From Red Bags to a Little Practical Magic…What a Week! ❤️
If you peeked inside the My Chef Steph kitchen this week, you’d have seen a whole lot of cooking, laughter, beautiful food, wonderful people…and a ridiculous number of dishes! 😂
Monday and Tuesday started with Red Bag deliveries. Scratch-made meals heading out the door to make dinner easier for the families we love feeding. ❤️
Then came cooking classes!
First, a Mediterranean evening with familiar faces, fabulous flavors, and plenty of laughter. Then a French Mediterranean adventure with another wonderful group of couples. Croque monsieur, cassoulet, chicken Francese, lemon ricotta cake…oh my goodness, we ate well!
Friday brought our Mini Soulful Supper! 🍂
A beautiful fall gathering with whipped feta and roasted potatoes, autumn salad, slow-cooked beef over creamy Parmesan grits, and warm apple crisp.
And in true party fashion, a few more guests than expected! 😂 A little rearranging, another table, and everyone had a seat. Because there’s ALWAYS room for one more at our table. ❤️
Saturday was a little of everything!
A fully loaded Thanksgiving dinner for a longtime client with family visiting. All the traditional goodness without the work, giving them more time together. I love that!
And then…a little Practical Magic! 🔮🌙
Adorable charcuterie cauldrons, heavenly pumpkin donuts, and chocolate raspberry cake and cupcakes decorated with sparkling crescent moons. All against the most enchanting candlelit tables. Magical!
My heart is full, my feet are tired, and I think the dishwasher deserves employee of the month. 🤣
But what a privilege it is to do this work.
From everyday dinners to celebrations, cooking classes to intimate gatherings, it all comes back to the same thing.
Good food brings people together. And those moments around the table? They’re everything.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, welcomed us into their celebrations, or trusted us with dinner this week.
Food is my love language, and I sure got to share a lot of it this week. ❤️
From my kitchen to yours,
Chef Steph
