ABOUT OUR SUPER Culinary DIRECTOR, Miracle Rodriguez
Birthdays never stop being special. Maybe when we get a little older some of the magic wears thin. When it just becomes another day to others, it starts to feel that way to us. Miracle Rodriguez, the Culinary Director at Our House Assisted Living and Memory Care wanted to make certain that no one feels forgotten. When a resident at Our House celebrates a birthday, Miracle and the Culinary Team prepare something special just for the birthday girl or boy — their favorite meal. That doesn’t mean all the residents eat that meal, everyone else is still served the planned menu, but the birthday resident gets a special meal just for them. That really makes the birthday resident feel special. The look of gratitude and joy on an individual’s face is what gets Miracle up in the morning.
Miracle’s professional culinary journey began two decades ago. Working first as a dishwasher, then quickly to a cook, and finally a supervisor, but her love to prepare delicious food started in her home. Her ethnic heritage is south of the border, so a big part of what she loves to cook is Mexican food. Enchiladas are at the top of her favorite foods in large part because she learned to make them from a loving grandfather. But her talent in the kitchen goes way beyond one type of food. She also loves classic American breakfast foods, like pancakes, eggs, and bacon.
Spending the last two years as part of the Our House team has been a joy for Miracle. She does everything she can to make sure the residents feel at home. After all, she knows she is coming into the resident’s home to make them feel at home.
