Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible women in our lives, and what better way to show appreciation than by treating Mom to a delightful breakfast in bed? These quick and easy cinnamon rolls are the perfect way to start her day on a sweet note. Best of all, you can make them the night before with the help of mom or dad, so all you have to do in the morning is pop them in the oven and prepare to impress. Ingredients: For the Dough: 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup whole milk 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star or any instant yeast (1 standard packet) 1 large egg, at room temperature For the Filling: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, extra softened 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 cup turbinado sugar 2 tablespoons non-fat milk powder 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon For the Cream Cheese Icing: 4 ounces full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste Instructions: 1. Make the Dough: Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan on the stove until the butter has melted and the mixture is warm to the touch. Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat until the temperature reaches about 110°F/43°C. Beat in the yeast until dissolved, then add the egg and mix on medium speed until a soft dough forms. 2. Fill the Rolls: Roll out the dough into a 20×14-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the softened butter on top of the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the dark brown sugar, turbinado sugar, milk powder, and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough to make a 20-inch log, then cut into 10–12 even rolls and arrange in a lightly greased 9 X 13-inch square baking pan. 3. Rise: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a warm environment for 60–90 minutes or until doubled in size. 4. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 24–27 minutes, or until lightly browned. If the tops are browning too quickly, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. 5. Make the Icing: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the butter and beat until smooth, then beat in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla bean paste until combined. Spread the icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately. These homemade cinnamon rolls are sure to make Mom feel loved and appreciated this Mother’s Day. Serve them with a fresh cup of coffee or her favorite tea for the ultimate breakfast in bed experience. Remember, it’s the thought and effort that counts, so don’t worry if they’re not perfect – Mom will appreciate the gesture no matter what. Happy Mother’s Day! Note: Leftover rolls can be stored tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

As many know, I prefer to consume my cannabis through alternative methods rather than smoking. For this recipe, I’ve chosen a simple way to infuse it using Proof Extracts Bazilion drops. These drops offer a subtle yet deliciously terpene-rich flavor that can easily be incorporated with just a few drops on your salad or any recipe.  This recipe can also be made without cannabis for any friends who don’t consume. Instead try a “smokable pairing”. I have a few suggestions: Super Lemon Haze, known for its beautiful citrus notes; Jack Herer, celebrated for its delightful spicy and herbal nuances; or Wedding Cake, recognized for its sweet and peppery undertones. For those wishing to smoke, I would choose a strain enriched with linalool, limonene, and pinene. These terpenes bring forth an aromatic bouquet of florals (reminiscent of dried lavender in the goat cheese), citrus (akin to lemon juice and lemon zest in this recipe), and tangy notes (complementing the goat cheese’s tanginess with fennel and the delicate spice of fresh basil). This infusion enhances the overall sensory experience of the dish. With a thoughtful strain selection, the right cannabis variety can elevate the flavors without overpowering the salad’s delicate charm, ensuring a harmonious and enjoyable culinary adventure. Serves 4 Dressing: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1tablespoon white balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijion mustard ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest (reserve for whipped goat cheese), plus 2 teaspoons juice Kosher salt and black pepper  Salad: ¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced 2 large heirloom tomatoes (about 14 ounces total), cored and cut into 1-inch wedges 2 medium peaches (about 12 ounces), halved, pitted and cut into ½-inch wedges ½ to 1 cup torn basil leaves (optional)  Whipped Goat Cheese: 4 ounces soft Cypress Grove Purple Haze goat cheese DOSING: courtesy of Christina Wong Low Dose // 5mg THC per serving: You’ll need 7 drops of Proof Bazillion Drops. 20mg THC total. High Dose // 100mg THC per serving: You’ll need 6 droppers (6ml) of Proof Bazillion Drops. 400mg THC total. 6 tablespoons heavy cream 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely zested or chopped    Step 1 In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper, stir in the red onion and set aside. Step 2 Place red onion in a small bowl, cover with water and soak for at least 10 minutes (to mellow the sharp onion flavor). Then strain and pat dry with a paper towel. Step 3 Crumble the goat cheese into the bowl of a food processor (or with a hand blender) and add cannabis oil. Process until creamy, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and lemon zest; process until light fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste with salt. Step 4 Spread the whipped goat cheese on a large serving platter or in shallow bowl, distributing it evenly using the back of a spoon. Add the tomato wedges, peach wedges and red onion to the dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place on top of the whipped goat cheese and garnish with torn basil. Serve   Cannabis infusion Notes: courtesy of Christina Wong– How to Infuse Food Using a Tincture Chef Jenn recommends using a cannabis tincture to infuse this recipe. Specifically Proof Bazillion Drops, a tincture made with MCT coconut oil that’s extremely potent. Please dose with caution, and err on the side of less.  About Proof Bazillion Drops // entire bottle = 1,000mg THC 1 drop = 3mg THC and 3mg CBD Half a dropper (0.5ml) = 33mg THC and 33mg CBD Full dropper (1ml) = 66mg THC and 66mg CBD These drops offer a subtle yet deliciously terpene-rich flavor that can easily be incorporated with just a few drops on your salad or any dish.

Are you ready to savor a delectable dish that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also takes care of your health? Look no further! As a private chef, I specialize in crafting custom culinary creations that cater to your dietary needs, and today, I’m excited to introduce you to our mouthwatering Anti-Inflammatory Chicken Spring Rolls with Sunflower Seed Butter Dipping Sauce. As a private chef, I understand that everyone’s health and dietary requirements are unique. Whether you’re following a specific eating plan due to allergies, sensitivities, or personal preferences, I am here to transform your dining experience into a flavorful journey that aligns with your wellness goals. The Power of Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients Inflammation is at the core of many health concerns, from chronic pain to digestive issues. Our Anti-Inflammatory Chicken Spring Rolls are designed to combat inflammation and support your overall well-being. Here’s a glimpse of what makes them so special: 1. Chicken Breast: Lean and Protein-Packed Our recipe features tender, boneless, skinless chicken breast, a low-fat protein source that helps rebuild and repair body tissues. It’s a perfect addition for those looking to increase their protein intake without excess fat. And look for brands like Mary’s organic chicken. With NO Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) NO Antibiotics Ever. NO Pesticide Treated Grains. NO Grains Grown with Chemical Fertilizers. 2. Turmeric: Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory Spice Turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. I’ve incorporated it into the dipping sauce to infuse these spring rolls with a vibrant, earthy flavor.  For more  powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, turmeric could be incorporated into the marinade for the cooked chicken. 3. Fresh Veggies: Nutrient-Rich and Fiber-Packed These spring rolls are bursting with colorful, fresh vegetables like shredded carrots, crisp English cucumber, and aromatic cilantro. These veggies not only add a beautiful crunch but also rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber to promote digestive health. Feel free to add any veggies of your choosing. The Sunflower Seed Butter Dipping Sauce: A Creamy Delight To elevate the flavor profile and maintain the anti-inflammatory theme, I’ve crafted a delectable Sunflower Seed Butter Dipping Sauce. This creamy dip is an excellent source of healthy fats and essential nutrients: 1. Sunflower Seeds: Heart-Healthy Goodness Sunflower seeds provide a dose of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and essential minerals like magnesium and selenium. They contribute to a lusciously smooth texture and a slightly nutty flavor. 2. Maple Syrup: Natural Sweetness I’ve sweetened the sauce with pure maple syrup, a natural sweetener that adds a touch of sweetness without refined sugars. It also delivers antioxidants and nutrients like manganese and zinc. 3. Coconut aminos These may be new to you but I highly recommend them. Coconut aminos are much lower in sodium than soy sauce and are a great alternative. A hint of coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and a dash of garlic powder perfectly balances the flavor, resulting in a dipping sauce that complements the spring rolls beautifully.

Imagine yourself by the sunny shores of San Diego, surrounded by the tantalizing aroma of a sizzling fish burger. Fish burgers are a delightful way to showcase the firm flesh of local fish like Shark, Wahoo, or Albacore. What exactly does firm flesh mean? Well, it refers to the meat that is not “flaky” when cooked. Often found in the tails of fish like tuna or other large oceanic fish, which tend to be tougher due to the well-worked tail muscles. Surprisingly, this often-overlooked meat can be transformed into a delectable burger when chopped into small pieces. Let’s dive into the recipe: Serves: 4 For the Burgers, you’ll need: – 1 lb Yellowtail (amberjack) or other firm fish, with skins off, pin bones and bloodline removed – 2 Green onions (whites and green parts), sliced thin – 1 ½ tsp Lemon or lime zest – ½ tsp Hot sauce (Tabasco, Crystal, or any vinegar-based hot sauce) – ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning – 1 Egg, beaten – ½ cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko) – 2 tbsp High heat cooking oil (peanut oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, etc.)* – Kosher salt and pepper to taste For the Old Bay Mayonnaise, you’ll need: – 4 tbsp Mayonnaise – 1 tbsp Lemon juice – 1 to 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning Additional ingredients: – 4 Hamburger buns, toasted – 4 leaves of Butter leaf lettuce Here’s how to create these mouthwatering burgers: 1. Start by finely chopping the fish into small, 1/4-inch pieces. 2. In a bowl, gently combine the chopped fish, green onions, lemon or lime zest, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix them all together until well combined. 3. Form the mixture into four patties. To achieve perfectly shaped burgers that hold together, line a ring mold or biscuit cutter with plastic wrap, add enough fish mixture to create a 1½-inch-thick patty, and press firmly into the mold. Wrap the patties tightly with plastic wrap. Don’t worry if you don’t have a ring mold; simply use an ice cream scoop to form a ball, then lightly pat it into a 1½-inch-thick burger shape and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. 4. Place the wrapped burgers in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. This will help the flavors meld and the burgers firm up. 5. While the burgers are chilling, let’s prepare the Old Bay mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and one teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Stir everything together until well mixed. Taste and add more Old Bay seasoning if desired. 6. Once the burgers have chilled to allow the bread crumbs to bind the burger, and are ready to be cooked, remove them from the plastic wrap and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. 7. In a non-stick skillet, heat one tablespoon of high-heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the burgers in the skillet and let them cook until they turn crisp and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers, adding more oil to the skillet if needed, and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking until the other side becomes golden brown as well, cooking for approximately 4 minutes or until the burgers are just cooked through (if after browning, the burgers are too thick and not cooked through, they can be placed into a 350 F oven and cooked until the center is no longer raw). 8. Now, it’s time to assemble our irresistible burgers. Spread the Old Bay mayonnaise onto the toasted hamburger buns, then place a cooked burger patty on each bun. Top it off with a fresh leaf of butter lettuce. Chef’s tip: To prevent burning or smoking, choosing a high-heat oil for cooking the burgers is important. Great options include coconut oil, avocado oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, or grapeseed oil. And there you have it—a tantalizing Yellowtail Burger with Old Bay Mayonnaise that will transport your taste buds to culinary bliss!

Join me for a culinary adventure that will delight your senses and leave you craving more. Book now, and let’s embark on a gastronomic journey together!

Introduction: Pancakes have always been a favorite breakfast option for private breakfast & brunch events. The soft, fluffy texture combined with the sweet aroma fills the air and sets the stage for a delightful morning. Today, I want to share my go-to recipe for homemade pancakes, perfected over years of trial and error. With just the right blend of ingredients and a few handy tips, you’ll be able to whip up a stack of heavenly pancakes that will leave your taste buds craving for more. One Batch of Pancakes (feeds 4 people):Ingredients: For the Pancake Mix: 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour 1/4 cup Powdered sugar 1/2 cup Cornstarch 4 1/2 tsp Baking powder 1/2 tsp Kosher salt 2 Eggs 1 cup Buttermilk 1/2 cup Heavy cream milk ¼ cup Melted butter 1 tsp Vanilla extract Instructions: Combine the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until well incorporated. This mixture will serve as your pancake mix base. You can make a double batch and store the extra mix in an airtight container for future use. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. Add the buttermilk, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the pancake mix. Stir gently until all the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. Now, here comes the fun part! If you want to make adorable silver-dollar pancakes, transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle. This will allow you to control the size and shape of each pancake, making it a mess-free and enjoyable cooking experience. Alternatively, if you prefer larger pancakes, use an ice cream scoop to portion out the batter onto a preheated griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes on medium heat until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip them over and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Remember, patience is key to achieving perfectly cooked pancakes. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a low-temperature oven until you’ve finished cooking the entire batch. Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Whether it’s a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkling of fresh berries, let your creativity shine and make each stack uniquely yours. Tip: To add a personal touch, experiment with additional ingredients such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or even a hint of cinnamon to take your pancakes to the next level of flavor. There’s something truly special about starting your day with a plate of warm, fluffy pancakes. With this recipe, you can bring that magic into your own kitchen. The combination of the homemade pancake mix and a few simple ingredients will create a culinary masterpiece that will impress your family and friends. So, grab your squeeze bottle or ice cream scoop, fire up the stove, and indulge in the irresistible joy of homemade pancakes. Bon appétit!
