Hey everyone! My instagram, personal page, and threads are permanently disabled. I must have been hacked!!! There’s no one running facebook at the moment, it’s all AI. I’m not sure how to fix this!

Come taste my Baked Orzo with pan blistered cherry tomatoes at the Tomato Festival June 7th!

🍅 More to Feast On 🍅

There’s more than great food and fresh tomatoes waiting for you at the Feastival! Throughout the event, we’ll be highlighting special experiences, demonstrations, music, and gathering spaces that make the afternoon so memorable.

Join us at 2:00 PM in the air-conditioned Carriage House for a live cooking demonstration with local favorite Chef Nikki as she prepares Baked Orzo with Blistered Tomatoes. The first 50 guests will receive a sample to enjoy while supplies last.

The Carriage House will also host the Feastival raffle — making it the perfect place to cool off, gather, and experience even more of what the day has to offer.

A special thank you to Ag-Pro for sponsoring this year’s cooking demonstration. 🚜

Years ago my mom gave me this Handi Hostess Patty Press that was used by my Auntie Claire. Claire was a caterer along with her husband Uncle John (he used to call me cookie 🍪🥹). John was a bartender for the events. They were very cool people that lived across the street from my parents in North Miami when they were first married. After John died in the early 90’s, my parents took care of Claire until the day she passed away. My dad would change her lightbulbs and maintain her house, and my mom took care of everything else. It brings me great joy to revive this amazing vintage kitchen tool that definitely saw some groovy parties in the 60’s!

Trying to add more Mediterranean dishes for dinner? Check out this easy Baked Orzo recipe linked in my stories! You can also find it at chefnikki.net 😉
If you want to add chicken to this dish, sear the chicken in the same pot, remove the chicken, build the orzo dish, then add the chicken the last 10 minutes of cooking. So good and easy, I love a one pot meal! I also used whole grain orzo for this meal!
