If you follow my blog you have noticed by now that I make mom food. Great mom food, but comforting, easy, usually healthy mom food. And that's super, but I would love to cook like they do on Top Chef. So, starting August 30th I am going to culinary school! I am going to be a chef!! Bubba, Goose, and Tink are super excited for me, although Goose is worried that I will be making "fancy food" that she doesn't care for. Not to worry, Goose, I will still make mom food. :) There are a lot of people in my life who have encouraged me to go to culinary school. My buddies PMP (and her mom), Ms. K, and Ms. F are just a few of my strongest supporters and I thank them from the bottom of my heart!! Bubba's family are also really supportive and excited to be my guinea pigs when I start making "fancy food."
To enter the contest, just leave a comment on this post answering this question:
What is the first "fancy food" dish I should make for my picky Goose?
The contest ends at 5pm a week from Monday on the 30th of August (my first day of culinary school). Winner will be chosen at random. (CSN Stores only ships to the US and Canada, so the winner will need to have a stateside or Canadian shipping address.)

First Fancy Food....what about a cornish game hen? It might be fun to eat a tiny chicken.
How about trying some stuffed zuccini blossoms- i always see those on the 'fancy' food shows, they look interesting- it would be fun to try them out.

Culinary School and being a Chef will come naturally to you, Sunshine Mom.
I know you will have great success.
Now, you just need to serve your Goose Pickled Shrimp with Cajun Remoulade. It is a southern specialty and looks interesting.
Good Luck and Love,
Cowwoman
So excited you made your announcement, mama. You're going to be awesome!
Now, for Goose... fancy food... how about Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers? LOL. By this I mean you could just start by fancying up your staples.
I am so excited to hear about your plans to start culinary school! What a big step!
As for 'fancy food' my friend who grew up with a Swiss chef as a father ate a lot of mushroom gravy and rice: staples of a 'fancy' restaurant. And a basic risotto is pretty tasty and even tastes a lot like mom food!
For something fancy, how about either chicken or crab wellington?

Congratulations on your going to culinary school! How exciting! I know that I am not qualify to enter this giveaway, but just for fun. How about grilled chicken kebabs served with a fantastic dip and a scrumptious salad...
Individual Cornish Hens with Grapes and Onions! It is super easy but looks so fancy and everyone gets their own beautiful spread :)
"Macaronis et Fromage"
I bet the picky goose would like a french version of macaroni and cheese.
Ooohhh, I'd love to go to culinary school, but there's not one anywhere near. I'll have to settle for cooking mom food for now. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! I think you should make some kind of fancy pastry. Maybe one with a fruit and cream filling. Yummers!
Just came over from Kitchen Flavours- it's my first visit to your blog, but I'll be back! Thanks!

You should make homemade spaghetti noodles with meatballs. Kids love pasta and I'm sure they'll teach you how to make homemade noodles.
