How’s your week going? I’ve been feeling kinda blah for some reason. Nothings wrong, just can’t pinpoint why I’m feeling this way. Pray for me y’all. And in the meantime in between time you can get up close and personal with my fried chicken and maple cayenne waffles. With charred garlic and chili honey Sriracha green beans. #cheftirzahlove #bayareachef #blackchefsofig #instatasty #cheflife #huffposttaste #f52grams #foodgawker #thekitchn #feedfeed #buzzfeast #instagood #youonthechew #buzzfeedfood #foodgasm #foodstagram #yummy #delicious #tasty #foodnetwork #foodie #foodpics #cooking #foodblog https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGGYEAg8bW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fqmi5je8z12i

It was the perfect morning for these egg white crepe breakfast quesadillas. I’m heading to a 4 day hiking trip with a bunch of 11 year olds, so I needed these nutrients for sanity’s sake!! I also packed my favorite kale salad and some stroop waffles for a sweet treat!! I’m so excited to spend this time with my child. I remember when my mom came on my school field trip to the museum when I was in 4th grade. These moments mean so much in the long run. What are your favorite school trip memories??

Happy Sunday!!! It’s a new week, I’m headed to a 4 day hiking trip with my child and their school!! I can’t wait to get out in nature and let it restore and replenish me. I’ll also stick to a mainly raw diet since I won’t be lifting while I’m there. What are your health and fitness goals this week??

It was so much fun creating this #delectablerendezvous breakfast 🥞 for a client. How special their partner must’ve felt when they walked in to a fully decorated room, with delicious food ready, just for them! Love is in the air today, can you feel it?? I certainly could after I put this set up together!! I hope you are all smiling today knowing just how special you are!!! I’m sending you love on this #valentinesday2019❤️ #iloveyou #cheftirzahlove #issacelebration‼️🍾🎉 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4DXvTlUAj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=147e8durs8o4l

Y’all see that sad avocado I picked 😒 hella mad... anyway, we were grocery shopping and my son says “I’m craving steak!” He is a super rigid eater (rarely eats meat and if he does it’s turkey or chicken), so after my initial shock I said “if that’s what your body is craving, then I’ll oblige...” So here’s an #easyeat that takes about 20 minutes to make. I marinated the meat overnight in soy sauce, chipotle, garlic, cumin, and olive oil. Then cooked it off on a grill pan (about 5 minutes each side), cut up some peppers, onion, and zucchini and sautéed it in the same pan. Charred some flour tortillas, and in about 20 minutes dinner was served! I just ate the veggies with the sad avocado 🥑 and chipotle mayo and it was delicious! #cheftirzahlove #easyeats #yummy #quick #weeknightmeals #20minutemeals #huffposttaste #f52grams #foodgawker #thekitchn #feedfeed #buzzfeast #instagood #youonthechew #buzzfeedfood #foodgasm #foodstagram #yummy #delicious #tasty #foodnetwork #foodie #foodpics #cooking #foodblog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt19f-clSd7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w9llzxzhsink

Is it too early for dinner 🥘?? Who cares 🤷🏽‍♀️! Coconut curry mussels for the win tonight! They are so sweet, spicy, and salty. Plus the creamy fattiness of the coconut with the tang of lime makes a lit party in your mouth!!! The only thing I like about the winter ❄️ is the soup 🥣! What is your favorite thing about the cold months? #commentbelow👇 #cheftirzahlove #privatechef #yummy #healthy #delicious #bayarea #blackchefs #delicious #happiness #yummy (at Tirzah's Kitchen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwskyFFrdL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z8p2y77ts4d

This is obviously not “traditional” ramen. But I’ve never been a traditional person, I always do my own thing. Yesterday I made 24 hour seafood stock, and then today I adapted that into ramen stock using Mirin, dried shitake, and soy sauce. I let it do its thing today and then came back, threw in some mushrooms, green onion, and yellow squash, fresh cod fish, and these knife cut Asian noodles I got at Costco. What came of it is this delicious dinner!! I mean, I’m not about to open a ramen house but I bet my friends wouldn’t mind coming over for this! The best part is, it’s super #healthy. *pats self on the back* Anyway, happy Thursday folks. It’s soup 🍜 and cuddle weather out here, I hope you have someone to hold onto. Even if it’s yourself 💕#cheftirzahlove #delicious #ramen #healthy #privatechef #yummy https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmlUXFl3Cr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1op05mwvd3621

Orange shrimp for the kiddos tonight, not gonna lie, I tried one (or three) but I’m still on my veggie soup hype. They are pretty tangy and spicy and delicious 😋 They cleaned their plate and that’s all that matters to me. #cheftirzahlove #flava #yummy #delicious #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/Btj8kFElpBZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oftummjc6dr9

There was no way I was only gonna eat just veggies after that workout this am. I’ve been doing really well this week tho, that veggie soup has been instrumental in my success. Anyway, this is one of my breakfast favs (besides the sandwiches previously discussed) sweet potato hash with pastured alfresco eggs and avocado 🥑 I drizzled some #vegan chipotle mayo on top to give it a quick because I was feeling spicy 🌶 It’s delicious, what are your post work out meals!!!??

I keep getting messages asking me what veggies I used in my #everyveggieinthefridgesoup so here goes: onion, celery, carrot, kale, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, stewed tomatoes, jalapeño, red cabbage, green onion, and a sprinkle of cheese for garnish. I used tomato paste as a thickening base before I added in my home make veggie stock (I keep this on deck at all times, I summer it for 24 hours). Oh also the spices I used: cumin, Mexican oregano, cayenne, chili, red pepper (yes it was spicy but not too hot), salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Again, it was really rich in flavor!!! Tag me if you make it, I’d love to see!!! #cheftirzahlove #travelingchef #internationalflavors #happiness #loveisthebestmedicine #highendpersonalchef #healthychef #fitchef https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfUM2TlFfh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1im032azzo9yj

Even if you’re shaking, even when the tears come, even if you’re the only one. It has to be done! I love you, #happyblackhistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfTcJKF5ID/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gt8fgoozbuda

I call this “every veggie in the fridge soup” 🥣 and it’s freakin delicious and heart warming on a cold and rainy day like today!! I didn’t eat bad on vacay, I didn’t eat much at all cuz the food was horrific. I did however, drink beyond my share of pinà coladas and espresso martinis tho. So this week it’s all veggies and fruits until further notice. This soup has all the Mexican spices in it, with a tomato base; so it’s everything savory and delicious! The crunch of the fresh veggies makes it even more wholesome (y’all they didn’t have no fresh veggies on that boat, it all tasted like it had been in the fridge for weeks, I almost died)! Anyway, what are your go to soups???
