Obsessing Over Taste

I happen to be one of those people who dream about food. I dream of recipes, presentation, ingredients, Farmer's Markets, and events. The science of creating mouth-watering meals from raw ingredients is an obsession of mine. There is nothing in the world like the look of surprise on someone's face as they bite into something that tastes better than they ever imagined it could. The sound one makes when comfortably full. You know, that satisfied sigh..."Whew!" This week, I am seeking ways to impress the brave ones who have recently returned from war-torn countries and haven’t had a decent meal in what must feel like forever. So I have been going through my recipe Rolodex to pull up some of my best tastebud stunners. I have developed a kinship with using my crockpot to turn average meals into unforgettable opportunities to connect with my customers. Dishes like Short Ribs and Gravy over Smothered Potatoes, Lasagne with 4 Cheeses, Brisket that melts in your mouth, Chicken Pot Pie with Garlic-Cheddar Biscuit topping, The possibilities are endless.

The next time you are in the mood for some sustenance that is more than just the sum of its parts, but a chance to excite your mouth, just give me a holler! I love to serve these fresh, homemade delicacies. Isn’t it time for you to sample some love on a plate?

Stay tuned as I continue to feed your “Appetite for Flavor”.
