Traveler Test Kitchen – Coffee Cup Chilaquiles

We’ve decided to test out some creative, easy-to-prepare recipes in the kitchen of our home office to see if we recommend them for our travelers. We’ll feature a new recipe each month that we’ve prepared in our very limited kitchen and had our employees test and rate. We’ll also show you unedited photos of how our food turned out, so you can compare our real-world versions to the ultra-fancy food blogs where we got the recipes.

What will my kitchen be like? Our housing department will give you as much information on vetted properties, or provide furnished housing. For health care travelers, there’s always that touch of unknown going into an assignment. Easy recipes for busy travelers — we’ve got you covered, whatever size kitchen.
