Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

I hate to declare victory too soon, but it’s been several weeks, and my perennial morning glory is not eaten.  I’m using original Irish spring soap, cut each bar in half, run a wire through it, and hang it at their preferred eating level.  Anything they typically eat, I’m hanging a half bar on.  At least…

Beef Tenderloin Salad

Posted on May 8, 2016October 4, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

One night at the lodge, we had a lot of leftover beef tenderloin.  I love beef salads in the spring.  If I’m using leftover beef, I don’t like it overcooked, so salads seem to be the ticket.  So for Beef Tenderloin Salad, I tossed it with a vinaigrette, and let it sit at room temperature….

Cinco De Mayo 2016

Posted on May 7, 2016October 4, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

I’ve been cooking at the lodge for a couple weeks, and we had a little Cinco De Mayo celebration this year.  My sous chef is a fabulous cook, and hispanic.  She made her homemade tortillas, and some homemade gorditas.  They were the star of breakfast and appetizers.  Nina came to help me in the evening…
