Found this in the archives. This commercial filmed two years after when I got the promotion to Executive Chef.

Title is misleading because I didn’t teach them how to prepare anything, just a commercial for the seafood company I used lol

Working in a kitchen was great, great experiences and memories but limiting also.

Now it get to serve people the way I value and the way they need!

Food has a remarkable way of bringing people together — it creates memories, anchors experiences, and nourishes the body in ways that are both practical and meaningful. It’s pretty incredible when you think about it.

Many people face limitations in what they can eat, whether due to personal choices, allergies, or unexpected circumstances.

I’m grateful that God has given me the skills to cook and serve others, especially in moments when they need support or simply want more time back with the people they love.

I created this menu for a friend recovering from surgery, and it reminded me of one of the greatest blessings of owning my own business: the ability to step outside the standard menu and craft meals that truly meet people where they are. Whether someone is healing, busy, overwhelmed, or simply wanting healthier options, I’m honored to create meals that make life a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.

The dish is a simple chicken stir fry with bok choy, spinach & zucchini. I added a half cup of jasmine rice! 🍚
