Things I've learned in life's Business School: ** You won't make money as a book author or as a restaurant owner. The ones who do are exceptions. **

Restaurant businesses are very difficult. They demand a lot of you, and your profits (if you ever make any) are usually low. I learned from my own experience and from all the business owners I met while a restaurant owner myself.

It's been a long time and, oh my God, I miss you all so much! During these years, I've been thinking a lot about many possible comeback projects, but I never get to a solid decision. Today I woke up especially nostalgic, and I was wondering if you guys would like to help me with some insights?

I started a cooking book project with the main Mind Your Belly recipes (yes, the famous MYBD bread would be included!) but never finished it. I'm not sure how scalable that would be — I'm not a business person, as you all can tell : /

Another idea would be selling recipes to an established restaurant that could incorporate MYDB recipes into its menu or to a prep food business — hello, Publix Ukrop's Homestyle Foods Ellwood Thompson's! — I had several business owners interested since we closed our doors, and we even had something very promising on the verge of being official, but then COVID hits : (

I'm not considering a food truck or reopening a brick & mortar place because, as I said, I'm not a business person, and all the admin tasks literally kill me, yuck! My thing is to cook and talk to people :D

I would love to hear from you! Please drop me a message. I miss you all and the good time at Mind Your Belly Deli!
