Until Culinary School

I started the Culinary Management program at Oregon Culinary Institute in September 2012! I'm having fun learning and thought I'd share my journey with you. I also reblog awesome ideas I'd like to try. Anything I post that is not my own, I try to keep it sourced. Thanks for checking it out!

Sorry y'all, no food photos for a while...

I started my academic classes. It will be 4 months of Oenology & Viniculture, Restaurant Management, Beverage Service & Mixology, Restaurant Marketing...oh yeah, and College Writing. Loving it so far but really missing kitchen time. I need to keep practicing my knife skills so I can still brunoise like a boss! 

Thanks for following!

6 Fruits You Should Try

Dragon Fruit

This fruit is an excellent supplement for the liver as well as contains vital minerals that assist in weight-loss and balancing body weight without compromising health. For people suffering from diabetes, a dry or fresh dragon fruit guarantees blood glucose control. 

Star Fruit

This fruit is an excellent source of ascorbic acid, which is important to the fitness of your body, as it assists in maintaining bones, teeth, mucus membranes, skin and improves the immune system. It also contains beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in your body for good vision and appetite.

Kiwano

This fruit is very rich in vitamin c and fibre. These help the red bloods cells, skin, muscles, nerves and heart. Vitamin E works in the body by helping to neutralize the damage from free radicals which can cause cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Mangosteen

This fruit has a very high concentration of xanthones that is one of the most powerful anti-oxidents in the world. The fruit also boosts the body’s immune systems and helps increase energy levels.

Sugar Apple

This fruit helps regulate the menstrual cycle, and contains a large amount of rosemary oil which can help fight off depression. This fruit also contains cineole which aids the body’s nervous system, helps in blood circulation, and improves concentration. This fruit as well aids in reducing the severity of asthma. 

Goji Berry

Goji berries are called the world’s most nutritional powerful anti-aging food. Goji berries are the highest rated antioxidant and have more vitamin C than oranges, more beta-carotene than carrots, more protein than whole wheat and more iron than steak.
