I still can’t believe that I was featured as one of Nashville’s 25 Most Beautiful People. Thank you Nashville Lifestyles Magazine for such an incredible honor. This city is full of so many wonderful, beautiful, kind, and inspiring people. To be considered among them is pretty amazing. If you had told when I moved here 10 years ago what my life would look like now, I wouldn’t have believed you. Feeling very grateful today.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

My business might just look like providing food, but there’s a really special fulfillment in giving someone breathing room in their day. My clients get to replace some of the time in a week they would spend focused on cooking with quality family time, social interaction, and self-care. We’re all dealing with so much these days and it is an incredible gift to know that I was able to help take the load off.

Name the person who has been the greatest influence in your life.

My husband, Matt O'Donnell. I have always been very independent and prided myself on being someone who works very hard, but having Matt in my corner has changed everything. He has helped me to dream bigger and build a business and a life that exceeds anything I ever thought was possible.

Do you have a favorite quote you live by that you would like to share (and why)?

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” - Maya Angelou
As someone with a tendency for perfectionism, it is a reminder to keep my focus on the most important things. When I cook for people, I don’t just want them to enjoy the food. I want them to feel seen and cared for. This goes for all my relationships and interactions outside of work as well. I want to be the kind of person that makes people feel better.

Yesterday I pulled into a parking spot at a grocery store I don’t often go to. I put the car in park and the memories hit me all at once. Four years ago I was sitting in that exact parking spot on the phone with my sister. An election had just ended and we were talking about our fears and uncertainty about the future.
Back then I was at the grocery store because I had started grocery shopping for people as a job. I needed a quick way to make money because I had been laid off from a job I loved. I had also ended a long relationship. I had no savings and no idea what was next. Everything felt uncertain and scary.

If you could have given me a snapshot back then into my life now, I wouldn’t have believed you.
So much has changed.

I now own a business that is growing faster than I ever imagined it would. I’m with a man who I love more than I ever thought possible. I traveled the world and did things that felt impossible to me. I stopped looking for other people’s approval and started dreaming about the life I actually wanted... and I’ve busted my ass to try and make that life a reality.

Last night felt kind of like coming full circle. I was in the same place but everything was different.
To top it all off, I got to end the night with tears in my eyes as I watched the first female Vice President-Elect give a speech reminding all of us that anything and everything is possible. So cheers to all of that possibility!

COMPOSTING!

It is super important to me to be conscious about the impact my business has on the environment. I want to be as close to zero waste as possible, which is why I am committed to using compostable packaging. I work with the amazing folks at who are working to help grow food not landfills!
It’s simple. I’ll even pick up your used containers each week to compost for you.

Just wanted to stop for a minute to say THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of you who trust me to fill your fridge with food each week. It has been a dream realized and I am so unbelievably grateful that I get to do this.

Thank you to all of my friends and family who have encouraged me and believed in me. Thank you for being patient with me on the days I miss your calls and texts because building a business can be pretty all consuming. Thank you for reminding me to stop and breathe from time to time.

And thank you for being my partner in all of this. For being my other set of arms and for taking on my dreams with as much care and determination as you would your own.

I am so very lucky.

Fall is here which means it’s finally soup season! My shiitake and seaweed soup is a favorite of so many of my clients, and it is sure to keep you warm on these chilly days!

Here’s what says about it - “This is no lie, my favorite soup of all time. The flavors are so in depth and I just can’t believe how good it is. I’m craving it constantly!”

It’s been a busy week of cooking and I couldn’t be happier!

‘Tis the season to load up on all of the fresh veggies and herbs!
This salad is a favorite of mine.
Beautiful potatoes and green beans from asparagus, petit peas, and loads of fresh dill. Top it off with a lemony avocado dressing and it just may be the perfect summer salad.
Yum!

I usually spend my Sundays with a cup of coffee and my notebook, planning out my schedule and the menus for each of my clients. It is one of my favorite times of the week. There is always satisfaction for me in having a good plan, but nothing is more satisfying than knowing that this food will help each of my clients in a different way.
For some, it will be one less thing that have to worry about in the middle of an extremely busy schedule. For others, it will be the fuel to nourish them in the battles they are fighting to stay healthy.
Whatever ease it will bring to each of them, I’m so grateful to be the one doing the cooking.
