A Picture of Vibrancy!

Hello!  Welcome to the newest incarnation of the Enchanted Kitchen.  School has started and I have hired 2 full-time employees!  This is exciting on so many levels.  I am not used to having this constant help and it is amazing.   We are all working together so seamlessly…an Enchanted Family!

I wanted to post (FINALLY) a picture of the food that I am always preparing and gushing about.

This was my lunch today…

Sunny Zoodles with Pico de Gallo

Zoodles tossed with garden fresh pico de gallo, sweet yellow bell peppers, topped with Sunflower Seed pate and a side salad of avocado, crispy cucumbers and Creamy Basil Ginger Tahini

Come in for some Yum!

A Breath of Fresh Air

It’s been a while since I’ve updated here.  It’s been a hectic few weeks.  Learning how to juggle the new cafe, the home, the child, the husband AND the new website is a process!! 

Today feels so fresh..perhaps it’s the gentle rain that is nourishing my garden while I am here.   My beautiful, abundant garden gives me so much inspiration to feed everyone, so today I gave Yemaya a MAKEOVER!!   She is lovingly bedecked in 4 varietes of basil from my garden, as well as the juice of 2 fresh and zingy limes!  Come and experience this new taste sensation.

I also thought it was about time I do some desserts!  So today I bring you Fig Raisin Pecan Truffles rolled in Coconut.  YUMMM.  Come in and experience the ZING of lovingly prepared food.  Nourish your Soul!

Gardens are so inspiring!

It’s Thursday night, and already my head is full of what I want to create to feed everyone tomorrow!   Inspired by the bushy, blooming basil in my garden, I gave a fresh, new twist to my Thai-hini.  With the addition of purple and cinnamon basil and the juice of some fresh limes..WOW!  Holy new taste extravaganza!   My dinner largely consisted of cucumber spears and red pepper slices dipped in this Earthy, spicy, bright concoction.

What that means for you, dear Cafe patrons, is this:

Yemaya-Thai-Mania! Crisp leaves of Chinese Cabbage, filled with Yemaya’s Delight, cucumbers, red peppers, avocado, pineapple AND mango (I couldn’t decide between the two, so I just decided to add both!) and drizzled or slathered..you choose…with Basil-Lime Thai-hini.  Served with a side salad and your choice of fresh Gemelli bread or Gluten free crackers.  $12.95

Market Medley Quiche Back by popular demand!   Ok, 3 people asked today if the quiche would be a staple, and one person who missed lunch hoped that I would make it again.  I think that qualifies as popular demand, don’t you?!

Imagine a medley of local veggies: zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, parsley, and some not yet local..carrots, sundried tomatoes and celery…marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a few other secrets…The zucchini in thin strips as the first layer..the rest of the veggies minced and pressed, then topped with herbed ‘mashed potatoes’ (cauliflower and cashews) then warmed in the dehydrator till everything is delicious and warm and the potatoes have just enough crisp…THAT is Raw Vegan Quiche!

For those of you that just can’t decide…I offer you the Summer Sampler…a lovely salad with all the fixins…served with a scoop each of The Enchanted Kitchen essentials..Hummus, Sunflower Seed Pate and Yemaya’s Delight.  Available with freshly baked Gemelli bread or Gluten free crackers.

For your weekend Vegan delights,  I have Spreads to go..in 8 or 16 oz containers.

For the best smoothie you will ever have…come in and visit the Smoothie Queen!  Frannie Root brews up some new frozen delicacies every day!  Our newest and most loved…the Choco-Chai, an energizing and uplifting frozen fantasy of Banana, Apple, Cashew, Ginger, Coconut, Cacao and a few things we just can’t tell you.

Stop in and experience the RAW Zing!

I start with strips of green zucchini, then a blend of cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, celery, sundried tomatoes, herbs and spices, marinated to perfection, another layer of zucchini and topped with ‘Mashed Potatoes’.  An unbelievable taste sensation!  The quiche is then warmed in the dehydrator, melding all the flavors and gently crisping the potatoes.
