It occurred to me during my last job, creating delicious meals for a pregnant mama, that I could be much more efficient in many ways if I did things in bulk! Ingredients will be cheaper and for you, the customer, you will simply receive beautifully packaged foods once a week. No fuss, all healthy foods full of love and nutrients!

I will be requiring a minimum 5 meal per week commitment and I will be posting next week's menu this weekend. Trust me, it is delightful!! Get in touch with me if you would like to get in on this action, the meals are good for anyone and mamas who have recently given birth will also get a ton of healing goodies such as teas, tinctures, juices and broths!

Stay tuned for that menu!! Early bird sign up (before Monday) will get 10% off their entire order!!

My page has been silent for a long time!

I read a quote recently, I don't remember where, that said "Sometimes to discover new lands, you have to lose sight of the shore for a very long time."

I have learned so much about myself, about finding balance and about business in the last 9 months. I realized today that this adventure has been growing, changing and materializing in the same amount of time that it takes to grow a baby! How very fitting

YES!!! I get asked constantly :"Should I be vegan? Isn't Paleo the only way to be healthy? What are your thoughts on this diet??"

And my answer tends to be too vague for you all ;) Because there is no 'right' or 'wrong' diet friends, and those of you who know me, know what I am about to say next... We are all so different! Experiment and follow the path that feels right to you. There is no need to take sides or read a diet book as if it is gospel; as long as you are eating SOUL foods, you are in the clear!

We've recently become so obsessed with our diets we've lost almost all certainty in how or what we should be eating. Is there an optimal human diet?

I have a request to cook for a private event to celebrate a wonderful woman getting her Masters Degree... but my favorite part is that her request was based off the fact that my food is "the best she has ever had!"

YES!! :D

It's my favorite time of year. Hummingbirds are stopping by my front porch to say hello, my back doors stay open all day, it isn't too dark after dinner to go for a long family walk...

And Inner Evolution Yoga in Redlands asks me to cater their 30-day challenge party!!

This is one of my absolute favorite catering jobs that I have been blessed to cook for the last couple of years and I am so excited to serve up delicious food in my yoga pants and bare feet again this year!
