Do you like delicious food? I do....

Some of you may know, some might not, but my sister Molly lives with us! She was working seasonally as a chef in Alaska, and then New Zealand, and then Alaska again.

We love having her live with us because her and Annie get to be so close and I have someone to talk with during the day! :-) She has such a servant's heart and does whatever she can to make our lives easier. She is constant entertainment for Annie and my favorite errand-running, breakfast-eating, and coffee-drinking pal.

She moved back in October and has been looking for the right job while trying to pursue some of her passions while she has the time. Two things she really wants to do: 1) help those without job skills get jobs in the food industry- she wants to create and teach a culinary program for refugees, immigrants or anyone without these skills that needs them to get a job. This will be another post! 2) have her own cafe.

So since December, she has catered a bunch of special events for people and had the idea to start her own online cafe. Molly's style of cooking: she has the capabilities to do super fancy things that I don't even know how to pronounce, but she's practical, too, for those of us who are commoners in the food department. This week was Turkey-Tamale pie. Lean ground turkey, baked with mexican spices, corn, bell peppers, onions and beans and topped with a cornbread crust. Served with marinated vegetable salad. For dessert, Zucchini-Apple cup cakes with white chocolate frosting. Really moist and rich, with adorable packaging for gifts.

She cooks really healthy and makes it delicious for even J!

Next week is:

Lemon- Herb Chicken Piccata
topped with a savory saute of artichoke,
sweet onion, mushrooms and capers.
Served with whole wheat penne &
Side of roasted seasonal vegetables
Old Fashion Lemon Bars

She features a meal/ per week that you can order and she will deliver it to you. There are some really cool features on the sight where you can vote for stuff for her to make the following week.

She also has other services available like office catering, events, etc. It is also great if someone you know needs a meal, but you don't have the time. She makes it and delivers it for you! Check it out!
