Up And Runnin'...

Holy whirl wind of a week! I have the first week under my belt and things went pretty well. Thank you so much to all my fabulous customers from last week. I truly hope you enjoyed your food as much as I love preparing it.

Someone asked me how I come up with the menus and recipes, the truth is I don't know. Just like a photographer can look at a particular location and have vision and inspiration that's kind of what I do but with food and recipes. The meals I make are not necessarily original, or fancy they are just what I feel like eating that week. I remember my first trip to Seattle and Pike Place Market... OH MY GOSH I could live there.

This was the MOST beautiful sight to me. I know it's lame to most people, but this gets me excited, this gets my mind running and thinking of ALL the things I can create. I would have stayed all day and shopped and then ran home to create yummy things, but we were staying in a hotel. Ingredients are inspiration to me and sometimes recipes and ideas come as easy as walking into a grocery store. Other times I get stuck and look through magazines, or on the Internet. Sometimes inspiration comes with a change in season which was partly the case for this weeks meals.

While thinking of the menu for the upcoming week I've had a couple thoughts running thru my head, the first being my Mom Margie, who has taught me the love of cooking. When I think of her, I of course think of Mexican food because that's my heritage, I know blonde hair blue eyes- who'd ever believe it? It's what I grew up on. It's what I craved when I was pregnant, and what I turn to when I need comfort. Nothing cures a bad day like fresh tortillas... I remember, when I was in High School, begging her not to make it because then our house would "stink" like Mexican food, and now when I walk up to her house and smell that "amazing stink" of Mexican food, I know I'm home.
My second thought this week is I want something easy to prep for Tuesday because I have so much to do to get 6 people out the door for baseball on Wednesday. So here it is next weeks menu...

Monday March 11-
     Margie's Famous Tacos with Rice- Beef tacos in handmade tortilla shells (these will be prepped for you but you will need to fry at home) Lettuce and tomato provided.
**You may want to have on hand, oil for frying, cheese, salsa, or sour cream, or any other toppings you like $25


Tuesday March 12-
      Cheese Tortellini in Basil cream sauce with Grilled Chicken and Italian green beans also comes with a fresh loaf of Homemade Bread- This is a fairly light dish despite it's name. The basil, yellow bell peppers and Italian green beans make this a great dish to welcome Spring! $25
