Nantucket❤

I have been loving Nantucket! It's a culinary heaven! So many highly rate restaurants in one area! People come here to get away from reality and relax on the beach. I would come to just eat food at everyplace! It's like living in paradise with the best food you can get at your finger tips! Here are some pics so far of my trip!

Disney Internship

I know I didn't post about my internship at Disney but it was a great experience I will never forget. I have added just a lot of pics from Tony's kitchen for you to get a summery of my 18 week internship. Of course this is only the food none of all the fun experiences outside of the kitchen :)

Kick Ass Risotto!

Today I made the best risotto of my life. It was cooked with tomatoes and onions first. Then some white wine. So delicious! A hint of garlic and onion powder sets it over the edge. I couldn't have been more happy. It's a good feeling knowing what you can do. I was told not to go to culinary school but I know more then ever if I set my mind to it I will succeed. But I know that even the best chefs like Julia Child were brought down. When she went to culinary school, she was the first women to attend culinary school in Paris. But even she never gave up. Just thinking about Julia child makes me smile. I watched her movie today as well and wow, she gets defeated so meany times but always gets up. The best inspiration I could ask for. I know I will never meet Julia but her story and cook books will always give me hope. You rock Julia and thank you for inspiring me.

Home made Ravioli

I was watching food network and saw this recipe! Yum! It was as good as it looked!It had a three cheese filling and a Delicious sauce that was salty and very satisfying!!!! Just make sure you have a pasta machine because the dough I made was just a little thick. I would definitely make this again!

Buttered Noodles

For lunch I decided to have some buttered noodles! I have had this food since I was a toddler. It's straight up comfort food! The noodles are so simple and delicious! You just cook any type of pasta,today I chose small shells because they are so cute! I tossed them with butter, salt,pepper,some parsley, and Parmesan cheese.I almost forgot the secret ingredient: McCormick brand chicken seasoning! I use it on almost everything I make. It is just a blend of salt, onion, garlic,and different peppers! You can not taste it much but it is absolutely Delicious!

Chili!

So for dinner I made chili. First, I took three pounds of ground beef and browned it with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper,and some tomato paste. Then I took two cans of diced tomatoes(one onion and tomato, other green chilies and tomato). Then I took a can of corn for flavor and color :), It has to look appealing!I also added some green peppers to the mix for a little heat and more color.I never drained any of the cans because then i never needed to add water to the chili. I then took a small can of tomato paste to thicken the chili and a can of tomato sauce as well. That was the base of my chili. I added lots of seasoning to flavor the chili. You can make it anyway you want it to be, i chose warm. It wasn't just normal mild chili, it had a kick after it. I added about two tablespoons of Tabasco sauce, a little chipotle mustard( I know it sounds gross but you can't taste the mustard at all!It just added a ton of heat!), salt , pepper, lots of chili powder, diced garlic,some McCormick chicken seasoning,and a secret ingredient that brought out extra flavor :) It was so good, especially with a little cheese to cool it down some. Just make sure you have a drink near by!

Sushi

Today i made sushi for the first time!It was great i made california rolls that were delishiuos! next time i will have to add more rice, i wasnt sure how much was enough but it was still good! I used sushi rice,cucumber,avacado,crab meaat, and some sea weed.
