Hi friends!!!

Remember me?

I'm coming out of hibernation... and while the plans of the cafe are still on the distant horizon (🤞🤞 summer-ish?) I'm learning a NEW way to eat ALL OVER AGAIN because of a new diagnosis... which just means that I'm expanding my recipes to meet some new dietary needs.

As a completely vulnerable overshare, I've been in recovery from disordered eating along with my drinking. Through this journey, I traced my disorder back to before the age of 9- before I was double digits I was dieting. So, having to go back into a "good/bad food list" ideology was a bit much to take. But, I've been able to get to a place where I'm eating to feel well, not to treat/ hurt myself.

I'm learning to prep food differently so my needs are met while my family gets fed; I'm learning how to live with ADHD while having to consistently feed and supplement myself; and still trying to build a cafe while teaching full time & writing books on books.

So I wanted to pop in and share what I'm working on while God's Hands continue to build the infrastructure of the cafe. It has been a little quiet on my end, but survival sometimes requires a step back.

We've been feeding people, still... one of our goals with the cafe is to have a space where we can give back by way of food and nourishment.

We are working to build a Youth program that resembles the one in Mars Hill (check out The Well!!) and on building a safe work/ training space for those who have struggled with employment in the past.

We are going to eventually join forces with the other small organizations throughout our community to build a network of support.

So- this weekend my travels were a little "underwhelming" in the food department and I broke a few "rules"- but I enjoyed myself.

Any chance I have to eat brussels, I take it!!

Much love! Hoping to share a menu soon.

just a few shots of a little party from today- a BIG 1.0 for my little buddy

wraps, sliders, and a grazing setup; one of my faves!

Are you stuck on sugar? Try this easy frozen treat. But don’t eat them all at once, don’t ask how I know.
Would you eat this?

Work of art? Not quite, but it sure was tasty.

We sent out 10 servings of this chili yesterday and everyone enjoyed it.

Brisket chunks seasoned, seared and pressure cooked.
Veggies diced, seasoned, and sautéed.
Cans of black beans, corn, and fire roasted tomatoes.
Simmering smells so good!

As the floors are laid and the walls are built, we are piece by piece making dreams come true. God’s hands are hard at work around you, friends. You just have to look for the helpers and the humble. The meek in spirit with a servant heart will power through these darker times in humanity. Keep your torches raised and keep making your good dreams come true. This all started with different visions and a variety of needs; therefore, there are many of us working behind the scenes with dreams of light. While we still seek funding for this project, we’d take prayers and good wishes! I just know if we can pull this off, it’s going to enrich our community in a way that we can’t even explain just yet. There are so many pieces and working parts, but if anyone can manage working parts, it’s a bunch of God’s hands and a duo who will try anything an ask for support along the way. Much love and many hopes are at stake here, so well wishes are wonderful. Stay tuned for some recipes this weekend! We are making some goodies for research purposes. The food we make will then be distributed around the community, ON US! Giving you a taste of what’s to come with some servitude on the side. 🙏🫶🏼🙏

1- stickers are awesome
2- so are people
3- paying it forward is so much fun

This weekend, we’ll be sending out some more food- stay tuned!

(If you or anyone you know could use a nice warm meal delivered in the greater FK area, be sure to send me a message!)

Hey friends!

ISO people who would benefit from a homemade spaghetti sauce this weekend. I will be able to provide 4 quarts of sauce, free of charge- thanks to some local donors.

PM me if you know of any families and/ or seniors and/ or disabled and/ or veterans and/ or single parents in need of a pick-me-up.

I could use some canning jars! That way we can share out meals easily in a less waste producing way. If you have some laying around, give me a shout!

We were able to feed a local family today and have meals heading out tomorrow!! 🙏🙏

More “meals” and food baskets will be distributed over the course of the next 2 weeks.

If you know anyone in need of food, please reach out. We have some funds to use!!

Be sure to book your sides & apps in advance this year!! I am available for cooking on Nov. 26.

As the holidays come upon us, I will be booking out holiday private chef services & grazing tables.
