If your house is anything like mine, September means a complete change of pace for everyone. Between early morning wake-ups, carpools, after-school activities, homework and evening meetings, the days are jam-packed with non-stop activity.
Getting dinner on the table is often another stress point in a very busy day. Wouldn't it be great not
to have to think about dinner and just have it magically be ready when
you are? If you hire Simply Delicious, your wishful thinking can become
reality.
Simply Delicious does all the work for you - menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, packaging and cleaning up. All you have to do is decide which delicious meal you'd like to serve tonight, heat it up and enjoy. It's that simple. And it's ALWAYS delicious.

The Living is Easy - Summer 2011
This summer, the living is easy for my clients, who have been coming home to grill-ready entrees, luscious summer salads and fresh fruit dishes, courtesy of their personal chef (that would be me).
Lighter fare is the ticket for hot summer nights. Some of my new creations include:
- Vegetable Pad Thai
- Pesto Chicken Salad
- Crab-Stuffed Fillet of Sole
- Quinoa and Grilled Sourdough Salad
- Buttermilk Chicken Cutlets with Fresh Corn Salsa
- Baja Fish Tacos
- Greek Orzo with Spinach and Feta (with or without grilled shrimp)
Pour a cold beverage, have a seat on your deck, and enjoy. That's what summer should be all about.
New Year, New You?
The new year seems to have brought out the dieter in two of my clients.
What better way to stay commited to your weight-loss goal than to have a personal chef prepare the foods for your specific diet, packaged in individual portions, so there's no guessing about serving size?
I've become very well-versed in South Beach Diet recipes: Cheesy Frittata with Vegetables, Chicken en Papillote, Oven-Roasted Vegetables and Broiled Tomatoes with Pesto are tasty dishes prepared with wholesome ingredients that South Beach Dieters love to eat.
I've also been making 350-calorie protein/vegetable meals for another client. Anything but boring, her dinners have included Raspberry-Balsamic Chicken with Herb-Roasted Carrots, Orange Beef with Broccoli, and Miso-Glazed Cod with Edamame Succotash. These meals are fresh, tasty and just what the doctor ordered.
If you'd like some help with your healthy eating goals in 2011, I can help.
