Giveaway Winner!

Thanks so much to everyone who entered! From reading your comments, you are all in serious need of my services. Even though today there is only one winner, I hope that we might be able to work together in the future.

So... the winner is J. Denise Murray! She says, "I would love a nourishing chef prepared meal because  I'm trying to lose weight to increase the years in my life, I drive 2+ hours a day to work & home, I drive additional hours & miles on the job, I have elderly parents to see after & by the time I get home the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. And...then the problem starts. Bags & boxes & drive-thrus are the quickest avenue to meals and the WORST as far as nutrition!"

You speak truth, my friend! Our society has made it too easy for us to eat badly. But with Nourish by your side, you can take charge of your well-being once again.

Also, in case you are wondering what became of Emily Thames and her bevy of fan club entries, she did get a consolation dinner on Friday night after all.  

I really appreciate all the encouraging comments, too. It means a lot as I start this adventure. And thank you again for taking the time to enter the drawing. Look for more opportunities later this year!

Supper giveaway!



Pastitsio and Fashoulakia. In English, that's a Greek lasagna
of beef, pasta and cheese with a creamy white sauce,
and the classic Greek green bean dish.
The green beans' piquant taste pairs well with
the rich, delicious, comfort of the pastitsio.
And would you believe this plate has
less than 10 grams of fat?

We all know there's no such thing as a free lunch. There IS, however, such a thing as a free supper! Nourish Personal Chef Service is going to give away a free supper to one lucky winner. That is, an entree and a side dish tailored to your food preferences.

Here's how to win:

1. Like Nourish's Facebook page.
2. Leave a comment on the wall or on this blog answering the question "What would you like best about having a personal chef?"
3. Do this by August 12. Winner will be announced August 13.

Get an extra entry when you share this giveaway on your blog or Facebook profile! (Let me know so I can look too.)

Now, I know you'll have a million reasons why you'd like a personal chef, but just leave it at one for this drawing. For instance, a personal chef...
- goes grocery shopping for you
- plans your menu
- gives you 12-15 hours a week to do what you want to do rather than be in the kitchen
- cooks for you
- prepares food to meet your special nutritional needs (low-fat, gluten-free, etc.)
- offers a good variety of foods
- keeps you from cleaning a big kitchen mess...

And when you have delicious meals from Nourish in your freezer, you...
- don't have to go out to eat
- eat food prepared with your specific tastes in mind
- eat whenever it's convenient, 5 pm or 11:30 pm!
- get a hot meal on the table in about 15 minutes
- don't have to wash up pots and pans
- say goodbye to the question "what's for dinner?"

And these are just a few positives when you have a personal chef.

Will the Greek supper be your choice if you win? Good luck!

Only 24 hours

My client this week is a lady I definitely identify with. Picture this...
- she likes to cook

- she's interested in eating healthy
- she wants to eat well, that is, delicious food
- she likes variety
- she has a great kitchen.

Sounds like the recipe for a good supper to me! But...
- she would have to cook for 1
- she is a busy professional
- she works hard and is tired at the end of the day
- she doesn't have time to think of a menu, shop for ingredients, cook supper, and then clean up
- she's on a first-name basis with the Zoes cashier.

Friends, we only have 24 hours in a day. Sometimes that's just not enough to do all that we really want to do. Take heart! There is no shame in realizing that you can't be a Super Hero. We do the best we can, but we all need a little help in some area.

Now aren't you glad I started this business? I can help you take care of that Monday-Thursday dinner time dilemma. My client's only dilemma now is what to eat first! With all these choices waiting for you in your freezer, what would you pick first?

Mexican Shrimp and Grits
A Southern favorite gets a South-of-the-Border twist with the addition of green chilies and Pepper Jack cheese.

Roast Beef Wellingtons
Baked Puff Pastry filled with a mixture of roast beef, Swiss cheese and mushrooms served with a horseradish sauce.
         Roasted Asparagus
         Asparagus roasted simply with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Sundried Tomato and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken
A rich, fresh mixture of tomatoes and cheese take chicken breasts up a notch.
          Vegetable Ribbons
          Zucchini, carrots and sweet potatoes are thinly sliced and tossed with a touch
          of butter and herbs.

Linguine Smoked Turkey
Linguine with smoked turkey, green beans, green onions, tomatoes, cheese, and black olives all tossed in an Italian herb dressing.


Personally, I went ahead and invited myself over for Shrimp and Grits Night.
