Platefull of Boys is a humorous and heartwarming blog about a full time Personal Chef and Mom who is raising 3 little boys and trying to find herself in the process.

 Chef Amanda Marrone started her career at the age of 16 as an apprentice for Chef Pete Nolasco at Sambuca Mediterranean restaurant in Dallas, Texas. After graduating high school, Amanda attended Culinary School at El Centro College. In 1999, after working at many local restaurants, Amanda decided to start a career as a personal chef. She named her company Food in a Flash. Food in a Flash has grown to be an extremely well known personal chef business serving many elite families in the D/FW area. Chef Amanda prides herself in using the finest quality of meats and produce available and strives to create one of a kind menus that meet each client’s specific needs. As well as regular weekly services, she loves to cater “Platinum Dinner Parties” where the menus consist of nothing but the best! When Chef Amanda isn’t cooking you will most likely find her driving to a myriad of sports practices and games with the windows rolled down and the music blasting. Amanda and her husband Mike have three boys (Levi, Luca and Isaac) and live in Dallas.
