Chef for a Day at Quantum House

/in /by

On Sunday, Amy Gafney and I participated in the ‘Chef for a Day’ program at Quantum House by making dinner for the current guests. Quantum House is located on the campus of St. Mary’s Hospital on 45th Street in West Palm Beach. It’s a place for people to stay while their children are being treated at the hospital. What they offer to families is a sanctuary to rest, have meals, and have one less thing to worry about for a moment.

The families we cooked for were wonderful and very appreciative. They enjoyed the healthy dishes we made. The healthy spread included chicken and broccoli pasta salad, quinoa salad with tomato, cucumber, feta, and cranberries. Side dishes included cucumber salad, crusty bread, and a fresh garden salad. For dessert, Amy made a divine apple crisp served with all natural ice cream.

Whole Wheat Veggie & Chicken Sausage Bread

Sausage Bread is something that used to appear in our house around Christmas time each year. I have fond memories of running around and eating this bread. Throwing my first holiday party in our new home, I knew it would be extra special to serve up sausage bread of my own making to share with family and friends. This dish was certainly a hit, even the healthified version is irresistible!!
