Friday FRIYAY at the #MissionKitchen! Today was a super productive day in the kitchen. Dave was a rockstar ... got the pasta warming and coleslaw prepped for today and organized the day. Lunch was a ground meat with penné in a creamy tomatoe sauce accompanied by coleslaw with cherry tomatoes, a big helping of my cherry Berry fruit salad from yesterday and a soft dinner roll. We served up 120 healthy & hardy meals by 10:30. Kim was Superwoman 🦸‍♀️ today .. she brought homemade slaw and helped Chef R ... chopping and slicing tomatoes, olives and onions for that scrumptious Mediterranean salad before getting to work prepping a fruit salad. Thanks for your hard work, Kim 😃👍🏼👊🏼🙌🏼 Chef R was on pasta duty for the weekend's meals ... boiling a massive pot of elbow macaroni and TWO HUGE POTS of tomatoe sauce. I ground, seasoned and cooked some meat for him and he turned it into EIGHT flats of finished pasta. Wow! 😍😍😍 #chefontheloose #AllStarKrew #MissionCooking #ComnunityFood #Makingadifference #givingback #kitcheninservice #BackDoorMission (at Back Door Mission for the Relief of Poverty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKwztzpa3Q/?igshid=13lzc283dze0p

Thursday from the #MissionKitchen! We served up 150 hot, healthy meals by 11:00 am and 180 total! Lunch featured a red pepper & garlic roast chicken over a tasty lentil & onion white rice with a side of green peas and corn niblets, finished with Chef @willkk tasty gravy and a roll to soak it all up. The starter was Chef Rs pasta salad with green olives, cucumber & tomatoes in a light vinaigrette. A blueberry, strawberry and maraschino cherry salad for dessert was accompanied by one of the best oatmeal chocolate cookies I've ever had (cookies must be sampled to prove their worthiness 😁😁😉😇). Huge thanks to @cuddlyx10 and Kim for the cookies! Does Chef William look happy to receive this donation of herbs and spices? You bet your 🍑 he does 🤣😂🤣😂 Huge thank you to Gail and her friend for donating these to our cause! #chefontheloose #AllStarKrew #MissionCooking #ComnunityFood #Makingadifference #givingback #kitcheninservice #BackDoorMission (at Back Door Mission for the Relief of Poverty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKLg5_pExA/?igshid=1dqtrlmyqmxth

Terrific Thursday at the #MissionKitchen Today, we served Rotini in a tomato sauce. Donna and Dave added a healthy serving of ground beef plus sautéed onion & celery and topped it off with shredded cheese! A really great meal. Chef R provided his creamy coleslaw as a starter and I whipped up this very-berry fruit salad with blueberries, peaches, oranges, apples, melons and grapes. Chef @willkk was off racing his motorcycle, so we had to determine our serving size ... "chef w size" or "DONNA SIZE"! 🤣🤣😂🤣😂 We decided somewhere in between ... we had to feed 200 people 😀😁 Huge thanks to @cuddlyx10 and her sister Kim for providing some much needed relief. They're chopping machines! #chefontheloose #AllStarKrew #MissionCooking #ComnunityFood #Makingadifference #givingback #kitcheninservice #BackDoorMission (at Back Door Mission for the Relief of Poverty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1fer1pV87/?igshid=g34wg93hpv1i

It was a crazy Thursday at the #MissionKitchen. It was only Chef @willkk and I for the morning. We made enough food for 200 people... just us. We made up elbow macaroni with a ground meat and creamy rosé sauce, tender asparagus and onion with roast zucchini and onion on top. We finished the main course with either a slice of baguette or multi grain bread. The starter was a mixed green salad with tomatoes, mushroom and cucumber in a light Italian dressing. Dessert was fresh grapes with a slice of apple turnover pastry. Chef William and I just put our noses down and got everything done. We had 120 meals served by 10:30 with another 30 half prepped. I needed to get off my sore ankle at that point. Sam came by later on to help clean up and keep an eye on William .. make sure he wasn't slacking after I left 🤣😂🤣😂 Sam's a riot to have in the kitchen .. just don't let him steal your broom 🤪🤪🤪🤪 #chefontheloose #AllStarKrew #MissionCooking #ComnunityFood #Makingadifference #givingback #kitcheninservice #BackDoorMission (at Back Door Mission for the Relief of Poverty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkhLdkp4Bn/?igshid=173u0x9hhm966
