Hello again, It’s been awhile!  I had hoped, maybe overly optimistically, that I would continue to post EVERY week after school ended.  I should have made that happen but in the excitement of traveling to see family and the holidays I got out of the habit.  I have been keeping a mental tally of a […]

We are FINISHED!!! Well, at least with classes. After this post is published I will only have a few assisting hours at the school and my externship hours to officially get my professional chef certificate.   It doesn’t feel real, even upon finishing up with our Final Event and Graduation. It feels like I will […]

This week was the last week of regular classes for the Summer 2016 Track at the Natural Epicurean of Culinary Arts of which I am a part. It was our third and final week of studying Macrobiotics here at school. It was the last time we had a creative day where we were able to […]

Hello!   We have had rain rain rain this weekend!  I keep thinking that if we were still in Utah or Idaho it would be snow snow snow!  I decided to try to walk to school four days/week during these few remaining weeks and I texted a friend in Utah to let her know I […]

Hello Hello! I am officially on my Thanksgiving Break from school and I am SO excited.  A cold front moved in yesterday and it even feels like fall here now for a minute at least. A week off with Mr. and Little Plate will be pure bliss.  I couldn’t have asked for a better Thanksgiving […]

Hello! Our third week of RAW has come and gone.   It has been really enjoyable and this week we kept up the pace and made some really yummy things.  I feel like my posts have gotten a bit monotonous lately and I’ll try to spice things up next week :).  I think my whole […]

Hello Again, We took Little Plate Trick or Treating this week, yes, we are normal people ;).  She had such a fun time.  She enjoyed knocking on the doors and getting a little treat from the kind people in the Austin suburban neighborhood we walked around.  At one stop a little girl about her size […]

RAAAAaaaaaawww!  We have finally entered the raw healing cuisine.  I remember when the track before us was in the raw. . . not literally in the raw. . .but going through their raw module 🙂 and a few times they shared some of their yummy food with us.  We were just delighted because we were cooking so […]

This week at school was business week.  We had many guest speakers with a variety of backgrounds come and share insight on what they do and their journey in getting there.  We had bankers come to teach us about small-business lending and how to start on a business plan.  We had a presentation on personal […]

Well Hello Y’all, The weather here in Texas can’t decide if it’s still the height of summer (mid-90s) or fall (56 degrees one evening!!!).  I guess that is coming from a Idaho/Utah perspective though.  It’s exciting to have a few crisp evenings and mornings and the leaves have started to fall.  Pumpkins can be found […]
