What a Night

Oh what a night, empowering to say the least. I had the pleasure of joining several other women who are professionals in their field, on a panel of "For Women By Women," a women's health program at "Tea at Lily's" sponsored by Holy-Cross Hospital. I demonstrated a couple of recipes that were healthy and fresh, Mediterranean Couscous Salad and Roasted Eggplant Spread.

If you ever have the opportunity to go to one of these events I encourage you to do so. Visit the Holy Cross Auxiliary web site or call 954-351-7804 and request a schedule. The program last night was "Stay Fit For Life," something we are all struggling to achieve. The next program is May 27th and the topic is Osteoporosis. Mark your calendars and I will see you there! Be well, be safe, and if you can't be good, be great!

Nothing Better

There is nothing better than waking up to a sunny day and realizing that I get to do my favorite thing (cooking) with some of my favorite people for some of my favorite clients. I have taken on a weekly cooking project for a family in Boca (friends of friends) and I provide four meals for them delivered every week. I have never met them eye to eye, but when you begin cooking for someone you get to know them palate to palate. My cooking class schedule is complete and it should be hitting the press tomorro and at your door later this week. Thank you all for your patience, phone calls, sugestions and ideas. The day moves on and I'd better start playing catch-up.

Good Friday

Good Friday. Good Everyday for me in the kitchen. I have been tip-toeing around in my kitchen for the last couple of months working with someone that was not on the same page of my cookbook. We come from opposite directions on the spectrum. I am self taught and he has gone to culinary school and worked in very structured kitchens. I on the other hand, love the idea of whisking the samba to the beat of a waltz. A new sense of stength and vitality has come over me. I love what I do and do what I love and love the way I do it! It is my passion and my priviledge to cook for all of you. Happy Easter Egg Hunt to you all!

Beautiful Day

A beautiful day to complete the new cooking class schedule. Weeks have gone by where most of my thoughts and ideas about the new schedule have been formulating in my head with only a few notations on pen to paper. For me to create this masterpiece of ideas without an artists block I have to be fearless in the kitchen of my mind. There isn't anything that would not turn out exactly like I created. Sometimes I am surprised, but that just keeps me where I like to be, always smiliing. I thank everyone for their sugesstions, ideas and support. That's the icing on my cake!
