It was just a matter of time…COVID finally caught up with me. My symptoms are VERY mild but I’m isolating regardless. Mr. Tom is off on an adventure in Mexico, so I’ve had ample time to play in the kitchen. Just a few things I’ve been cooking up…

Look for me at the February Star Chamber of Commerce luncheon. I’ll be cooking up something special for Valentine’s Day.

Warm sticky buns, fresh from the oven. Soft, airy and not too sweet. Perfect accompaniment to a savory breakfast bread pudding and super thick sliced maple bacon on this snowy Christmas morning.

Last catering gig of the season! This one was near and dear to my heart. I had the honor of feeding the American Legion Middleton Post 39. They dined on mushroom ragout, roasted pork loin, cheesy potatoes, Caesar salad and cheesecake. Special thank you to my helpers, Mayor Chadwick and Councilwoman Salmonsen for pitching in with serving!

Thanksgiving was just last week right? I’m so behind on posting! After catering a German themed party for our Star Police Department and their families, it was time to feed my own family. This year I deconstructed the turkey, stuffed and trussed the breast and cooked it on the smoker. Delish!

A dinner benefitting the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. One lucky bidder won a chef prepared dinner for themselves and guests.
A lovely and lively group came to the MLD Boise showroom for a summer party.

It’s been a busy week! Starting with a “Fiesta de Fifty” birthday party for the Mayor of Star.
I made a burrito, tacos, and nachos table with beef or chicken options and lots of toppings.
Day 2 was a lunch & learn in the Wolf kitchen at MLD in Boise.
Day 3 back at MLD for a crawfish boil for 60.
Today I cooked for a bridal shower for a dear friend’s niece and her fiancé. A large grazing table with bites, charcuterie and assorted cool salads on a very hot day. The bride‘s father said my presentation was over the top.
Just the compliment I needed at the end of a long week.

Back from our beach vacation on the island of Vieques, PR and have a crazy week ahead! 5 events to cook for in the next 7 days, starting with this one…

Pure Barre of Meridian did a class at our beautiful Star winery, Sol Invictus Vineyard.

After a tough workout in extreme heat, the guests enjoyed wine and some adult “lunchables”.

There were a lot of goodies packed into every box…Brie, Gouda, two kinds of goat cheese, a salami river, crackers, chocolate, candied orange, date, fresh fruit, olives and nuts. The perfect little snack to go with some beautiful Star wines!

Thank you Denise & Karen for letting me be a part of this event.

Catering is fun, but cooking for family is the best. We hosted our daughter’s baby shower (first grand baby *squee*).
All things blue, “diaper” napkins, wooden blocks that we decorated with markers, lego containers filled with jellybeans and Hot Wheels cars on the table. Our son-in-law created a cocktail for the event, blue Paloma’s, that we served in juice pouches...virgin for Mom, of course!
We can’t wait for “Walter” to arrive!

Special thank you to these three people:
My Sous Chef, Anthony Mendoza.

The event planner for all things fabulous at MLD, Kari Anderson.

And my favorite bartender, Aaron, who collaborated with me on a signature cocktail for the event.
Lemon flavored San Pelligrino, Lemoncello, Vodka, and a splash of club soda. Perfectly refreshing in the heat. ☀️ 🍋
