💚I’m so excited to be a part of this incredible retreat project at Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center. Come explore what food peace feels—and tastes—like with me. 🥦🥕🫜

This weekend retreat invites you into a transformational experience. Together, we will:

• Explore wisdom from earth-honoring sages, physiology, and nutrition science.
• Reflect on how our food choices connect us to the web of life.
• Redefine success as flourishing on Earth—where food nurtures rather than depletes, connects rather than isolates, and honors rather than exploits.
• Create personal and community-centered practices that cultivate “food peace” for health, harmony, and wholeness.

At the heart of our time together will be shared meals, conversation, and reflection—building a pathway of peace with food at the center of the table.

🫣 A peak behind the scenes …

The Plantiful Pantry cookbook is almost done! Today, I tested one of the newest additions—a smoothie recipe for the snack section. Gus was my official taste tester. If you know Gus, you know he had notes. 😆

📗This book isn’t just a collection of recipes. It’s built to be used—YOUR companion for making plant-based eating easy, stress-free, and delicious.

👉 What’s one plant-based meal or snack you’d love to master this year? Drop it in the comments. This book is 💯 for you and I want to make sure I don’t miss anything!

(Tomorrow, I’ll be asking you an important question about the format—stay tuned! 👀)
