Chocolate Cake baked with a speical little lady!

 Growing up chocolate cake has always been my favorite treat! Anyone who knows me knows how much I just love chocolate!!! This little girl Meadow whom I baked some chocolate cup cakes with also loves chocolate!!!! Her Auntie was so sweet to surprise Meadow with a one on one baking class with me. We had a great time!! Meadow wasn't able to celebrate her birthday on the day this year because of her Uncle's health. Her Uncle had heart surgery that put things on hold a little for her family. Her Aunt was telling me of how much they have gone through and she wanted to do do something special for Meadow. I was touched by their story and felt very blessed to be apart of making such a special little girls bday wish come true. It is amazing how cooking and baking can bring people together! Kim said Meadow's Auntie was telling me of how much kindness was shown to them through baking from their neighbors while her husband was going under heart surgery, their hearts were touched so much by the out pour of people love for them through cooking and baking!

You may never know how much it may mean to someone if you simply share you passion for cooking with them, it truly is an act of kindness that will always be remembered.

I encourage you today fine a recipe you like and bake a little extra for your neighbor or friend it might be just what they needed, something sweet to eat and a memory to cherish and  remember. It's always nice I think to find ways to brighten someones day and the amazing thing is it brightens your day in return!

Meal planning made easy!!!

Bins filled with healthy ingredients and recipes for the whole week! What could be easier  than that?
This week working with my client Sarah, mom of three children under the age of 6, finds she has a lot more time on her hands. Sarah hasn't had to go grocery shopping every day to try to figure out what to make for dinner and she really likes that!! This system works out great!! I have been keeping her weekly budget of grocery shopping at under a 100 dollars for the whole week. I pick up her groceries, prep a meal with her and set her up with all of my recipes inside these awesome bins. Wouldn't you love to have more time on your hands to do what you enjoy rather then trying to answer that dreaded question of what's for dinner?

This weeks menu
Quinoa Curry vegetable stew
Steak with baked potato and garlic butter BBQ corn on the cob
Lean beef bean vegetable sloppy Joes
Orange ginger garlic chicken with stir fried kale and peppers
Tilapia fish tacos with mango avocado salsa

If you need a little help  meal planning and grocery shopping. I would love to help make life just a little bit easier with my meal planning system.

Enjoy for the perfect snack!

Client testimonial from working with me




Andrea has been a huge help to me. It was such a blessing finding her after I had my third child. Meal planning and grocery shopping was such a chore and it's been so much easier having the Andrea bring groceries to the house and prep them into bins for dinners for the week. It's eliminated those fights with my husband that started with me asking him "what do you want for dinner?" with the response always being "I don't know".  I would highly recommend Andrea if you're feeling overwhelmed in the kitchen, or giving her services as a gift for a new mom instead of the usual rattles or clothes that they grow out of in a couple weeks.

Sarah


 




I do feel very blessed to have met Sarah and to be able to help her with meal planning for her wonderful little family.
Sarah, my client and I have come up with this amazing system of using bins filled with the ingredients for each meal of the week including the recipes. This system is working out wonderfully! Imagine having  fully prepped healthy meals that are ready to be cooked for the week in your own organized 

fridge. You can and I would love to help!

Sincerely Andrea
