me!
