Cara Cara oranges are my favorite because they’re ✨pink✨ and so juicy and flavorful! I brought this platter to a Galentines day party and everyone thought it was grapefruit (still yummy, just not as sweet!) they were so delighted when they decided to give it a taste!

Happy Women’s Day!! We’re not going to be shy about celebrating our accomplishments! As women, we’re used to the old as time phrase, “a woman belongs in the kitchen” until you, a woman, go to work in the kitchen- only to see that too is run by men! And then as a woman, you have to be more talented, faster, more efficient and consistent than your male peers to even be viewed as an equal. Maybe. And still as a woman, I have people question by ability to “handle” what comes my way- but I conquer it every time. This is for all of the women- not just Chefs- who have risen above in their male dominated industries (and worlds) and have managed to set themselves apart. To be viewed for their taken as a person- not just “for a girl.” We’re still coming up and we’re not done yet! Can I get a HEARD 🗣️ #womansday #internationalwomensday #ladychef #womanchef #womanownedbusiness #womanrunbusiness #womanceo #womenincharge #whoruntheworldgirls #womenontop #womenrun #top25privatechefs #phoenixtop25 #phoenixbest #azprivatechef #phoenixprivatechef #scottsdaleprivatechef #girlswhocook #whatscookin #whatscookinbeach #girlpower #truecooks #entrepreneur #girlswhohustle #girlswhogrind #ladyboss #bossbitch #yeschef #integrity (at Paradise Valley, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjOVL_r0zu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I say no waste- I mean absolutely none! Instead of throwing out your beet stems- you can make a quick pickle by adding some of your favorite aromatics, vinegar, salt, sugar, and boiling water! Set it in the fridge for a few hours and you’ll have amazingly flavorful tender-crisp pickles that you can serve as a side, garnish, or purée it into a vinaigrette! #nowaste #nowastecooking #upcycledcooking #sustainable #sustainability #sustainablecooking #sustainablebusiness #quickpickle #pickled #pickles #glutenfree #beets #beetrecipes #cookingtips #recipe #privatechef #cookingclass #beetsthreeways #whatscookin #whatscookinbeach #upcycle #guthealth #probiotics #ferment #fermentedfoods #vegan #veganfoodporn #veganaf #veganaz #phoenixvegan (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVdXnVP6Gf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No Waste Cooking 💖♻️ Main Ingredient: Beets 🍽️ The Root- the most popular part of the Beet Root plant. Normally this is the only part that gets eaten. We roasted them whole with a salt crust to get the skin nice and crispy. We sliced them into rounds because anything beyond that would ruin the perfection. 🧂 Stems- these almost ALWAYS get thrown away. To utilize them, we thinly chopped the stems into juliennes and separated them into two bowls. In one bowl we did a sweet pickle, and a sour pickle in the other. We let them chill for two hours and then mixed them together with some thinly sliced beet top leaves for a sweet & sour salad 🌱 Tops/leaves- IMO this is the best part of the beet root! We thinly sliced the leaves and used them to make a delicious Beet Top fritter Together- this one beet root plan was composed to create a well-balanced harmonious dish. And the best part- not a SINGLE shred was thrown away. Now that’s how you cook with No Waste! #nowaste #nowastecooking #nowastekitchen #lowwaste #beets #beetroot #naturescandy #beetsthreeways #sustainable #sustainability #sustainablebusiness #cookingclass #nowasteclass #sustainablechef #privatechef #whatscookin #whatscookinbeach #sweetandsour #useeverypart #roottoleaf #plantbasedchef #azchef #scottsdaleprivatechef #veganchef #holisticchef (at Tempe, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNSMCTy8fs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
