Talk about missing out on something truly delicious! Believe it or not I’ve been talking about trying Sushi for quite some time now and haven’t given myself the chance to do it until recently. My sister-in-law Gina R. called me the other day and invited me over for some girl talk and mimosas and low and behold took me for my first sushi experience.
It has been a while since I was last on BBWO and that's about to change because it's high time I get more involved with you beautiful black women in business. Anyway like the title says, yes I'm recovering from a horrible scam. Two weeks ago I was approached by a production company who I thought was the real deal. We made plans for them to help me produce a pilot for my new cooking show as a companion to my new cookbook coming out in Sept. Well needless to say after researching them a bit further a few of my fellow networking buddies uncovered that they were a scam and I should stay clear of them.Now with all that said they are trying to put a lien on me which I'm still trying to figure out how they could do that and what type of lien? I'm having to consult and lawyer which I should have before all this madness, but I somehow lost the ball in that area. If anything I'm looking at this as a very well learned lesson in business that I should have had my eyes opened to. I've heard stories of people falling victim and yet I fall flat on my face as well.The best advice I could share with you is please please do your research before signing anything. And as expensive retaining a lawyer may be it's completely necessary for your business. I'm going to start posting updates on my progress so many of you who what to know will learn from my mistakes and triumphs.Peace, Love & Sweet Treats!Latrice FowlerAuthorRaising Chefs...not just good cooks!www.raisingchefs.comwww.goingproathome.comwww.latricefowler.com

Hello Ladies! I've been in the kitchen lately trying to get ready to retest some of my recipes for my cookbook coming out soon and wanted to share a little quick recipe I came up with last Saturday. This particular recipe will not be in my up and coming cookbook "Raising Chefs", it was a "just because I was hungry" recipe that I came up with and wanted to share with this community. Let me know if you try it and what you're honest opinions are. I also will start posting recipes that will be in the book in the weeks to come as I retest them and get them ready to be photographer and I need some quality feedback from the BBWO Community. So if you would be so kind and help me out in this matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!!!Texas Style Macaroni Pasta n/a Balsamic Red SauceINGREDIENTS1 cup texas style macaroni or your favorite pasta1 8 oz. can tomato sauce2 tbsp butter2 large garlic cloves minced1/4 cup chopped green peppers1 tsp italian seasoning1 tsp parsley flakes1 tbsp dried onions1/4 cup balsamic vinegar1 tbsp olive oilfresh mozzarella cubedsalt & pepper to tasteDIRECTIONSCut mozzarella cheese into small cubes and place in fridge to chill. In a saucepan bring 4 cups of water to a boil adding a pinch or two of salt to season the pasta. Pour in the Texas Style Macaroni or your favorite pasta and cook until al dente (approx. 7-10 minutes) or until as soft as you like your pasta to be. (Make sure before you drain the pasta you reserve at lease a few tablespoons of the pasta water for your sauce.)Next, in a different saucepan on med-high heat add butter and sauté the garlic, green peppers for 4 minutes or until soft but not mushy. Bring the heat down to med-low heat and add in your seasonings, tomato sauce and simmer for another 3 minutes. Now add in your balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and the paste water you reserved earlier, stir well and salt/pepper to your taste. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Toss in the pasta and coat very well with this beautiful bright balsamic red sauce full of unbelievable flavor.In a serving bowl place a few mozzarella cubes in the bottom of the bowl, then spoon in some of the pasta layering cheese and pasta. Once you've reach your desired proportion toss the pasta and cheese together and the hot pasta will start to melt the chilled mozzarella to its ooo-wee-goo-wee goodness!Serves 2Peace, Love, and Sweet Treats!!!Latrice FowlerAuthorRaising Chefs...not just good cooks!www.raisingchefs.com
