January 31, 2010 - Comfort Cookies

www.ComfortCookiesInc.com

Comfort Cookies started as a ‘fluke’ in 2006 with one flavor: Chocolate Chip. Friends had been telling them for years to try and sell their cookie because they thought it was delicious. After reading an article in the NY Times about home-bakers, they realized it was possible and so Comfort Cookies was born! Today Comfort Cookies has grown to 30 flavors…including Gluten Free varieties.

Gluten-Free Comfort Cookies came about because people said, “Your cookies look really good but I cannot have wheat.” So in the Fall of 2009, they started experimenting with wheat-free flours. They have gotten inspiring feedback and so this has sparked them to try to keep adding more flavors!

They love to do tastings/demos for their cookies because they love meeting people, listening to their ideas AND they want folks to sample before they buy. Also in meeting them, they can see who they are ‘supporting’ when they purchase a Comfort Cookie. They really do believe that the world is a big community and we need to put their efforts where their mouths are. They find a lot of people in Vermont think like them and that is one of the primary reasons they moved here last year. People talk about the cold weather in Vermont but they tell folks the ‘warmth of the people’ here more than makes up for it!

They believe in kindness, compassion and passion! They believe in volunteerism and advocacy and see their cookies as an avenue to continue supporting the fight against hunger, child abuse and pediatric cancer and other related childhood diseases.

Comfort Cookies also made a vow 3 years ago to continue sending ‘Care Packages’ overseas to the men and women who proudly support our country in war-torn places like Iraq and Afghanistan. So far, they have been able to keep that promise. If anyone has an APO/FRP address they can pass it along to www.ComfortCookiesInc.com and they will gladly add it to their list.

You HAVE to try their cookies! They are amazing! Very soft and scrumptious!

Don't forget that Valentine's Day is right around the corner... Be sure to order your cookies today!

What I made for dinner - a recipe from www.ChefContos.blogspot.com:

FROM www.CHEFCONTOS.BLOGSPOT.COM


Maple & Apple Braised Chicken

Serves 4

4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts

Salt and ground black pepper

3 tablespoons grape seed oil

1 apple, sliced

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 bay leaf

1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

1/2 cup chicken stock or Apple Cider

2 tablespoon unsalted butter

1. Preheat oven to 425º.

2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

3. Heat a large oven proof sauté pan over medium high heat and add oil. When hot add chicken breasts skin side down. Brown the chicken on both sides then add apple slices.

4. Add vinegar, maple syrup, bay leaf, thyme, and stock to the sauté pan. Bring to a boil. Place pan in oven and roast until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165° F, 6-10 minutes.

5. Remove chicken from the oven. If needed reduce sauce 3 minutes to thicken over high heat. Turn heat off, add butter and adjust the seasoning.

6. Serve chicken with sauce and mashed potatoes!

This was super easy to make! I took one bit and was in heaven. I felt like a gourmet chef! My husband said that it was the best thing I have ever made!!! And wants to have this again for dinner... SOON!

January 25, 2010 - Efusjon Energy Club

TJ Chelak Jr.
Phone: (802) 363-1541
Email: Teeege@comcast.net
Website: www.myefusjon.com/dawghouse1

efusjon is a brand new company. They officially launch Jan 30th when they kick off they International tour prior to the Winter Olympics in CANADA!! With this company being new (well, 67,000 people have walked through the doors so far) TJ's connection to the retired VP of Dean Witter Financials who brought him into the company, his friend Peter Hawks, has him positioned with only 1000 of those 67,000 people above him. Meaning, if you were on your way to a football game and waiting in line to get into the game and you were the 1000th person in line and those other 66,000 people had to pass a dollar up to you, that would make you very happy. That is what he is trying to offer his friends and family - a position in this company. Not if, but when, this company becomes hugely successful, it would be extremely safe to say the people who jump on board are really well off!!! That's the biz side of it...

What really matters, is the health side of it. Everybody we know should be consuming these antioxidants to prevent cancer and other disease!! How do you make people believers??? LISTEN TO THIS: TJ's close friend Eric who had inoperable brain cancer didn't hesitate - studies have shown just the Acai Berry alone kills 83% of cancer cells in test tube experiments.

Here's my take on the whole thing:
As far as the taste goes - I was SHOCKED! I am incredibly picky!!! So, when TJ first wanted me to try one of these drinks, I was actually quite nervous. But, to my amazement, they really are good. My husband and I tried 3 of them at first, and we both really enjoyed the taste. It's quite smooth and refreshing!

I'll be taking a couple of pictures today of me drinking efusjon! Stay tuned!!

January 4, 2010 - Chef Courtney Contos

Today we will be highlighting a great chef in Vermont, Chef Courtney Contos. Chef Contos is an experienced culinary coach and is available to coach you in the comfort of your own home. Set up a session with her today for either a face to face session, or remotely! Take a look at her very informative website: www.ChefContos.com, or her blog: ChefContos.blogspot.com.

On the website or blog, you can sign up for newsletters and get more great information delivered right to your inbox. Along with her coaching sessions, many other culinary services are available. Click here to take a look!

Chef Courtney Contos, executive chef for the Cook Academy at The Essex Resort & Spa since 2006, loves to teach people how to cook. Chef Contos has a hospitality and culinary arts degree from Chicago's Kendall College. After she graduated from college in 1998, Chef Contos was recruited by Charlie Trotter to become a full-time chef. Charlie Trotter recognized her talent, passion and creativity with new dishes. Trotter went a step further and recognized her by having Chef Contos assist him with his national cooking show. Following her position at "Trotters", Chef Contos opened her very own business. She traveled throughout the US with a mission of preparing gourmet parties for well-known clients. Her work included flower arranging, table decorating, providing experienced wait staff, wine paring and importantly, menu development and flawless meal preparation. The services that Chef Courtney Contos offered, are still called upon today. No matter how large, small or intimate these parties were, Chef Contos was delivering excellent services and her passion continued to grow for all things culinary.
Chef Courtney Contos has even tested recipes for Martha Stewart's magazine "Every Day Food" - 2002 while she was in New York City.

In addition to her business, Chef Contos was the culinary instructor at The Chopping Block Cooking Schools in Chicago from 2003 through 2006. She enjoyed teaching cooking classes, with a hands-on demonstration environment, for approximately sixteen attendants.

Chef Courntey Contos didn't stop with the above accomplishments. Along with her own business, she further went on to join the blogging world in 2006. In 2008, she wrote the initial "Cooking Fresh" article in Edible Green Mountains Magazine. Stay tuned to a national "Edibles Cookbook", in print 2010, for some of her own recipes.

Over the years, you may have seen Chef Contos on many TV cooking segments. She takes great pride in also appearing on local TV to provide seasonal recipes, including those with ingredients of farm fresh foods from Vermont. Her enthusiasm has also spread to bee keeping, maple sugaring, and organic vegetable and fruit gardening. Chef Contos is in the process of developing her first cookbook, yet unnamed, as her passion for food writing has also been never-ending.

So, where did Chef Courtney Contos begin her passion for all things culinary?
When Chef Contos was very young, she admired the work of her father while being at his side at one of Chicago's finest restaurants, Chez Paul, a family restaurant open from 1948-1992. There is where her love for culinary began and her understanding of the restaurant businesses developed.

All in all, Chef Contos is incredible experienced, and overall, enjoys what she does as a chef. Let her bring her passion to you through her coaching.
