When life gives you lemons learn to make limoncello

Life's tossed some lemons our way and we've decided to embrace them, squeeze them, grate them and infuse them in our lemonade or limoncello(Is an Italian lemon liquor) But in the mist of all this I find encouragement in Jeremiah29;11 that says For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord: The plans are to prosper and not to harm you to give you future and hope. Is it amazing how the Lord promises make me feel secure in my dependency on Him and on His amazing grace. So grateful for that!

After months and months of delays and rejections we're are closer than ever to say hello to "Chameleon Cafe" The wait was well worth it! The name we choose for our restaurant will synthesizes our philosophy of changing menu and to adapt a new idea from serving cafe to really amazing meals.

Before we start working on renovating the place we are applying for all the licences and Inspections from the city and we are hoping for Mario and his crew to start right after that.

They will come on board to pound, bang, saw,drill,sing to make this place complete. I'm sure they will be few bumps on the road but I'm sure overall will be all good and exciting.
So in the mind time can I ask you for a teeny little favor? Until Chameleon's door opens actually doors, please pray for us, shout out a word of encouragement or two every so often. I'm so excited by the whole process and feel so unbelievably fortunate to be fulfilling our dreams once again, but every so often it will feel overwhelming.

So I will try something different. I will let the fun begin and I will continue to trust the Lord, and celebrate the coming of Chameleon.

Thinking of menu making decisions and being creating is something that I love so t the thought gives me goosebumps. Think about fried chicken served on a beautiful plate, I know is not gourmet but let's face it who doesn't love a piece of crunch fried chicken? I do...even Thomas Kelller loves fried chicken...so there!!!

I'm really excited for Pumpkin spice out of the oven with a cup of morning coffee, butternut squash soup dotted with creme fraiche and chives. We will bake, cook, make pizza, fresh bread and many more. We have a vast amount of foodie knowledge and we're up to date on all the foodie trends.

I will keep you updated with photos and information's a soon as contractions begins.

From my kitchen to yours,
