Woke up this morning knowing that I had too much yellow squash and basil. So I made Squash Puppies to go with lunch. Gluten free and vegan! They were kind of a hit 😉

My school's garden team is literally the best and these lettuces are actually perfect. Go team!

Look at my ruby candyyyyyyy! I'm about to get some citric acid to make some sour!

I made kohakutou today because I wanna be a Crystal Gem😭😭😭 this is so fun but now I have to wait for like 3-5 days. They are sorrel flavor and they look like rubies 🤩

I did a lil beef bacon project. Next time I'm going to get beef belly to make it. It's a maple and black pepper bacon. It took a week to make including the curing smoking then chilling. I think we did a great job and I can't wait to do another bigger one! We made BLTs out of it 😋

Someone gave me some sunchokes from their garden yesterday so today I roasted them up, then made creamy Dijon & mushroom chicken and stir fried kale and quinoa. I think it was a win 😋

I was tasked to make a Persian love cake. It's made with almond flour, semolina, orange zest & yogurt. I made lemon rosewater simple syrup to soak it in overnight. Then I topped it with Greek yogurt icing, brown sugar cardamom pistachios & dried flower petals. 😍😍😍 Is this on my menu soon? IDK🤷🏾‍♀️

I saw some corned beef on a reel & realized that it is Corned Beef Season. I made some in my instant pot. I cooked it in stout, horse radish, grain mustard & Dijon, then roasted it in the oven at 400. I drizzled it with hot honey bc why tf not? We ate it with potatoes, rainbow carrots & cabbage.

Made some Greek chicken meatballs full of dill, parsley and oregano 😋 made a Herby cucumber salad and some quinoa with almonds, peppers and raisins.

Being very nice to myself in a world that is aggressively mean. Cod cooked in coconut milk and spices, lavender basmati rice and an arugula salad with onions, golden raisins, blue cheese and a blackberry jam & champagne vinaigrette. All of these flavors seem random, but so am I and it's still 🔥🔥🔥

Lunch today was beef kofta meatballs with sundried tomato hummus, sumac onions and a tomato and cucumber salad, among a few other things 😌

Kinda just wanted some comfy noodly warm goodness so I made tuna noodle casserole with toasted panko and a bag of those lil peas and carrots that lived on the bottom of my freezer.

Doing my best, and never mad when I go to the early morning classes 🙌🏾 now on to feed these young'uns!

I made so many things today! Pita pizza for today, then chicken kebabs, rice, veggies, chicken Alfredo lasagna & beefy cheesy pasta bake for a client, and chicken salad for tomorrow...whew.

I haven't made my ginger beer in a hot minute, but today I had some ginger, some brown sugar and some time. It's a bit sweet and not as spicy as I'd like, but we gonna work with it.

😋😋😋

Just doin' a brunch.

Will they eat these garlic green beans with balsamic glaze? Or will they shade me into oblivion? Stay tuned...😂😂😂👀👀👀

Did my first lil baby pop up today. I decided to do one at the school to test out how I feel about it, mostly because I didn't want to rent out a space away from all my spices and supplies 😂😂😂 I did lemon pepper wings, buffalo wings and yakamein wings (Creole and Chinese flavors!).

Oh hai. I'm cute.

IDK who this is for and this may sound weird but I mix my tuna salad by hand (with gloves!) and the texture is pretty perfect because it evenly distributes the ingredients. So like...knead your tuna? 😂😂😂

Kindegartener: I ate my hot lunch! Me: Even the veggies?! Kindergartner: Yes, Chef! They were yummy! Me: 🥹 They had turnips, rainbow carrots and sunchokes roasted in the oven along with mushrooms, butternut squash, onions and eggplant. With just salt, pepper and olive oil.

Early bird or whatever 🥴☕🧘🏾‍♀️

Hey friends! I'm doing a lil Superbowl wing pop up. Pick up only on Sunday from 12-5:30pm. I'm doing lemon pepper, buffalo & yakamein wing flavors. I'll also have potato wedges, mac and cheese, salads & slaw. I'll be stopping orders promptly on Friday. Info here: form.jotform.com/220897589881...

Look at all this farm fresh produce I got this weekend. These kids are gonna be like 🤔🤔🤔😋

A coffee house style lemon pound cake. 😋😋😋 My order is usually a matcha oat milk latte with a slice of this. Glad I figured this one out. I changed the recipe slightly to include ricotta cheese. It is bouncy, tender, lemony and just good 🙂

It is the club in the kindergarten & Prek today 😂😂😂

BBQ king oyster mushrooms 👑🍄

Beefy cheesey pasta sauce and vegan cheesey pasta sauce. Both have mushrooms, tatsoi from the school garden, carrots, mushrooms, garlic and onion 😋😋😋 Making cheesy pasta bakes for my broke besties ❤️
