Late Thanksgiving post! But of course, its about food. Spent 4 days leading up to Thanksgiving prepping for the Sabathias Thanksgiving dinner.
The art of cooking exudes so much love and I try my best to fulfill this every single day, regardless of the holiday.
Thank you @DearYoungQueen for the love Please make sure to follow and subscribe to their channel!

Our @rootedinda_foodture apprentices are back for Week 2 of value-added product development at @greaternewarknj in collaboration with @urban_ag_coop and Chef Shani @71atechef from @wellnessintheschools . 🌱👩🏽‍🍳✨

Each session deepens their understanding of sustainability, food waste reduction, and culinary innovation. By practicing pickling, jarring, and upcycling surplus produce, students are learning real skills that align with USDA food waste reduction mandates and support a greener, more resilient food system.

This week’s test batch focused on recovering gently bruised Bosc and Anjou pears and red apples from local farmers; produce that might have otherwise been lost. Instead, apprentices transformed it into Apple–Pear Butter. Stay tuned as our @westside.highschool apprentices continue turning local harvests into healthy, student-made value add products for the Urban Agriculture Cooperative.

We are Rooted in Da Foodture — where no food is left behind. 🌍💛

Nduja is a spicy spreadable Italian sausage. It has so much flavor and really adds something special to this dish. #cheflife #foodstagram #personalchef by @71atechef

Should’ve checked the weather because I thought it was gonna rain all day because it was perfect Chili weather. Turned out to be a pretty nice fall day. Made some Corn Biscuits to sop up the chili and some lightly “smothered” green beans w/ pancetta and potatoes. #privatechef #cheflife #foodstagram #personalchef #sometimesibake #eatgoodfeelgood by @71atechef

Had an amazing time this Saturday celebrating a friends birthday and the food was SO GOOD! I’m always trying to draw inspiration and keep things fresh and simple so that the family I cook for doesn’t get bored. I attempted (and succeeded 🫠 because she text me during dinner 😭) to recreate a creamy crab noodle dish, chicken and snap peas from that evening. #privatechef #cheflife by @71atechef

Sometimes momma gotta make breakfast about herself. 😏
Most mornings, I play it safe with making kid-friendly (but flavorful) foods. But this Sunday, I went all in on what “I” wanted.

A fluffy buttermilk biscuit topped with a runny poached egg, brown butter–kissed crab, and a sprinkle of leftover bacon from a dinner party the evening before. Decadent, a little bougie, and totally worth it. #InstaFood #Foodstagram #EatGoodFeelGood #personalchef #breakfastgoals #momsofinstagram #FoodiesOfInstagram #BrunchTime by @71atechef
