When we ran our coffee shops in Virginia… I was always looking for creative fun things to bring to the store to up the game a bit. One item that went viral was my chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines day. Wow I could never make enough. Fresh strawberries dipped in fine Guitard dark chocolate or sweet white chocolate. The chocolate is the secret- must be the finest and never rushed to melt so they gloss up when dried.
I would order 25 pounds each of chocolate fromChicago direct and always ran out. Also melted my dip in the microwave on level 4 in 20 second increments til smooth. About 6 minutes total. Yum!

I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
I now have begun a new adventure with my love Jason, and we created the Bellman and Concierge LLC and reopened the beautiful Oaks Victorian Inn. A childhood home I knew well growing up and now saving for many to enjoy as a Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Cooking for guests and sharing traditions. Come visit us at
