Cozy Slow Cooker Beef Stew By Chef and fellow ALKie, Juli Posner

You might be surprised to know that at the end of my busy personal chef workday cooking for others, I rarely spent any time or energy making a delicious meal for myself. This is why I love slow cookers!!! This stew can also be made on the stovetop if you have time to spare, but for busy people like me a slow cooker can’t be beaten!With its quick prep and easily accessible ingredients, by the end of the day (or overnight) you have a delicious, rich, cozy beef stew packed with nourishing vegetables and tender beef.

The Low Country Boil: Recipe by fellow ALKie and Chef Juli Posner

This is my favorite Southern Beach Bake (even though I'm from the North). I’ve prepared this it for clients and family alike. It's great for the warm weather of summer, and it feeds a crowd. Cover the entire table with butcher paper or newspaper, set out some rolls of paper towels, some fun hot sauces, and mustards, some bowls for shells, and leave the utensils in their drawer. For this recipe we let everyone eat with their hands!

Pearl Couscous and Lentil Salad Recipe By chef, fellow ALKie, Juli Posner

This salad is so colorful and fresh, it looks gorgeous on any buffet table.

It can be a side, yet it doubles as the main event if you add your favorite protein! (Shrimp works beautifully).

With lots of texture from crunchy cucumbers, salty brininess from Kalamata olives, and sweetness from golden raisins, it's a virtual party in your mouth!! It's certainly a favorite of mine as well as many of my clients!

*Serves 4-6 ; Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Hearty Fall Vegetable Soup recipe by chef and fellow ALKie, Juli Posner

With the cold weather upon us ( and the holidays right around the corner), I love making a one-pot meal that's great the "day of”, and only gets better day-by-day….. That is, if your family doesn’t devour it in one sitting! Having it be super healthy is an extra added bonus! For this soup, which is more like a stew, a little crusty bread on the side is really all you need.
