Hey Foodie Fam, I have something REALLY exciting to share with you 🥹🍴 Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about how healthy eating can sometimes feel overwhelming, lonely, or honestly just plain boring. Meal prep especially can start to feel more like a chore than something enjoyable. So… I decided I wanted to create something different ✨ Introducing: Prep, Plate & Yap, my brand new monthly virtual Supper Club! A live cooking experience where we prep a flavorful meal together...

Hey Foodie Fam, A few months ago, I wrote to you all about wanting to reconnect with hobbies, creativity, and the parts of us that often get pushed aside once adulthood starts feeling like one long to-do list. One of the hobbies I decided to pick up this year was vegetable gardening. And let me tell you… I didn’t know the first thing about it. So instead of pretending I knew what I was doing, I decided to seek out wisdom from people who did. I volunteered at a local vegetable farm. And...

Hey Foodie Fam, This month, I’ve been sitting with a simple but powerful realization: thinking is not the same as doing. And if I’m being real with you… I’ve spent years thinking myself out of things. This year, I’m choosing something different. I’m overthinking less and doing more. Because when I look back, it’s not the big, dramatic moments that held me back, it was the small, everyday decisions I talked myself out of. Not doing the dishes when I should have because I told myself I’d do...

Hey Foodie Fam, Lately I’ve been thinking about something that doesn’t get talked about enough. When did we stop having hobbies? When did we stop doing things just because they were fun… or whimsical… or creative… or made absolutely no sense financially? Somewhere between becoming the “new adults”, paying bills, building careers, navigating health scares, managing relationships, and trying to meal prep on Sundays, we quietly let go of the things that once made us feel light. Remember when we...

Hey Foodie Fam, It is the month of love, and we hear a lot about self-love these days: bubble baths, spa days, and treating yourself (which I fully support). Today I want to talk about the type of self-love that changes your life; that’s built in the quiet, ordinary moments… especially in the morning. Before the emails, before the responsibilities, before everyone else needs a piece of you, there’s you. And how you start your day can shape how you show up for everything else. For me,...

Hey Foodie Fam, Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were full of good food, warm moments, and that you’ve been staying cozy during these cold winter days. With the start of a new year often comes a lot of noise. New Year resolutions. Big goals. Pressure to “lock in” and change everything overnight. And honestly? That can feel exhausting. So today, I want to invite you into a different conversation, one about rest. Winter is naturally a slower season. The days are shorter, our bodies crave...

Hey Foodie Fam, As the year begins to wind down, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for being here, for cooking with me, for trying something new, and for choosing yourself and your health, even during a season that can feel busy, emotional, and full of all the food. The holidays don’t have to be about perfection or restriction. They can be about connection, comfort, and meals that feel just as good as they taste. And yes, your holiday table can still be flavorful,...

Hey Foodie Fam, You may have noticed (or maybe not, lol) that you haven’t heard from me much this month, and here’s why: burnout. For some reason, every year around October, I hit a wall mentally and physically. This time, I finally decided to listen to my body and take a proper break to rest, recharge, and reflect. During that downtime, I spent some time reevaluating how I want to show up for you, while still honoring my own health and energy. So here’s what’s changing for the rest of this...
