Recipes Galore!

I started a new job! I'm cooking in a little cafe that caters to senior citizens! Nutritional and price friendly meals! It's only been a week since I've started, but I already think it has been the best place I've worked in the food industry. The Chef and I are always on the same page. She stresses the importance of sanitation, and comes up with great menus - a different one every day! Here are one of the recipes we adjusted and put together for my job interview!
