prep.cook.eat Party @ Paola's

I've been here, there, and everywhere in the community teaching cooking classes and delivering healthy food presentations. Now I want to bring my passion for food and cooking right to you in the comfort of your home. Instead of going out, invite your friends or gather your family for a prep.cook.eat Party!  A prep.cook.eat Party is a fun way to learn and share new recipes and simple cooking techniques.

Cooking can be a delicious, fun social event. Take a look-see at Paola's Friday Girls' Night themed party!

The crowd
A nice mix of friends, professional women (an insurance agent, lawyer, interpreter, educator, an upcoming star) and mothers coming together for an evening of fun and looking for new Outside of the Box recipes.

The personalized menu:

 Lettuce Wraps with made from scratch Teriyaki Sauce

Simple Slaw with homemade Peanut Sauce

Kale Chips

No-Bake Oatmeal Energy Bars

The experience
Let me tell you...These Latina women know their way around the kitchen. Since they all cook at home regularly after our introductions and a little chit-chat we started right in  prepping and cooking.

This was a wonderful evening full of laughter, good food, and good times.

Spring Lunch Outdoors

It's always a good time catching up over lunch with a friend. Since the weather has been warm and sunny here in the Pacific NW I decided to break out my outdoor dinnerware and take the delicious fun outdoors.

On the menu, Asian inspired cuisine:
- Hand-chopped slaw (cabbage, red cabbage, carrots)
- Grilled chicken in a marinade of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, etc.
- Brown rice
- Peanut sauce

Good food. Good company. Good times.
