Showing some love to my Mighty Monster Cookies tod

Showing some love to my Mighty Monster Cookies today. ❤️ My favorite little sous chef helped me make a batch yesterday to take to Scouts (hello healthy snack badge!) and he was proud to report afterwards that, “everyone snarfed them down!” 😋
•
I know I can cram more goodness into these handheld dreams, so I’m not done #tayloring them yet, but in their current state, I gotta say they’re not too shabby: 4g of protein PER cookie, collagen, fiber, antioxidants, omega 3s, no shortage of texture, and completely “snarfable,” apparently. 😉
❤️👩🏻‍🍳✨

I can’t be the only one who enjoys those little

I can’t be the only one who enjoys those little green packets of pasta seasoning, right? 😇 (Although surely those serving sizes are a mere suggestion… 😂) So imagine my surprise when I was able to recreate the comforting flavors of my college years using fresh, whole ingredients AND without kicking myself out of ketosis! 👏 Check out my #recipeonthefly below!

Say farewell to a list of ingredients you can’t pronounce and feel free to enjoy the whole bowl yourself, I won’t tell! 🤫😉
•
Heat 1/2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp EVOO in a small saucepan over low heat. Add about 1/8-1/4 cup heavy cream and 1-2 Tbsp fresh or leftover pesto (@themediterraneandish has a great pesto recipe! 🌿🧀) and stir to combine. Toss with a package of freshly rinsed Kibun Healthy Noodles (I found them at my local @costco) and heat through. Season with salt & pepper to taste and give it a final drizzle of EVOO. #chefskiss ❤️👩🏻‍🍳✨

Y’all!!! I had so much FUN making dinner tonight

Y’all!!! I had so much FUN making dinner tonight (not that that’s unusual for me, obvi)! 🤩

A little back story…I bought this amazingly well seasoned, perfectly textured, carbon steel wok at a garage sale shortly after we moved to WA. For $5!!! 🤑🙌😍 Despite having never used a wok, I have followed @kenjilopezalt long enough to know that that was a deal I could NOT pass up.

Fast forward to tonight, I had a package of chicken thighs that needed cooking, #ketofriendly Healthy Noodles from @costco in the pantry, and a craving for something Asian-inspired. I pulled up @seriouseats Takeout-Style Kung Pao Chicken recipe since it uses chicken thighs and a requires only a quick marinade. This all sounds great, right? Then I started to pull my ingredients together. 😳 I haven’t settled into my kitchen enough yet to have my normal stash of vinegars, oils, etc. and I had almost NONE of the listed ingredients. 🤦‍♀️ What’s a home chef to do? Don’t give up, #TaylorIt !!! 😉

I did a quick #pivot , pulled together the ingredients I could, subbed in a few others, and used the recipe to guide my technique. With my #miseenplace ready to go, I saddled up to my wok and started flipping. 🤗

The result? This chicken & veg stir fry with a light peanut (butter) sauce and a wasabi almond, cilantro, and lime garnish. #chefskiss👌🏼

The short of it: Covid sucks 🦠 💩 😷 If you’ve already placed an order, don’t worry! I’ve got you! ❤️
•
The longer version: after today’s announcement regarding the continued lockdown and additional restrictions, we’ve made the tough decision to move up our move date. That means I need to close the kitchen earlier than planned.
•
‼️ I will not be taking any more new orders. ‼️🥺😞 If you’ve already placed an order, there will be no change-please plan to collect according to your order confirmation. ✅
•
If I have any last minute goodies for sale, I will share to my stories (FB & IG). 👀
•
Stay well!
❤️👩🏻‍🍳✨

With our BIG move back to America right around the

With our BIG move back to America right around the corner, it’s *nearly* time to close the Food Taylor Made kitchen. 🇦🇺 ✈️ 🇺🇸 😢 I’ve still got a few treats up my sleeve, but I’ll only be taking orders through Sept 1 (and yes, if you order by Sept 1, you can pickup goodies on Father’s Day weekend). 😁

You may notice I’ve switched up the menu a bit, as my goal is to bake my way through the dry ingredients I have on hand. 👍 I won’t be replenishing my pantry as I go, which means there are limited quantities available of everything. That also means that if inspiration strikes, I may have small batch specials to offer (hint: follow me on FB & IG and keep an eye on my stories! 😉)

✅ LAST DAY TO ORDER: Wednesday, September 1

✅ LAST DAY TO PICKUP:
Sunday, September 5

To order:
📞 Call/text: 0481 148 079
💌 Email: orders@foodtaylormade.com

Delicious wishes!

Adventures in pantry cooking…with our BIG move r

Adventures in pantry cooking…with our BIG move right around the corner, I’ve been getting creative in the kitchen (yes, more than usual) in order to use up items in the fridge and pantry. Today was a simple tiramisu since I had a package of lady fingers laying around (what? Doesn’t everybody? 😁) but rather than buying mascarpone, I used up my last little bit of smooth ricotta, some cream cheese, and heavy cream. That’s right, no eggs this time. Authentic? No. Taylored and delicious? 💯

I’ll keep this short: this American girl is going HOME! 🥺🇺🇸 Hard to believe I’m writing another BIG update post like this, less than three years after our move to Sydney. 😢
•
Late October our family will be returning to America. My husband has accepted a job with a young tech startup: he’ll be building their sales engineering program from the ground up! #proudwife 🙌🌟🥳 Thankfully, we’ve already found a house; we’ll be settling down in the Pacific Northwest, not far from my parents. 🥰
•
We are sad about the experiences/people/lifestyle we’re leaving behind and the experiences we didn’t get to have (thanks covid 🙄). BUT we are ***thrilled*** to be going back to family. Lockdown has really shined a spotlight on how much we miss family and want our son to build the same types of memories we both cherish from our own childhoods. 🥺🥰
•
Hopefully you’ve read this far for the good news: If you’re in the Balmain area, I’ll still be taking orders for a bit, so if there’s anything you’ve wanted to try (or have again!) now is the time!!
AND
I will *definitely* be relaunching my biz once we’ve settled in. ☺️
