Grateful to be part of

The students worked extremely hard on their food truck theme, menu and food.

They made everything from scratch in their kitchen facility.

What a great experience all around for the students to showcase their business talents and for me to take part in tasting and judging.

Just wanted to give a little background on what being obsessive with something is like...

My entire life revolves around food.

I mean why would I be making sandwiches for a living if I didn't?

It gets a lot deeper though because with the obsession it isn't just the "virtual" stuff.

Its going shopping for your family and navigating through aisles of items that shouldn't have left the lab.

Its stocking up on items, finding good produce, caselots, preserving, breaking down large pieces, cooking from scratch.

Social Media-creating and watching for some new ideas because cooking for 5 on the daily needs crazy variations.

Making lunches (i want to start a seperate channel for this because my kids are spoiled 💜💜💜)

Meal prepping for gains

Menu planning

It doesn't end, and thats just personal life.

Then there's the business part... we'll save that for another day.

Live your life, find passion in what you do and become obsessed with it.

Never finished

This may be one of the best things I've put together...

It all started a couple of days ago when my kids started asking for lasagna.

So i made lasagna.

Standard route, soffrito, beef, pork and chicken, sauce.

Then i remembered my mom made ravioli with the same mixture, but added spinach. So i did. I also added some diced mushrooms because i love mushroom ragu.

Bechamel of course, but what i did differently was on an episode of . Somewhere in northern Italy they added the bechamel directly to the ragu. With a couple Parmigiano rinds and a bit of tomato sauce.

This was an absolute gamechanger!

Soft, melt in your mouth pasta and such deep rich flavors.
Another difference between how we normally do lasagna is there was no mozzarella added. Just Parmigiano. No string pulls, but the flavor was off the radar... seriously so good. No extra sauce needed.

Might have to add this to the personal arsenal
