Food

Like to introduce you to one of the owners of Bari Beef headquartered in Elgin Illinois. Nick Favia is one of the owners of Bari Beef, the best Italian Beef in the country. I have sent Italian Beef from Bari Beef to my CEO Mike Kortas and President Mat Grella multi times and they love it. CEO KORTAS would have fired my ass if I sent shifty Beef. I sent Bari Beef to all our senior advisors at NEXA MORTGAGE and they all love it. I want to thank everyone at Corporate NEXA Mortgage especially Taylor Bradley, Aes, Kristi Wake, Rana Mortensen, Mat Grella, Miriam Montojo, Mrs. Edna Kortas, Mike Neill, and the the ultimate CEO Mike Kortas for everything they do for me and my team. Like to thank Counselor Wendy Lahn ESQ and Mr. Nick Favia for the great Bari Beef 👍.

The USDA has cleared and approved Americans to sell lab grown meat. This brings up controversy among Americans. We will cover more on this topic.

Does anyone know good tasting food for type one and type two diabetics?

I can eat pizza every day. Crispy thin crust is the way to go. Prefer sausage and meatball as toppings. The Chicago deep dish is delicious, but eats like a meal…not pizza.

What do you prefer?

I love supporting small businesses. Local bakeries are such a special part of any neighborhood. Some of my favorites are –

https://www.webersbakery.com – Weber’s is a Chicago institution. Old-school, full-service bakery.

https://wolfsbakery.co/ – Wolfs has been my favorite since I was little. The Atomic cake is a South Side staple – layers of whipped cream, strawberries chocolate, and pineapple sandwiched between alternating layers of yellow and chocolate cake. The angelfood cake with chocolate buttercream frosting is my favorite!

https://www.deettasbakery.com/home – prettiest cake balls ever!

https://www.hahnsbakery.com/ – family owned and operated. Lovely people. Great scones and donuts.

https://www.floriole.com/ – the baked goods are almost to pretty to eat! Super trendy.

https://simplelakegeneva.com/bakery/ – organic farm to table cafe and bakery in Lake Geneva.

There are so many amazing places. Tell me about your favorites. 🙂

Is it unhealthy to eat three eggs a day? if yes, then how many we can eat?

Last Grapevine:

Last grapevine I mentioned truth in advertising; I am not done! Let’s start with organic. When organic was first introduced, it was great; although a little pesticide was used, parts per million, the produce was ugly. They never grew in a uniformed way. So they changed the meaning of the word, enabling them to use more pesticides. There will also be pesticides in fruits and vegetables because the farmer has to bring his crop to market and keep it fresh. Sulfur will always be used. If a farm is having an issue with certain bugs in damp weather, sulfur will be used to dry the crop and preserve it.

Vegan vs. Vegetarian: there are laws no that follow vegetarian and vegan. Marketing determines the guide lines, lately you will see, “plant based” Vegetarian or vegan cheese may contain rennet. This coagulates the cheese. It is actually a cow’s intestines. The cow must be dead before being used. It is an enzyme made from cows and is extremely appetizing. Read the label; it may contain rennet. No sugar added, or sugar-free. No additional sugar is added, which comes from fructose, which is natural in sugar but also a component of high fructose corn syrup. This causes diabetes, obesity, and some cancers. Here in the US sugar is processed with “bone char” to make it whiter. FDA says natural flavors can derive from a plant or an animal. FDA, spices are okay contains none of the afore mentioned.

Did you ever read the labels on candles? Tropidelic Clary Age—I guess that is the one Keith Richards uses. Tropidelic: does it contain LSD? Clary, sage, lavender, beetroot, and eucalyptus all contain herbal healing elements. If you believe in herbal medicines, Palo Santo, which means Saint Paul. Many cultures have used this wood for healing. A natural remedy for pain also comes in bracelet form. Why are these ingredients in candles?

If you are really serious about being a vegan or a vegetarian buy nothing in a package. Oops, apples are coated with ground beetle shells called, “black resin,” which is used in epoxy glue.

You heard it through the grapevine.

Being Italian and I learned how to cook by watching my family. They didn’t write recipes, and to this day I don’t use recipes. All I want to know is how long and how hot to cook the protein. So, here is a quick pasta dish that requires no recipe. Cacio E’ Pepe. Five ingredients; past, preferably a linguine or bucatini, a good parmigiano cheese, like a Reggiano or Pecorino Romano, butter, salt and pepper. Boil pasta al dente, drain, reserve a little water, return to pot and stove. Add butter, salt, pepper and pasta water, stir and serve. Cacio means cheese and Pepe means pepper, so season accordingly.

I drink and I smoke!

Hey, I bet you just got a visual of me! Ha! But what I mean is, I drink great wine and I smoke food on a smoker. What? Let me explain.

I live in Northern California and LOVE eating outside during the spring, summer, and fall. A few years ago, my husband, a licensed general contractor, built me an outdoor kitchen. My love for this kitchen is deep! However, the grill he installed scared the living daylights out of me. I was literally afraid to use it, and my husband, busy with work, didn’t have time to grill. So, I found a school—yes, a BBQ school. We signed up for classes and spent a weekend in San Francisco, CA, learning all about grilling, using that intimidating grill, and getting creative with our summer meals. Then, there was a segment on smoking. Hmm, I thought I wouldn’t want to do that, but since it was part of the course, we gladly learned about it.

This is where things took a turn—I became OBSESSED with smoking food. I mean, really obsessed! So guess what? We came back home and bought a Traeger smoker! And guess what I do more than grill now? Yes, you guessed it—I smoke!

As a sommelier, I love pairing wines with food, and I find it super fun and interesting to pair smoked foods with wine. Does anyone else smoke? Let’s talk!

I love steak on the grill, New York Strips, Rib-Eye, all of them and cooked medium rare. Or favorite steak house is Bern’s in Tampa, not only are the steaks cooked to perfection they have a desert room with old Madeiras, Cognacs and Ports that’s where I get into trouble.
