Operations "Love in Action" was a success! When you find yourself caring for a loved one in ICU for days on end, it's so important for the caregiver to stay nourished and healthy. Glad to send some special delicious love with these meals!

A delicious and nutritious one pan meal that also becomes the cooking for a delicious quiche!

Well caramelized onions, color bell peppers, fresh kale, and chicken apple sausage all happy together for a cooking meal! Finish it off with some Italian parsley and you are good to go. Serve alone for a low carb option, or with quinoa, potatoes, or rice for a more filling option!

The next morning, whip some eggs, herbs, and milk, add a healthy portion of the sausage pepper mixture, top with parmesan cheese and bake in a GF pie shell! Yum!

Even better when you daughter throws the quiche together, and she baked a side of GF blueberry muffins, she has great taste!

It felt good to be back in the kitchen again after lots of traveling. Preparing some nourishment on this cold and windy Spring afternoon that will last several days and even some for the freezer. Somehow I always end up with a super full pot, I can't seem to make a smaller amount. 😂 Guess it comes from years of making food in large quantities! What do you crave after you have been traveling?

Celebrated this one this weekend and some exciting news during a quick home visit while finishing up her last few months in college! What? How did that happen?

This Strawberry Brown Butter Sponge Cake was ridiculous and so easy and we ate it all. Because when you celebrate its important to eat yummy dessert!

Last week I got back in the personal chef saddle and served a client for Valentine's Day. It was a special gathering at their home with some friends and after a year of way fewer chef events, it felt good to be back doing something that will forever be part of who I am. It all comes back, just like muscle memory reminding me of the joy I find in serving others a delicious menu and watching them sink into the time together making beautiful memories.

Prepping ingredients and taking time to make it all sing, is not something I take for granted especially in days like this. I'm grateful to see something special come together at the end of a oh so hard week. Anyone else?

Valentine's Day Menu
Organic Mixed Greens with Honeycrisp Apples, Feta, Candied Pecans, Cider Vinaigrette (this is ridiculously good and would make anyone a salad lover)

Lemon-Herb Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon (cause we like options and cedar plank, say no more)
Grilled Barrel Cut Filet Spiced Rub, Avocado Crème, Grilled Tomatoes (again ridiculous and a party in your mouth)
Rustic Golden Potatoes, Herbs, Parmesan (cause we love carbs especially with herbs and parm)

Dark Chocolate Flourless Chocolate Cake, Fresh Berries, Vanilla Bean-Brown Sugar Whipped Cream (always end with antioxidants, thank you dark chocolate and berries and if you haven't had homemade vanilla bean brown sugar whipped cream you haven't lived)

All that was left was empty pans and bowls because it was that good. This was my offering and it was well enjoyed by all. Even came back home and made my special someone a little extra with a few substitutions (insert grilled peppers and Ceasar salad) because - LOVE.

Tonight's one-pot meal is brought to you with a few ingredients that could all be cooked together and extras used in several ways. Mexican goodness in a pot :) and it feeds a crowd.

Enjoy on a plate with all the fixings and scooped up with tortilla chips - no utensils needed!

Enjoy in a tortilla as tacos, with all the fixings of course.

Or make it a savory breakfast topped with an egg.

1. Brown 1lb or so of ground beef, turkey, chicken, or soy crumbles with a diced onion and minced garlic. Season with salt/pepper until cooked through and onion is soft.

2. Add oregano, paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander, or whatever you have and mix well.

3. Add 1 c. fresh salsa, 2 c. enchilada sauce (I used green because that is what I had), 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water, 1 1/2 c. rice, 1 can black beans, and 1 can corn. Stir to combine.

4. Simmer for 30-40ish min or until rice is cooked through.

5. Top with cheese, olives, and cilantro (I did half because my husband doesn't like it but I like him 😏)

6. Serve with sour cream, chips, avocado, jalapenos, etc. You get the idea.

I am going to freeze half for later but will enjoy the rest this weekend. Happy cooking!
