What feeds your soul?
Food is Medicine!
As part of my health coach training, I learned the importance of healthy eating. Cooking fresh, local, organic food nourishes not only your body, but your mind and soul as well. If we cook from the heart with love and joy, we are giving the gift of life to ourselves and others. Come join us at the table!
Summer dessert!!!
INGREDIENTS
Strawberry Clafoutis
Ingredients:
· 1 tbsp butter for the dish
· ⅓ cup sugar + 1 tablespoon for the dish
· 10 oz fresh strawberries washed, hulled & cut in half (about 1½ cups)
· 4 medium organic eggs
· 1 organic egg yolk
· ⅓ cup half and half
· 1.75oz ground pistachios (or ground almonds)
· ½ tablespoon Amaretto
· few drops almond extract (or vanilla powder/extract)
· 1 tablespoon almond slivers (optional, for topping)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°
2. Butter a pie dish and top with about a tablespoon of sugar, shaking the dish to spread it evenly. Lay the fresh strawberries over the surface in one layer.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, sugar, cream, ground almonds or pistachios and extract, if using.
4. Pour this egg mixture over the strawberries and if using, sprinkle over some slivered almonds.
5. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked in the middle (it shouldn't sink in the middle). I'd suggest placing the dish on a baking tray to catch any sticky juices that could run out, if too full.
6. Set aside to cool and either serve at room temperature or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Cooking together feeds your soul!
For me, one of the most enjoyable parts of my life is being able to have friends over for a wonderful meal and gathering. I love planning the meal, shopping for the ingredients, cooking up everything to perfection and then watching their smiles as they enjoy a great meal. It's so much better than cooking just for yourself.
But what if you don't enjoy any of that?! Then you need my help. I can work with you one on one at your location to head you on the path to a healthier lifestyle; or you can attend one of my gatherings, which I love to call "Souper Sundays"
These are wonderful culinary classes. I have a limit of 10 cooks per class. In each class we make two soups, one fabulous type of salad, one side dish and a dessert. I have appetizers for everyone before class as well as wine and nonalcoholic drinks. No one leaves hungry!! Each class is designed around the participants and what is fresh, local and organic at the time. I always create the menu to accommodate vegans, vegetarians, gluten sensitivites etc. so I don't firm up a menu until I know what types of people are registered. I may sound vague, but it's the best way to meet the needs of everyone.
Each class starts with an informat chat over appetizers, then cooks are paired in teams of two. Each team prepares one of the dishes according to the recipe and ingredients provided. After everyone is finished cooking we sit and have a wonderful meal together. There is always a parting gift as well. I have women who are great cooks and women who hardly cook at all, but everyone enjoys the energy that comes from women cooking together!
I've offered sessions to Girl Scout troops, book clubs, and at women's retreats. Life is too short to not enjoy cooking and there is magic when people cook together!
