Top Sirloin 1/2” Rice & Beans with Sautéed Spinach

Such an easy meal to prepare, especially when you have the rice cooked and ready from previous days.

The beans come in a can.

The celery and carrots that you use to feed your bunnies can actually go in here too.

1 single tomato sliced in wedges gives the beans an extra natural broth to slow cook the beans with and make a bean sauce that’s not just water.

You might use the entire bag of spinach to make one side but it’s totally worthwhile when that juicy & luscious spinach mixes with the beans to create a delicious bite in itself independently from the steak.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Chicken salad is such an underrated meal prep recipe that goes unnoticed from time to time, and toppled by the tuna salad fanatics in a restaurant menu.

This is where mayo and Dijon mustard comes to shine along with craisins and a variety of roasted nuts from Almonds to Walnuts will give this recipe some layers to bite through for a burst of flavors.

If you can snag yourself a roasted chicken from the market will even take this recipe to another level.

- 4 cups of shredded chicken
- 1 cup of mayo
- 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1 tsp of onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crasins
- 1/2 cup of nuts of your choice either sliced almonds or candied walnuts are great

Roasted potatoes & Braised Beef Tips

Here I am again with another braised beef tutorial 🤣

That’s because Brazilians can’t get enough Braised Beef as we call it “Carne Cozida”

Without a doubt we’re a people that will make anything work with what’s available. A humble people who are not shy to grab the toughest cuts of meats and slow cook it until it’s tender for every day nutrition.

Here I have the beef accompanied by some easy roasted yellow potatoes sliced 1/4” thick. Seasoned with melted butter and Montreal chicken seasoning.

And of course, I did not get the plated shot 🤭 I was so hungry I just kept eating the potatoes and nibbling on the beef by the time it was cooked lol

- Beef Chuck tips 1.5 lbs
- Carrots 4 whole sliced
- Celery 4 sticks sliced
- White Onions 1 whole sliced
- Mushrooms
- Yellow Potatoes
- butter
- Montreal Steak Seasoning
- Montreal Chicken seasoning
- Salt & Pepper

Behind the food one cooks is a whole lineage of love and people who honor quality time.

It’s very easy to get caught up in the highly demanding nature of hospitality and even when we’re getting slowly cooked in the kitchen it’s very easy to justify our sacrifices as borderline insanity.

It’s not a job for the faint hearted.
Yes, it’s the job and life we ultimately chose!

But beyond the surface and ego, lies a deeper mystery that draws us back as to why we ultimately choose to serve.

It’s the love for one another and divine connection we’ve been sharing since the beginning.

“Mise em place” of the week. Mango Salsa from the Mill Tower Cafe Recipe Book.

- 2 cups of diced mangos
- 1/4 cup of diced jalapeno
- 1 cup of diced white onions
- 1 cup of diced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons of minced cilantro fresh
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- squeeze pulp out of a mango seed
- salt & pepper to taste

Countries in which the US get their mangoes from:

- Mexico
- Peru
- Brazil
- Ecuador
- Guatemala & Haiti
- States: California & Florida

Mango salsa is extremely underrated recipe simply because of the arduous process of peeling and dicing the mango fresh from the fruit.

Most mango products come prepackaged in either sliced or diced form which is essentially a shame in terms of the loss in both flavors and nutrients, alongside the fact that people aren’t getting the full experience of a fresh mango.

Maybe it’s because I grew up in my grandparents house in Brazil that also housed a massive Mango tree that provided its’s fruits to the neighborhood and people walking by the house.

— You can see how low some of the mangoes would hang on the slightly vintage photo from the 90s of our little gang of cousins posing below the mango tree. Lo and behold, the image is slightly symbolic and foreshadowing of my career choice in photography. by @chefluizarduini
