One of the first chapters in my Professional Chef textbook from The Culinary Institute of America is dedicated to stocks, soups and sauces. That's because these are the fundamentals, and you need them to build upon. I made this tonight after months of collecting vegetable scraps in my freezer. How beautiful is it?? All from vegetables I had already bought and used for different applications! There truly is something magical about taking proposed "waste" and repurposing it into something ... continue reading...
Slow Cooked Chicken + Beef Meatballs
It's back to school and I can't believe my daughter started KINDERGARTEN! Where has the time gone?

Fresh Corn Chowder
Two years ago, my daughter and I started a small 4x4 garden that was a beautiful labor of love. It had tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and some herbs. It was a modest little garden and it did well. When my second daughter (Emily) was born last May, we had our hands full of another type of love, so we put our garden on hold.
