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.

A grazing table for the lovely ladies at Pure Barre in Eagle. Lots of fun fresh bites for their health conscious clients.

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!

Star/Middleton Joint Fire District Christmas party. Mushroom ragout, braised sirloin, smoked chicken, Lighthouse Inn potatoes, Caesar salad, cheesecake bar and a side of Chief Victor. Every office should have a Victor!

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 little test run for an event this weekend. Pumpkin jam, puff pastry, brie, candied pecans and thyme. So yummy! 😋 🎃

Just won best ribs at MLD’s BBQ showdown contest. Thank you Wolf/Sub Zero for sponsoring me!

Ladies spa day fancy lunchables!

Made these charcuterie boxes for MLD’s annual client appreciation spa day.

Picture your custom logo on the tag for your next event.

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.

06/26/2021

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. ☀️ 🍋

What a great time! Traveled to a beautiful private home on Jug Mountain Golf Course to cater an event for the Idaho BCA’s Gold Key Members.

The menu and tablescape were inspired by lemons and the famous blue tiles of the Amalfi Coast.

*Charcuterie board with cold gazpacho shots
*Smoked Tuscan chicken with lemon, thyme & garlic
*Penne Rossa
*Vegetable Lasagna
*Caprese salad

Finished the evening with lemon hazelnut tiramisu and bête noir.

On my own this weekend...Mr. Tom is off on an adventure.
Hosting my dear friend Carrie for a casual Sunday brunch. This yummy casserole has sourdough bread, sausage, asparagus, spinach, scallions, cheese and eggs. Hearty and delish! Served with fresh fruit, warm pastries and Mimosas, and you have the perfect girlfriends brunch. 👯‍♀️ 🥂 🍊 🍳

And how cute are those flowers? I saw this beautiful arrangement and unique vase at HOPE BLOOMS FLOWERS AND THINGS! and had to have it!

05/03/2021

Back in Star and preparing snacks for the Southwest Idaho Business Alliance. They held their monthly after hours mingle event for local business owners. Helena Marie’s provided the wine, and I provided my “jar”cuteries. Perfect to walk around and mingle with!

Thank you SW Idaho Business Alliance and Ernest Woods, for having me!

After the BCA’s Parade of Homes Tour, the buses came back with guests hungry for dinner! Day 1, Les and Adam provided the BBQ and I gave them sides of coleslaw with cranberries, pecans and Gorgonzola, baked beans with lots of bacon, Mac & cheese, and cornbread muffins.

Day 2 was tacos! 🌮 😋
Les and Adam worked their magic and I made Spanish rice, refined beans and elote “salad”, my spin on Mexican street corn.

05/03/2021

What a crazy week! My fitness tracker said I was on my feet for 13 hours, 3 days straight! The BCA hosted their annual SAM Tram bus, and gave members a sneak peak at this year’s Parade of Homes. My job was to get them loaded on the bus with a warm breakfast to go! Day 1 was breakfast burritos, fruit, and cran-orange scones. Day 2 was breakfast sammies with fruit and morning glory muffins.

04/17/2021

Back in the Wolf kitchen and cooking up a lunch in the steam oven today!

An easy weeknight, one sheet pan dinner of pork loin with veg, and an apple strudel with rum soaked raisins. I love a meal that doesn’t dirty every dish in the house!

😋

04/05/2021

I’m so full! What a fun day and yummy food. Feeding my family makes me so happy. 😊
Blanched asparagus with hazelnut dust, lemon zest and butter;
Rack of Lamb with Dijon, panko, hazelnut, pecorino Romano, and rosemary crust;
Peas with fried shallots, minced mint and bacon olive oil from The Milled Olive;
Mashed potatoes, ham and a beautiful strawberry and spinach salad made by my daughter.
The lemon and hazelnut tiramisu disappeared before I could get a photo. 😂

04/04/2021

What a perfect day to have our family Easter meal outside. Even the garden is showing off in the sunshine. ☀️ 🌷 🐇

04/04/2021

Maybe I’m missing camping, or maybe I got tired of our patio getting smoked out, but I decided to get rid of my BBQ this year and cook with a real fire pit. A little Tempranillo to pass the time doesn’t hurt either.

03/27/2021

Another beautiful event at Sol Invictus Vineyard. This time I had the pleasure of catering a friend’s intimate wedding reception. Loving my new wine barrel charcuterie board. It’s even on a lazy Susan. Snacks that spin, for the win!

Thank you for trusting me with your event, Mercedes and Congratulations!

03/27/2021

A lunch and learn at the MLD showroom...saffron rice with mint, almonds, and golden raisins, sautéed asparagus, red peppers, castelvetrano olives, spice rubbed rack of lamb, and romesco sauce.

First time trying the lamb in the Wolf steam oven. Amazing! Juicy, tender, and no smoke from the rendered fat. I’m sold! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Star’s Mayor popped in to thank MLD for helping get the city’s new Riverhouse equipped with ADA compliant appliances. Or maybe it was for the free lunch? 🤷‍♀️ 😂

03/27/2021

A fun birthday party at Sol Invictus winery in Star.

“Jar”cuterie, brie and fig puffs, caprese skewers, candied bacon, sesame chicken in phyllo, and shrimp with za’atar yougurt on cucumber.

03/27/2021

I’m so behind on posting photos! But that’s a good thing, because it means I’ve been busy cooking. Let’s go back to St. Patrick’s Day at the MLD Showroom in Boise, with a lunch hosted by Wolf Sub Zero.

Greens of Ireland Salad, Irish Stew & Colcannon potatoes.

02/07/2021

Love when I get to feed these guys. Star’s finest!
