The Food Truck Frenzy

 You might have heard that the latest food craze “food trucks” are taking the country by storm. Why wouldn’t they though, they’re convenient, always on the move, serving fresh gourmet food on the go, they’re restaurants on wheels! With blogger’s covering their every move and TV shows created specifically about them its no wonder why they’re all around.
A few weeks ago I got the chance to meet the two young ladies behind Foodies on the Fly (FOTF), a great blog covering everything from Food Trucks to couture. FOTF informed me of a Gourmet Food Truck Expo being held here in Boca Raton, Florida! The expo had a variety of cuisines for foodies to indulge in. From Miami to West Palm Beach, (Boca Raton is in the middle) here are just a few:

-The Curbside Gourmet
-Dim Ssam a gogo
-The MexZican Gourmet
-Slow Food
-Aaron’s Catering Express 
-Nacho Bizness
-Sugar Yummy Mama

Hands On

 The best utensil’s we have are our hands. We use them to show emotions, signs of affection, to greet others and to cook. In the case of this post I’m using hands to teach and inspire. You may notice the following photos below do not contain faces but hands, which belong to the teenagers of the Children’s Home Society in West Palm Beach, FL. The home is a safe place of residence where kids can get help fast. Whether its issues of child abuse, teen pregnancy, or runaway’s the home provides a shelter for those in need of help. Since cooking is a way of connecting with others, making memories, and inspiring I thought how great it would be to show these teens what real food and cooking is all about and how fun it can be. Of course I couldn’t do this alone so I brought my good friends, Aviva, Eric, Jordan and Paula along.
