Hello, My Name Is
"My mission is to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living helping others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat and how we treat ourselves."
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life culminating in cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30’s. Beyond my own health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc who lost his battle to cancer in his mid-40’s. Despite my many challenges with health, I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned from them because they have given me the fuel to pass on my knowledge to other people in need.

What ancient whole grain looks like barley, tastes delicious, and is packed with protein and fiber? Farro! I feel like farro isn’t talked about enough. It is nutty, has a perfectly chewy texture, and levels up any dish – especially a salad. Plus, it is extraordinarily nutrient-dense. This Farro Salad has so many levels of […]

While field corn is often used to make ultra-processed foods, sweet corn has numerous health benefits. It contains a significant amount of vitamin B12, iron, and folic acid, […]

My vice is any salty, crunchy snack. Seriously, if you open a bag of potato chips near me, good luck getting away with half the bag. But that’s why I’m a big fan of pickles! They satisfy my crunch and salt cravings all in one go. I recently decided to play around with pickle salad […]
