I am always on the search for new cuisine, which in my case isn’t hard. I grew up in the Midwest and haven’t traveled to many exotic or faraway places, so quite a few things are new to me. I did, however, think I had a grasp of Latin food. Until yesterday when we were [...]

I’m still here
Posted in Uncategorized on March 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Wow, has really been almost two months since my last blog? I’m still here and I’m still cooking. I’m starting a new blog specifically designed around my Personal Chef Business and I’m going to use this one for my random ramblings. Everyone has been asking about my business and whether it’s a success. I guess [...]
“Supper”bowl

I’m really not much of a sports fan, I couldn’t even tell you who is playing this year – but I am a fan of a party so bring it on. As far as I’m concerned this Sunday night is all about the commercials and the food. My favorite snack dip is Buffalo [...]
The year of the Ox
Posted in Uncategorized on January 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I was going to do a post about Chinese New year and the year of the ox. I thought I’d celebrate by making Oxtail soup. I saw a wonderful recipe for it with red wine and root vegetables the other day. As I started making my grocery list the thought hit me, The Ox is [...]
“Glore, Golem and Ushpizin” or My date with Troy
Posted in Life, Movie, Reflections, Uncategorized on January 25, 2009 | 6 Comments »
We’ve been going stir-crazy lately. The weather, our limited finance, the constant chaos that is teenage boys has left little time for “date nights”. But Saturday all the stars aligned and Troy and I found ourselves headed to St. Joseph Mo, with time on our hands and 50.00 in our pockets.
We hit a small snag [...]
Here today – gone tomorrow…

I went to the grocery store on Tuesday. I have three teenage boys. Today is Wednesday. That means this morning there were no eggs, no bacon, no milk and a only a couple of slices of bread (one being the heal). So my breakfast this morning consisted of peanut butter (pray for no salmonella poisoning) [...]
America the beautiful!

I was born in 1967 at the tail end of what’s considered the civil rights movement, smack in the middle of the Vietnam War and into the Nixon era. The TV seemed to always be on in my house and the news was never good. Even though I was young, I will have [...]
Ricky Raccoon meets his demise at 39th street

One of the benefits of hiring a Personal Chef as opposed to a Caterer, is that I customize the menus specifically for the client. I will cook whatever you like. No onions? No problem. Gluten-Free? Absolutely! You want me to use your grandmothers meatloaf recipe with oatmeal and topped with ketchup? YUCK, but I will [...]

As you can probably tell by my lack luster posts, I am crazy busy right now and just don’t have the time or the brain power left to blog this month. I hope to start again in January. (I know you will be waiting with baited breath) Come out to our show at Davey’s on [...]
