Mike and I picked up an Aroma rice cooker last year that has some great features.  One of them, “quick cook”, allows you to saute veggies with the rice – this is a great way to add some extra flavor and zing to your rice dish.  Of course the stove-top method would work, too, but if you’ve ever cooked in Southern Arizona in May, you understand my desire NEED to limit my use of the stove.

Seems like a great time to introduce myself, now that I’m trying to get the next iteration of @foodtaylormade up & running.

👩🏻‍🍳🥳 I’m a home chef and I love cooking, baking, entertaining, and celebrating life’s big & small moments.

✨❤️ I’m a glass half full, always finding the silver lining kind of girl.

What’s next? Stay tuned! But in the meantime…

Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *d Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *delicious* elderberry syrup ready to boost your immunity just in time for Christmas! Loved by adults AND kids over 1yo, a dose of elderberry syrup is a great way to start your day.

**Comment below to order. First come, first served. Must be able to collect by Tuesday.**😁🌿

Syrup comes in 16oz jars. Price is $22 OR you can trade in a 16oz glass jar/bottle (with lid) for $2 off, bringing your price down to $20. If you’ve bought from me before, 

Ingredients include:
Wildcrafted elderberries, organic cinnamon stick, whole star anise, orange juice, organic whole cloves, fresh ginger, organic rose hips, organic echinacea, and local raw honey.

The addition of ginger, rose hips, and echinacea help with prevention and lung support. Local raw honey offers relief from local allergens.😊

❤️ 👩🏻‍🍳 ✨
