Thanks for a GREAT cooking class...

I love what I do!!!

A big shout out to Adoption by Choice!

What an awesome group!

We had such laughs, and of course soooo much food...

Thanks for coming out and taking this Tapas Cooking Class :)

The class had barely started and they were already posing for pictures. Lol's

As you can tell...they enjoyed their Artichokes :)

Ohhhhh, and the laughs

As soon as they walked through the doors, the jokes started.

We can't forget about the nicknames, right

"Princess"...hahaha

I know it's looking like we really don't learn much in my cooking classes,

but I promise, along with the joking, nicknaming, laughing and much eating,

there is a lot of hands on cooking and learning to be had

Yummy Asparagus Wraps

The recipe will be at the end of this post

Learning how to plate our Delicious Asparagus Wraps

I think my awesome photographer had a blast with this group.

funny faces, smiles, and poses...what more could you ask for

You guys made my night. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a cooking class yet.

Hope we get to this again for you guys.

An extremely memorable night! And I don't mean in a bad way.

THANKS!!!!

It's groups like this that make me love what I do

Asparagus Wraps

Ingredients:

12 pc’s of Asparagus

1-2 Thin pieces of Steak

Olive oil

1 garlic clove (crushed)

Balsamic Vinegar

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Steam Asparagus and Crushed Garlic to still crunchy. Remove from pan, and shock in cold water bath to stop the cooking progress. (also helps keep the asparagus a nice green colour)

2. Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 350 degress

3. Place piece of steak in between two layers of plastic wrap and pound out thin

4. Take three pieces of asparagus, (3 pieces for each thinly pounded out piece of steak) and wrap inside pounded out steak and secure seam side of meat with toothpick forming a nice little bundle

5. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan

6. Place asparagus bundles in hot pan and sear on all sides. Be sure not too crowd your pan, you will loose some heat

7. Remove from pan, and place on lightly sprayed baking sheet and bake for approx. 5-10 mins depending on desired doneness

8. Remove wraps from oven, and let rest for about 5 mins before serving or cutting into them

9. In the same pan used to sear the bundles, place 4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and simmer until reduced by about half and somewhat thickened

Serve warm with drizzle of balsamic reduction

Until we cook again:)

What's your Culinary Question?

So...it's that time again. I know I wanted to do this post once week, but life has been really busy, so it may not happen that often, but it will happen.
With that said...Ask Away!!What is your Culinary Question?What would you like to ask?
I'll do my best to answer.
Until you ask again :)
ps...stay tunned for pictures and posts from my latest cooking classes. They were a huge hit!!!

Tapas Cooking Class

This class was fantastic!! Thanks to all who attended.

In every class there is a 'class clown', in this particular class I think the 'class clown' was me

:) After introductions, getting everyone comfortable and started on the first of 5 tapas...we were all laughing before long.

Everyone was willing to get their hands right into everything. Especially the men!

So YUMMY, so DELICIOUS, and so MUCH FUN!

Can't wait for our next class.

Julie and Julia. Stay tuned for pictures and update on that class.

A special Thank you goes out to Vanessa Ross Photography for the great images from this great class. Thanks V.
Until we cook again:)

In Celebration of my Newest Service - GIVEAWAY!!

To all of my followers, I just want to say thank you!!
My business mostly thrives on word of mouth, which is why I would like to draw for a GIVEAWAY. Yes...another Giveaway. I love giveaways. :)
My Personal Chef Service is a fairly new Service, so therefore I would like as many people to find out about it. Especially through word of mouth.
Before I tell you what I am drawing for, I'll explain what you have to do to get your name in the draw.
It may get a bit confusing, especially for those who already officially follow me on my blog. Here goes:
If you already follow me, all you have to do is recommend my blog to someone who doesn't and have them follow my blog. Leave me a comment of the person's name you are recommending my blog to, and all they have to do is follow me, and your name along with their name (if they officially follow) will be put in the draw.
If you are new to the blog, and want your name in the draw, all you have to do is officially follow. So easy!
Now...here's where it may get confusing. Word of mouth really is the best form of advertising and this is where everyone in the draw comes in. If you post a blog, or post on your wall on facebook about the company's new service (Personal Chef, Menu Planning, and Kitchen/Pantry Organizing) then your name goes in the draw again. So in total, you can have your name put in twice for the draw. Again, let me know that you've done this by leaving me a comment on this blog post.
Hope that makes sense.
Okay...What is the draw for? It's a big one this time!!
2 Family Meals Prepared for your freezer, consultation and menu-planning session, and some tips on organizing your kitchen so it makes sense. Along with the recipe's in a folder of the freezer meal I've specifically prepared for you and your family.
There it is, the dets on the draw. Help me spread the word...
