This time last week I had @denelle26 on the brain, as I was preparing for his surprise birthday celebration at @pwatorlando ✨
.
Although every menu I curate has a piece of me 😊, the ones I love the most are the ones where my guest(s) of honor enjoy food as much as I do 🥰
.
To be a part of the love 🤍 and support surrounding @denelle26 for his Birthday 🎂 was a filling experience (literally & figuratively lol)...and just another reason I’m passionate about what I do👌🏾
.
Painting with a Twist just got a little more twisted: If you find yourself at @pwatorlando or @pwatclermont and are looking to add some bites to your experience 👀…Ask them about Chef Nat and @thelastingbite #wegotathinggoingon
.
A very special THANK YOU to @tamyyaj for choosing me to curate this experience 🤍🙏🏾

A TLB (@thelastingbite) original 😙🤌🏾
.
I’ve played with a few different concepts of shrimp & grits, and I have to say, this may very well be my favorite 🫣🫠
.
The real question: who is ready to experience it? 👀
.
The Deets: Bruschetta inspired shrimp scampi w/creamy grits and white wine garlic butter 🤤

Listen, I’m a fan of practically EVERYTHING breakfast related, but when you involve HOMEMADE BISCUITS 🤤…?! #superfanme
.
There are hella ways to make homemade biscuits: w/milk 🥛, w/buttermilk, w/o milk 🚫🥛…and imma be honest, although they all taste a little diff, they are all highly recommended according to my tastebuds 🤷🏾‍♀️
.
Literally came home frantically ready to make biscuits as I was trying not to pull up on @chickfila for breakfast for the 3rd time this week 🫣 - don’t act like you don’t feel me 🫠🤣 - so here is a recipe y’all can use to whip up some quick biscuits 🤤🤌🏾
.
INGREDIENTS:
2 C AP Flour (or self rising)
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/2 C Unsalted Butter (1 stick) - Cold
1/2-3/4 C of Water
A little butter to brush on top when done 👌🏾
.
STEPS:
**Pre-Heat Oven to 410 degrees F**
(1) Sift Flour, Baking Powder & Salt
(2) Dice up stick of butter
(3) Incorporate butter into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs
(4) Incorporate water & use spatula to fold in - don’t over mix
(5) Move to floured surface
(6) Lightly press dough w/hands to about 1.5 inch thick
(7) Fold dough over it self from the left & right first then top to bottom
(8) Gently roll out to 1.5 inch thick
(9) Cut biscuits w/a circular cookie cutter (or any lol)
(10) Butter baking sheet & add biscuits
(11) Bake for 15 mins or until slightly golden on top
(12) Brush w/butter immediately out of the oven 🤤
.
TIPS 🥸:
✨ If you don’t have a cookie cutter use a knife and cut them into squares
✨ DO NOT twist your cutters or drag your knife when cutting, the biscuits will rise unevenly 🙅🏾‍♀️
✨ Make sure you dust your cutter or knife w/flour as the dough is a little sticky 👌🏾
✨ Use kosher salt w/this recipe 🤌🏾
✨Scared you won’t incorporate the butter properly? Freeze the stick before hand and grate it into the dry mixture 👌🏾
.
Are you all up for the challenge?

LISTEN! The moment you 🛑 enjoying what YOU do, WHO you do if for, and the PEOPLE who do it with you?!…you gotta take a step back to determine whether you’re doing the right thing?! 👀 OR whether you’re doing it the right way!? 🤔
.
Curating as a culinary artist was happening in my mother’s kitchen (as a kid) WAY before this business even had a concept 🫣🙃. However, over the last 2 years…this journey of putting my art up for sale has been beautifully challenging for more reasons than one☝🏾.
.
BUUUUUT I still love what I do, WHO I do it for, and the PEOPLE I do it with…and I have no doubt I will be enjoying my role in this industry for a LONG time 👌🏾
.
Special thanks to my mom for allowing me to hire her 🤍🫶, and my on call Sous Chef of the year @nutri.guru 🤙🏾 for holding me down at my last event 👌🏾 - outside of every laugh 😆 and memory built ✨, my greatest joy was having the chance to bless them, as a direct result of God blessing my business in ways I could never imagine 😩🤩
.
I don’t post EVERYTHING, but know just like God, the BTS work is relentless 😙🤌🏾
