Wendy's Home Economics & Culinary Adventures I'm all about Culinary Adventures in AND out of the kitchen... and keeping Home Economics alive. All in one package?

Classy seasoned with a pinch of sassy... you'll find throw cooking, and nekkid food cooking... nekkid just like God gave it to us. Wendy's HOME EConomics! …where “Home Ec never went out of style… just wasn’t kewl for a while!”
Join domestic gods, goddesses and wannabes as we converge to share a few household hints, yummy recipes, enjoy culinary adventures and a snicker here and there. Don’t be sur

prised if you get a serving of sassy with a side of classy too! Realizing I don’t fit any “box,” I anointed myself “Culinary Adventurist.” I’m a proud Pirate Girl… an East Carolina University alum, graduating with honors (a century ago) in Home Economics Education. Somewhat of an “evangelist,” I do love preaching about the goodness that grows in North Carolina and babbling about delicious products born here, new and old… and WILL remind you to . Speaking of old, I have managed to collect decades of experiences in culinary business management, coaching & consulting, recipe development and testing, food photography propping and styling, agri-tourism & culinary journalism, “SoWcial” media management, brand ambassadorship, cooking instruction, on-stage culinary entertaining, cooking contest judging, healthcare food management and more. Details about all that stuff can be seen on my LinkedIn profile at https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendyleighperry What might I do for YOUR company? I have been throwing food together to see what happens since Santa brought my first EZ Bake oven many Christmases ago. Along the way, I started throwing together shindigs and a few hootenannies too, featuring my nekkid food… and although I’m too damn old to offer catering services now, have fed many thousands my unique southern creations with the appropriate accoutrement long before those now making such things (and themselves) famous were even born! You might sometimes see me with Squash Blossom out and about… my cute little vintage camper. We have been spotted at festivals for my marketing and social media clients, at farmers’ markets doing nekkid throw cook’n demos, fling’n out backyard weddings, and at friend’s agri-tourism on site farm events. SquashBlossomAdventures.com

And wouldn’t you know it, I was the 1st personal chef in the Raleigh/Triangle market. Way back when, I created an association with international members that taught thousands how to become personal chefs too. AND wrote a 15 chapter educational manual that sits in the Library of Congress. As you can see, I don’t wear monotony well and need to change aprons often, which bodes well for my clients and their assorted needs. Where else can you find a gal who can create recipes for your product(s), style and photograph them, market on social media and in other ways and… write about it? Soooo, if you and your product, farm or small local business needs a culinary adventure, I just might be your gal.

Sharing this upcoming FREE online series for you or to share with folks that might be interested... much of which I get asked since this has been my world for 5 decades and have worked in every niche of the culinary world. What you can and can't do with a PERMITTED home kitchen (you cannot legally sell foods from a PERMITTED home kitchen that requires refrigeration... like cheesecakes, cream pies/desserts, meat items, tamales, cold salads, etc.) and should be cautious buying and eating such! I've never understood how folks blindly buy and eat food picked up from meeting somebody in a parking lot ordered on facebook from strangers! No kitchen inspections. Not insured. Not trained and certified in safe food handling... ewww.

This is a 6 part series that will be covering a LOT of information... and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have too... just PM me!
If you're not familiar with the Small Business Center Network and in business of ANY sort or considering, get familiar. So many FREE resources... online classes and more! On ever imaginable topic you can think of!

What time is it? It’s time! 🍅 Before buying produce (and more) at the grocery store shipped from who knows where, remember we have so many great local farms to support around here that need us (and keeps money right here in our own community!) and tasty field tomatoes are showing up… just what you need for my “almost famous” tomato pie… made a little different than most… with Swiss cheese and fresh dill!

What local farmers do you shop with? Add them in comment below and goodies you got!!!

This week I’ve bought fresh produce (tomatoes, squash) from Stone Ridge Farm Market in Zebulon, Grateful Acres Homestead (new farm store) in Pilot (milk, fresh dug taters and Aunt Dee Dee's Kitchen seasonings) and Creekside Farm Berries (Upick “no spray” berries and produce!)
It IS the most wonderful time of year! 🍉🫐🍓🍑🍅🫛🥦🥬🌽🫑🌶️🥒🥕🧅🥔🫜🍠🥚🍞🥩🥗



Bring fresh dill to your tomato pie instead of the usual Italian herbs... you'll be glad you did! You'll love the nutty creaminess of Swiss cheese too.

Been craving a lately! So I go into my well stocked pantry (my mini grocery store) and find 371 🤪 cans of assorted pineapple tidbits… crushed… chunks… sliced… yet nary a can of pears! 🥴 Just put on today’s grocery list. What have y’all been craving lately?

Who says you must used canned pears 🍐 for this old favorite southern ? I had a couple of very ripe pears staring me in my face and trying to decide what to do with them. Several times in the past few days I’ve seen the old-fashioned southern pear salad in my Facebook feed. This was something my mama took to every church homecoming, and as much as she would always make and take more each year, it was one of the first things to get gone.
I shredded a bit of iceberg lettuce and tossed with a bit of grated cheese 🧀 and Duke's Mayonnaise then sprinkled with a dusting of salt. 🧂 I diced the pears 🍐 and cherries 🍒 in a bowl and spooned over the dressed lettuce and dusted all with some freshly ground black pepper. Simply delicious!😋

A little truth for the day — surround yourself with people who encourage, inspire, and point you toward what’s good. And help our children do the same.

If anyone is in the market for a zester and/or grater, I'm 100% happy with my recent purchase. Didn't realize just how dull my old one was until my maiden voyage with this new one, that somehow took a little hunka chunka from a finger! Just my stoopid fault for being so excited about how awesome it was zesting. And just $7.99 for all!

【Ideal Dimensions and Sturdy Build】This set of 2 zesters, crafted from 304 stainless steel, measures 13.3 inches and weighs 79g. The combination of steel and plastic grip offers both durability and a comfortable hold, ready for various kitchen tasks. 【Multifunctional Grating Tool】These zeste...
