Divadish Kitchens & Catering











Onion & Peppers Quiche

Memorial Day marks the beginning of Summer for everyone no matter where you live in the states.It also marks graduations, picnics, celebrations.These events are all marked with all types of foods.

Being a Chef and also one who professes healthy eating I do try to start my day out with a healthy meal, and this picture is a Hearty Quiche I made for a clients Holiday weekend. 

It is a 1/2 pan of light, fluffy eggs combined with sauteed peppers, onions, a dash of basil, and a dash of garlic powder.
This is then poured on top of a crust of crisp hash browns and baked @ 350' for app. 35 minutes till done. Testing it with a toothpick stick .Now serve a piece of this delight with buttered toast with or without jam and a good cup of coffee and you have Heaven on a plate, and it makes your tummy sing The Star Spangled Banner just for you.

Of course it always goes without saying these dishes can be made ahead of time, and they  freeze very well too, so think a little ahead if you can and make yourself a little slice of Heaven and Celebrate Your American Freedom's with good food.:)

God Bless America and all Who Serve to keep Us Safe and Free, We All Thank You.

Stir Fry Meals

Divadish Kitchens & Catering







When you are called for dinner what comes into your mind? This dinner did for me one night so I decided I see if I had all the ingredients to make it.. Whala I di so I sauteed the veggies in a Ginger/Orange Glaze sauce, added some extra ginger and garlic to sauce and slow simmered.
Then in another pan I seared my Jumbo shrimp in olive oil and a touch of lime juice, added a little sea salt and added those to my steamed veggies.
Then I made some Jasmine rice and when that was all done I added my stir-fry to the top of it all poured a little extra glaze on it and sat down to a delicious wholesome all organic plate of deliciousness...:) 

So when you get the call for dinner  think of what would make you smile and see if you got all the ingredients to make a quick and delicious plate of your own.

What no flowers? How dare you, well in my family we give food as a thoughtful gift. 
Flowers are nice but food is always welcomed, especially if I do not have to cook it:)

My Mother always Loved food gifts, and still does especially since she is in a Nursing Care Home, there food it somewhere between Icky & yucky...:( but they call it nourishment, I can't repeat what I call it!
