Chef Bev Giving Back: NV Childhood Cancer Foundation

Sending out a great big HUG to Karen Egloso, her team and the amazing parents of the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation. You ROCK!

I had the unique opportunity to share my knowledge and love for food with parents who have children who suffer with some form of childhood disease. What a humbling experience. I entertained these wonderful parents with a cooking demo showing them how to take $20 and serve a family of 4. WOW! Yes, it can be done and I did it for the amazing parents who deserve it most. We all had a wonderful afternoon and wonderful food.

The Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation is a 501 c 3 and their mission is simple, to work side by side with the medical community to provide social, emotional, educational, financial and psychological support services and programs to families of ALL children diagnosed with a life threatening or critical illness such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle cell, hemophilia, renal disorders and other immunologic diseases. Contact them at http://www.nvccf.org/ for more information. A great organization to be apart of and I am so grateful that they chose me to put a smile on the parents face.

On the menu for this day I prepared for them:

Vegetable & Meat Hot Pockets
Spring Greens with Roasted Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Mini Banana Cream Pies with Fresh Raspberry Sauce

A meal fit for royalty, easy on the eyes, satisfying to the stomach and pocket friendly.

Thank you NVCCF.
